Look at OJ........Finally caught up with him. Also, his lawyers died young.
Do wrong, it will come back and bite you in the butt.
If not in this life, the next for sure.
Call it Karma or whatever but you get what you give 10 fold. I sure wouldn't want to be in any of their shoes.
You took the words out of my mouth with the OJ thing. It comes back to them in ways we may never find out, be it in poor health, lost relationships, whatever. I'm not sure they really sleep well at night, not so much out of guilt, but perhaps fear for their lives.

I don't believe it until I see solid evidence like video, police arrest record (that's a felony assault), or civil lawsuit record (if the subject decided to sue).

I've just decided to F-it! I'm leaving everything put and buying on the huge dips. Most of my holdings are LP gas and natural gas. The companies I hold are VERY secure with liquid assests now at a 1-1 ratio of the price the stock is being sold at. Plus, as we all know, no matter how bad things get, people still need energy. I own a large position in a pharmacutical mutual fund that is getting killed and believe it or not, my insured bond fund that only holds government muni bonds, no financials is also getting killed. In fact that fund is at a 22 year low! NUTS! I'm buying more in each of these positions, for if these all fail, then it won't matter anyhow, we aill all be screewed and the dollar will become the new charmin paper.

So unless you are in speculative stocks, loosing money, or about to face this recession hard, I would just stay put and add more on these huge dips.

Here are two to consider, I'm no pumper, so you decide. Both of these have huge dividends that will not decrease or go away and cash assets alone, totaling more then their market cap! Absolutely nuts at these prices. Buy a small position and hold it for 3-10 years. These were considered huge conservative dividend paying stocks at near double the price just a few months ago. Now they are unbelievable, unheard of bargains!

Who knows what this market will do. One minute it is down only 2% next time you look at it it is down 5%.

Yesterday when I looked it was down nearly 8% then it bounced back to only -3%.

There is a shadow bank run going on across the damn world and you people aren't buggin yet? Get your money out now. There will be a brief period of time when there is a shortage of actual paper dollars. Use them at this point to buy up distressed assets at discount prices. As soon as the government starts printing up all of its obligations, the money will be worthless. I'm stocking up on sugar, mason jars, ammunition, propane, gasoline, some silver, and getting what's left of my cash (only about $200) out of the bank right after work.

The illuminati/power elites don't want the peasants to know what's really going on right now. They are getting out safely and we'll end up taking the shaft unless you act now.
