- What is this NIV thing you speak of? Is it a medical probing device of sort?
- Unlike you I am inclusive, but if you don't want to be part of the "we" I am more than willing to kick you to the curb with a smile and don't think I am above taking your money in the process either. Also, let's cut the pretenses, you don't care about my fortunes. Save the sugar for the Mrs, it might come in handy if you happen to get a pink slip.
- Did you just say "my bank is doing just fine," "I can't speak for my bank's customers," and "I am not on the board of directors" in the same paragraph? Perhaps you should know more about your customers and ask management how the bank is doing before saying "my bank is doing just fine?" I say this because Enron was doing just fine too. This might come to you as a shock but during the great depression roughly 40% of the banks failed and those who survived got a hand from team FDR.
- Believe what you want, you obviously seem to do fairly well in that regard. I don't paint, I like to appreciate pictures of a naked economy. My favorite models are Model A, Model B, and Model C. NWS.
- Your bank exists because taxpayers have its back. With all its "good-business-nes" all it would takes for it to collapse is mass defaults of say 20% and precipitous withdrawal of funds by apprehensive customers. I wouldn't worry if you go under though, the FDIC will come in, clean you up for sale, and you will probably still have a job. I mean, when you're at the club no one got your back like Uncle Sam son.
- I am sure you could make a better Master of the Universe. You're going to have to earn it though...so far you've been up a few times and you've only managed to hit foul balls.
- One can argue that you can survive if you purposefully cutoff half of your limbs. Still, I find apotemnophilia disturbing.
Don't confuse being appalled with being upset. It is very difficult to phase me. While I have lost a lot of money in the market I'm really happy with the abundance of stocks on sale. I was just looking at purchasing a few shares of Berkshire Hathaway B which is on deep discount (you can't beat 0.86 P/E and 3,224.16 EPS). I'm still employed with the same company and while the economy has cramped our style a bit we're still as pure profit of a company as you can get. If I happen to lose my job I'm good to go.
Let's see here, a) your way of thinking isn't foreign to me, I just don't think it is sensible, b) I don't know if things will get better, I hope they do because being on a sinking ship hampers my swagger, c) if Obama succeeds hooray, if he fails we fail (without you and yours of course). I voted for Obama, I'm not his indentured servant, d) lastly, I have no intention of changing your mind, I already know that lock can't be picked. I probably have better chance looting Fort Knox.
It can't be denied, Hailing to the Redskins brings people together.
Good night and good .
