So the market continues to be in turmoil. The economic bad news continues its Hit Parade. Here at twodinks east, we’re driving ourselves crazy with uncertainty. Ride it out so we can benefit from the inevitable upswing? Pull all our money out, take the huge tax hit, and put it in a Mason jar? What to do, what to do.
What about you all?
Suffice to say, turn off CNBC if you want to hold onto what’s left. Last night’s Daily Show with Jon Stewart said it all.
Money is for suckers. Subsistence farming, that’s the wave of the future.
Ride it out. There’s always a bottom. Or be a tax genius like me, and get the government to pay you not to plant corn this year.
Interesting — I saw a Pew Research Center poll of the top 20 things people were most concerned with. One year ago, it was climate change #1. In January 2009, the economy #1, with climate change dropping to #20. Hmm. Also read a study by Jeremy Oppenheim, Global Director of McKinsey & Co. Climate Change Special Initiative (McKinsey, I’ve heard of them somewhere……) who says switching to a low carbon economy will fix both. Suffice to say, it’s a long paper with nice graphs. http://www.euractiv.com/25/images/Climate_change_myths.pdf
While I wait for the MSM to tell me what to fear next, I’m hoping that Limbaugh will debate Obama on pay per view (don’t say “ugh”, you know you’ll buy it), and all that money raised will go towards job creation. Or PBS. I hear they’ve been using fancy pants director types with new bitchin’ glasses.
We’re riding it out, and not listening to the idiots in the MSM. I wish I had extra cash to throw at some blue chips that are waaaay undervalued right now.
I’d pay to watch Obama own Limbaugh. Good money. As long as that fat fuck would agree to leave radio forever once he was owned.
And I can smell your jealousy. Nobody’s stopping you from buying your own bitchin’ glasses, monkeyboy.
My wife is afraid it wouldn’t stop with the glasses, that I might be tempted to buy a warm floppy hat of some kind. DOH!!
Economy problem of the day: Tax returns are coming soon, digital TV is around the corner (again), and not one American company makes TVs. Seems like people run for the back of Best Buy with any extra spending money, yet it does us no good. I guess it keeps the Mexican glass manufacturers happy, and retains the jobs of the 14 year olds selling TVs.

BAHAHAHHAHAHAH
PS – I tried it on last weekend and it’s cozy…
We’re burying our heads in the sand. I’m a firm believer that if I can’t see them, they can’t see me. When I hear people walk by with what sounds like shiny new jingly things I’ll assume it’s all over and it’s situation normal.
QQQQ baby
