True. It seemed you were arguing something else?
Did you get your degree or are working toward your degree in finance?

Good luck. It seems like you have an interest in it. Whether you just invest personally or make a career of it it will serve you well.
thanks tbh..the only investing i'll be doing is on my own, that line of work is stressful. i interviewed at some of those investment companies and it's just a stressed out environment in there during turbulent times on the market.
too stressful for you. good to know.
I'll read your subsequent posts in light of that . . .
now, Gecko is in cardiac distress over all those moochers
Mitt Says His Heart "Aches" For You -- Convinced?
“My heart aches for the people I’ve seen,” Mitt Romney said, on the second day of his Ohio bus tour. He’s now telling stories of economic hardship among the people he’s met.
Up until now, Romney’s stories on the campaign trail have been about business successes – people who started businesses in garages and grew their companies into global giants, entrepreneurs who succeeded because of grit and determination, millionaires who began poor. Horatio Alger updated.
Curiously absent from these narratives have been the stories of ordinary Americans caught in an economy over which they have no control. That is, most of us.
At least until now.
“I was yesterday with a woman who was emotional,” Romney recounts, “and she said, ‘Look, I’ve been out of work since May.’ She was in her 50s. She said, ‘I don’t see any prospects. Can you help me?’”

Tax Loophole Benefiting Romney’s Estate Costs U.S. $1 Trillion Over Ten Years
According to administration figures, this loophole costs the government $1 trillion over a ten-year budget window:
In January 1999, a trust set up by Mitt Romney for his children and grandchildren reaped a 1,000 percent return on the sale of shares in Internet advertising firm DoubleClick Inc.
If Romney had given the cash directly, he could have owed a gift tax at a rate as high as 55 percent. He avoided gift and estate taxes by using a type of generation-skipping trust known to tax planners by the nickname: “I Dig It.” [...]
While Romney’s tax avoidance is both legal and common among high-net-worth individuals, it has become increasingly awkward for his candidacy since the disclosure of his remarks at a May fundraiser. He said that the nearly one-half of Americans who pay no income taxes are “dependent upon government” and “believe that they are victims.” [...]
The Obama administration estimates that closing the loophole Romney used would bring the federal government almost $1 trillion in the coming decade.
One analyst said that $1 trillion is a “laughable” under-estimate of the loophole’s effect, as “a single billionaire could pay $500 million more in estate taxes if these trusts are shut down.”

More Gecko touching heart news.
Ohio Gets the Love
Then Nicklaus introduced Mitt Romney. "What you heard from the Golden Bear ... the words he spoke, he touched my heart," said the candidate. He then gave his stump speech, and the Already Committed cheered lustily.
The rest is all up to you, Undecided Voters. Although it looks as if in Ohio, the Romney camp will need some Changed My Mind recruits, too.

Red States Outpace Blue States in Income Growth — Thanks to Food Stamps
Americans love nothing more than a good Red-State-Vs.-Blue-State argument, especially during election time.
So a new story in USA Today , looking at the changes in income, state by state, since the beginning of the Great Recession, of course breaks down the results into “red,” “blue” and “swing” states. It declares that red states have seen incomes grow 4.6 percent since 2007, adjusted for inflation, while blue states have only seen incomes grow 0.5 percent. In swing states? A little more than the blue states, about 1.4 percent.
But here's the kicker: that income growth in those red states? It comes, at least in the South, in large part to government benefits payments, like the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. You know, the ones that Republicans like Newt Gingrich attempt to use as a club to beat Obama and Democrats with. They go mainly to people living under or close to the poverty line, which means that income growth thanks to public benefits is the government making life more bearable for those hit hardest by the recession, not exactly economic growth caused by the “low taxes and business-friendly regulation” that the right-wing ALEC representative the article quotes claims. As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities notes, “The record-setting SNAP participation levels are consistent with the extraordinarily deep and prolonged nature of the recession and the weak, lagging recovery.”

This is why moonbat cites like alternet and thinkprogress are ing jokes.
Now, here's what the USA story actually said Notice anything missing from the moonbat link? Aside from what comprises their self-styled "large part"?
Also Shocker. Not all red states even. Only the poor red states. Wow. This is really hard hitting analysis.
Oh, and SNAP assistance was up 20% in Mississippi. It was also up 15% in New York. You won't find that on moonbat.net

St Ronnie started the "obamaphone" giveaway.
So call it what it is:
St RonniePhone
actually, the landline program started under Clinton. The cellphone program didn't start until 2008.
FYI -- that screamy quality to her voice is the result of vocal cord scarring that comes from smoking crack cocaine over a long period of time.
If Romney made an ad out of that it could be 2012's Willie Horton.
The State and Federal government has a program that provides free cellphones and free talk time to people with low income as well as senior citizens. This subsidized program is called Lifeline phones assistance program. But Obama hasn’t initiated it; it started few decades back and got its current format after going through several changes within this time. Safelink Wireless, the largest cellphone provider of the Lifeline program and a subsidiary of Tracfone, was created under the administration of George William Bush which received grants from a company that was launched during the Bill Clinton’s time and it was done because of an act passed by President Franklin Roosevelt which in turn was influenced because of an agreement between President Woodrow Wilson’s administration and some telecom service providers. So you can realize that this free cellphone service has a pretty long history and the claim about the Obama phone is nothing but a false rumor
"the Obama phone is nothing but a false rumor"
goshdarnit, I was so hoping it was true
Might not be true, but , why not take credit for it?"the Obama phone is nothing but a false rumor"
goshdarnit, I was so hoping it was true
