... and, of course, all my wooddorking buds hereabouts, I've come to the decision (gallantly and altruistically if I may say so myself) to do ALL ya'll a BIG favor:



Scientific analysis of some 40 + years of carefully gathered, personal financial data suggests that _my_ investment in crude oil futures will suffice to trigger an immediate and precipitous fall in oil prices, thereby allowing a return to the more normal (and comforting) wRec discussions of electrical and global warming issues, along with a reduced necessity on the part of a proportionately more robust Chinese economy to engage in spam, to the benefit of all.



AAMOF, I just called my broker, so wish me/us luck on all counts, and stay tuned.



And above all remember that those who buy high and sell low, sacrifice for _your_ salvation.



... you're welcome!


You must have gone to the same business school I did.

Thanks for the sacrifice!

Thank-you very much for your contribution to our financial well being! I have a similar run with stocks; I've considered writing the CFO's of corporations and telling them that for a small fee, I will *not* buy any of their stock and enclosing a copy of my portfolio to back up my offer.

Thank you. I also have invested in oil products. Just today I bought another $53 of the commodity and I'm storing it in a tank in my wife's car.

Thank you so much. I finally have an investment strategy. I can short oil, go long on carbon credits and electrical components, and start looking for opportunities in the Chinese stock market.

Your sacrifice is appreciated.

ROFL ...

Glad to oblige you!

I'd like to transfer all of my investments to the "Sell Short Fund", but so far haven't found one.

Thanks but I feel left out.

Being from Pennsyltucky, my idea of an investment is the money spent on lottery tickets.

My Grandfather said there was a word for people who think like that - Democrats.

Damn, that makes me a bonafide political schizophrenic.

I have a freind that plays the commodity market, a while back we talked about the price of gold and how it has gone way up, he said if only he had invested a year ago. I suggested to him the way things are going my best investment could be lead, thats just to protect what I have. Ross

Currently, already, Gold is in the crapper compared to a few months ago. Down several hundreds per ounce IIRC.

The word around here is Beany Babies. If that seems risky, try Cabbage Patch Kids. Some of my investor friends are still into TME futures.

I think the two-party system is divisive.

Da tavarisch.

Ya those cabbage patch kids, I've often thought about buying a bunch of them and making sour kruat kids, shread'em up pack'em in jars with one eye looking out. ross

(In my best Scooby Doo voice): Huh??

Literal Translation: "Yes, Comrade".

Implication: one-party is the only alternative.

Acually: three parties are a lot more fun.

e:

Three parties are also divisive. Smaller piece of the pie, but still divisive.

Or 35 parties and the 5 biggest can't form a coalition gov't.

How about NO Friggin Parties, Clubs, or Associations.
