As soon as I saw the bucket, “I shot the Sheriff Lyrics” came to mind:

Reflexes got the better of me
And what is to be must be.
Every day the bucket goes to the well,
But one day the bottom will drop out,
Yes, one day the bottom will drop out

“History will show that the great postwar experiment with financial deregulation lasted from the first oil shock in 1973 to the third oil shock in 2008.”

I said about the same thing thursday or so. Something about the first public display of the real powers in this world. I was right on the verge of buying a bunch of GM stocks. ( remember: What’s good for GM is good for america.) It was down to $10.05. The 52 week high was $42.00. My daughter is 17. I figured to buy maybe 500 shares and let her cash them in in 10 years or so.

I’ve preached a mixture of capitalism and socialism for 40 years. But it has to benefit the guy in the street as well as the elite. I just hate to see central governments of any type get more power! I don’t trust the bastards. Rant off.

Yeah, how does the private show thing work? Do you have an agent or do we email you?

This house of cards we live in….is it tumbling down? I haven’t heard this level of pessimism with regards to the markets in a long while. Yet the restaurants and shopping malls are still full… at least in our neck of the woods… Interesting article to be read in Maclean’s titled “Edge of Disaster”.
