Are you preparing yourself for when the economy turns up? Eventually the upswing will get here. Most people who will succeed to higher heights are the ones who are preparing for the next move. Are you one of those people? I know currently most people are just trying to make it day to day, but we also got to be ready to make major moves when it gets here.

Nothing dramatic is going to happen until Barack Hussein Obama is gone. The smart money will wait this marxist out.

Anyone who claims he's a "marxist" does not understand what the word means. Period. Obama is not even close to being a marxist. Anyone "smart" knows that....


BTW, waiting him out for who? Hillary?

If you are looking for market gains, well you already missed out on a nearly 100% increase from the lows to brand new highs.

What gets people in the most trouble is waiting till everything doesn't just look rosey, but looks like everything is perfect and will never fail again. They invest their money at the high of the market right before the next recession cycle, then have a stroke when the market drops again. They then promptly pull their money out at the low and moan about how the market is some big scam.

Waiting till the market finally "turns up," no idea what that actually means in any quantifiable terms, will make sure you lose your shorts. I had cash sitting around waiting for the bubble to pop after selling at the highs, and bought when it went below 8,000. Even the indexes are at a 100% increase from then to today, my best stock was hitting over 225% increase.

Not even the most ardent liberals can hold their breath that long. Unfortunately it's going to take an executive who is actually serious about the economy to make real changes. If Obama was a serious president, the first thing he'd do is approve the Keystone Pipeline. There'd be plenty of jobs, even for the illegals, and the US would take another step towards weaning ourselves off the ME and Venezuela.

Instead he sic's the EPA on the electric industry, his bureaucrats regulate the hell out of business, Obamacare is causing an explosion in part time jobs...and on and on. Obama could care less about the economy and it shows in all his actions and especially his inactions.

As Mr. Wanderer noted above, the upturn in the market happened a LONG time ago. People who were paying attention have already made steaming piles of money.

As for the overall economy, here is a list of things that have consistently gotten better month by month, quarter by quarter, for three or four years: auto sales, home sales, industrial production, business investment, retail sales, factory orders, corporate profits, personal income, aggregate household wealth.

Dockside, you are pretty much right about Obama, but the American system is mighty strong and has been able to overcome the headwinds generated by the man who has never owned a business, or managed a business, or worked in a business, or even had a paper route. Even today, the stock market is not as high as it should be because people who understand economics are distraught about the leadership of the country.

Why do actual Marxists think Obama is a right-winger? But anyway, after Obama is done Hillary will be next.

Romney was endorsed by the KKK and Birch society.

So if Obama is a communist because he was endorsed by communists, Romney is a raving lunatic with a history of lynching blacks because of who endorsed him.

Here's a thought, why don't we try actual rational arguments instead of this stupid BS you are spouting?

That actually doesn't answer my question. If Obama is a Marxist, why do actual Marxists think he's not a Marxist?
