by the way, Bill Fleckenstein has an amazing 80s mane...he might be on to something.

I don't want to be rescued.  I like being in the driver seat of my own life and an infrastructure conducive to allowing that.  I don't care if people have more than me or get rich...just don't walk on my back to achieve it.

I get that we have a global economy...but, it's never been so hype driven.  Articles headlines that once worried me now make me chuckle.  We are all intermingled to a degree but these "journalists" are selling fear with a pretty bow tied to it.

Just ener your preferred:   I'm with you on the Ford stock!!!  I hate myself for not buying it for a buck twenty five a few years back when a the talking heads were saying the sky is falling.

Just Enter...   The Dow is Comprised of 30 Large Companies...that's it.  They are all still here.

we consumers have let banks get way too big...go to a credit union if you can or a smaller state bank.  Give the little guys you business.  No company should be too big to fail.  inverted pyramid.

Read this book it's eye opening. Confessions of a Car Saleman - Michael Ackerman   and of course I want the auto industry to make money, hell I even want to give the full comission to the sale person if they are helpful and pleasent to work with.  Having said that, you still got to look out for numero uno.

Ford is really turned itself around!!!  I only wish I would have purchased company stock when it was just over a buck a share.  My loss.  Keep up the good work Ford.
