Contrary to what the Right would like you to believe, the economy is slowly improving. We have a long way to go and 2010 will be a dangerous year for banks with a large portfolio of commercial loans.
"Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Reports on industrial production and consumer prices today showed the U.S. economy is emerging from the economic slump without spurring inflation."

improvement GF. And that is good news most welcomed by those of us on the Right. Unlike Democrats who spent the 8 years of the Bush administration celebrating bad news for America as it was good news for Democrats, we are actually hopeful that despite the current administration and the Dem-controlled congress the American people's phenomenal resiliency will overcome their damaging actions. The difference between the Right and liberals is we don't look to government as the solution to our problems. In fact, the less government the better off we will all be in the long run.
The primary way the government can impact the economy is with monetary policy, tax policy and regulatory distortions of the markets. The last 25 years is rife with prime examples of where each of these has negatively impacted the economy.

I'll second that. While Obama disgusts me, I also care about friends I see losing their jobs and the closing of businesses that I feel this administration could have avoided with the right policies rather than a socialist agenda.
As I pointed out before, an economy our size follows the world economy, we are coming out of recession in spite of ourselves and the poor leadership ... but that is because the rest of the world is ahead of us. And if we have anyone to thank it is Bernanke and how he has managed the money supply and interest rates.
The scary thing will be as things pick up, are we going to have a return to the stagflation of the carter years.
But for now, this greedy right winger is enjoying the recovery in the equity markets back to where it was when Obama was elected. A few wise investments have me feeling very good. The key is where we go from here. that is what i am working on now to decide what to do. Take a break, reallocate, hold the course with what has worked.

With the likes of Obama in the WH you know in the final analysis he will destroy America and private enterprise. You should cash in , buy gold, bury it in your backyard and load up what I suspect is your substantial arsenal! With all your ranting posts I don't see how you could you do otherwise?

I give you a stock just a couple weeks ago ATPG when it was trading at just $11 (I bouth it much lower) ... today it closed at close to $21. Now if you took my advice and bought just 1,000 shares you would have doubled your money and made $10,000 in just a couple weeks. And it is going higher.
I was trying to teach you the joys of capitalism and free markets, but just keep letting Obama make your decisions and he will take care of you. I'll bet you were a mamma's boy too.
No more stock picks for you. I have another that should do the same. BTW, you never answered, how is your business doing? Booming? Obama doing all the right things to make your business take off?

I'm a small practice doing residential additions/renovations, a few new houses (2 under construction and 2 in design), a little small commercial and (my favorite) historic preservation/restoration. I'm actually turning down some work which is less interesting. I don't claim the election of Obama is the reason, but I will say that this time last year I had less than half the projects on the board as now. You tell me.
PS: thanks for the stock tips, but with what I've gone through with my modest portfolio in the last year and considering my age I'm not in the market at the moment. I know I should have gone in big 6 months ago but I am being very "conservative" at the moment. I have enough of a nest egg to live comfortably for the rest of my life and am in fact easing out of stocks and mutual funds. I have no desire to take any risks beyond those I presently hold.

By the last paragraph it does not sound like you believe in the messiah as much as you tend to say in your posts.
I am glad your business is doing well. Good for you.

Gold would be far too hard to sell to us racist idiot Alabama and Georgia rednecks, my wife's suggestion is alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
