I think the entitlement mentality that has dominated our culture will change when this is all said and done.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully people become more repectful to one another and we can beome a more caring society. We don't need anymore Paris Hiltons in the world.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you scalped a few trades after the Obama election. That was a nice sharp correction over those few days.<BR/><BR/>I am sick about dumping SRS at 160..Its in the $250's! SKF is up there too.

But, everytime a piece of bad news came out it "wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be." There was so much hope in the market from Bear Stearns through the October crash and back up to Obama's election that reality simply could not take hold.<BR/><BR/>Now reality is here and the denial and bandaids of the past 9 months have made this much worse than it had to be. <BR/><BR/>I do believe that if, as a country, we can provide food, shelter, energy and TV for our people we will come out of this thing better off, especially considering the excesses of the past couple decades. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately too many people feel entitled to their excesses and the resistance to the truth (see Mar'08-Nov'08) may make recovery harder than it needs to be.<BR/><BR/>That being said I did well on shorts from O'bama's election thru Tuesday, and of course I sold too early, once again. I hope my money is worth something when I'm forced to spend it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again Jeff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
