In closing. If as Bosco asserts, I am too naive to be in the market, and therefore unwanted. I have to wonder why people like John Malone, and Louis Moore Bacon are buying up property like crazy, and why over $30 billion has been withdrawn in the first half alone from Mutual Funds just to be re-invested in land. Yeah, ...more

And you know what is nice about investing in undeveloped forest land, you can't lose, and we haven't. We can also walk on it and enjoy the tranquility of the forest far from the maddening crowds. On one section of land that I own just off of Lake Pettenwell in central Wisconsin I tell visitors there that I may be the l...more

Thanks 'Getaclue' , but we were not clueless, we were disgusted with the entire chain of events, disgusted with people like Bosco. You see we are patriotic, from the old school of country first, not the ideal of how many people can I ruin just to make more money than one could ever spend, which is what it is about. It ...more

Thanks Bosco. I'll stay out just like the other 92% of nation has, and we shall allow the 8% of you experts to continue to feed off of each other. I'll just keep buying forest land as I have been doing for the last three years. God stopped making dirt a long time ago.

I pulled out of the market completely, and I will not go back in until this question is answered. Let's say I invest $20,000 in corporation XYZ, and then as is always the case these days the stock went down 2 minutes later, and now I have lost half of my investment, where did my money go. Did it evaporate into thin air...more

For one thing people do win the lottery all of the time, and usually it was a $1 ticket that did it, Las Vegas will not make you rich, period. I would not invest it in Wall Street that is for sure, and I would move to another country like New Zealand, Canada or Sweden. These are country's that take care of their people...more

I see some common sense returning. The city's that will offer the most promise in the future will be the city's with the most abundant natural water supply. Buy a coat people, all of those city's are in the north. Another thing about the northern/Great Lakes city's, no natural catastrophes of biblical proportions. Besi...more

Yeah, the first stimulus package in 2007 really helped me. I didn't get a penny in the mail. I bet most of you did. Devine Right how much did you get in 2007. $1,500 I bet.

Devine Right are you wrong, you know not a thing. How about stop the tax incentive for company's to move overseas. Off shore drilling will at most make up for about 5% of the oil, WOW. I sold all of my stocks of which most were in oil a little over three years ago. And I am considering buying stock in a wind turbine op...more
