Buy High, Sell Low
Oct. 24th, 2008 10:50 amStrange that stock investors seem to be reacting to news that confirms that we're in a recession. Did anyone who pays attention to the economy think that we weren't in one? I wish I had money to invest and enough cushion to sit on my investments, on the assumption that what I buy will be higher in five years.
I live in Colorado, a battleground state, so I've been getting at least one anti-Obama robocall a day from the Republicans; a week ago the theme was that he hangs with terrorists, now it's his inexperience, and of course every few days it's that he's going to raise taxes. Interesting, though: a month ago I was getting a lot of anti-Udall robocalls - Mark Udall being the Democrat running for Senate - mainly about his nefarious plans for spending my money, but those calls have disappeared. Perhaps the anti-Udall money has simply shifted to television. But I'm also wondering if the Republicans have conceded the Senate seat while still thinking the presidential run is in play.* There've been stories of the McCain campaign pulling out of the TV market here, but McCain will be in my city today, and my guess is that even if he's drastically cutting back in Colorado, he doesn't want to make it appear as if he's giving up on any more states.
( Obama is being kind of a shithead too )
( How Nevada could decide the election )
*FiveThirtyEight has Udall ahead by 8.8 and Obama ahead by 6.3, which isn't that big a difference.
