Last May I told you about the consensus of the Bilderberg meeting being that the goal should be a universal currency. Seems that the IMF and the UN are pushing for that very thing as we speak. One of the stocks that I'm invested in is a biological company that actually develops drugs that help people. Because of that they've had a big target on their back from the much bigger companies who don't want to lose sales because their drugs don't work as well. Whole volumes could be written about the underhanded means that they've resorted to and how obvious it is that medical journalists and analysts are in their pockets. I've been watching corruption in action to a degree that even I didn't realize existed. It's also no surprise that some of the dirtiest tricks seem to come from Teva, an Israeli pharma that is huge. With some of the stunts that they pull, it's no wonder that they're as big as they are. They aren't alone in the corruption dept though. There's a LOT of it going around.

So, is your stock up or down?

And to what do you contribute the increase (or decrease)?

Next questions??

They are starting to come back some but have a long ways to go. I contribute much of the decrease to the practice of naked shorting that has gone on for a number of years in the market. It puts a real hurting on a lot of good companies.

Congratulations Shep. Keep up the good work:-)

Welcome back Boltlady, First, are you having problems with posting as in when you post it shows as one large paragraph instead of your intended format? Every thing you speak to is true, and I'm sure even larger. Most people will not take notice until it is way to late and then they will be behind the eight ball. That's something I'm having to learn to live with. To me this is serious, but to most it rolls off their ignorant backs for lack of first-hand experience. Seasoldier/This is a salutation, two paragraphs, and a sign off.

Well, I bought back in somewhere around April 1. If that is how dead fish think, then I am SO VERY GLAD YOU ARE CORRECT!!

Jack (the very clever stringer of dead fish). heheheheeh

What seems to be the problem?

So,mine going up are the result of what Bush did over 8 years? I do not think so!

By the way, you see posted on this site over a half million new jobless applications for September, this month. Over three years ago I removed all exposure to stocks and I had well over fifty, and I'm damn glad that I did.

While everyone talks about HOW THE ECONOMY IS TURNING AROUND under Obama I notice few are willing to go out on a limb and say, 'how so'.

Starting a few days ago, I think close to the "MOTHER" post somehow the Slate "CSS" style sheet dropped some html code, mainly the

XXXX or the br code. I can't figure out why it would be just me but I'm back at the main computer and even that makes no difference. I've gone back through all my settings but I doubt it is settings. You know how Slate has their style page set up and for some reason all my paragraphs are being run together. Maybe they want me to shut up, huh? Hahahahahahahaha

Considering that I do not know what CSS or XXX is Sea,I have to take your word for what you said. >:o)

As far as "Mother,"I do know my computer has one.I am not sure where," Father ,"went.

Re "running together"...

Is your shift key stuck ?

Jack

This happened when I first got this computer, a Mac, but then it stopped doing it and behaved. Now that it's doing it again I'll just have to remember to put a bunch of dots between paragraphs to separate them. You might want to do that too if you're having the same problem.
