What do you need for a good WHINE?







Sour grapes!!

When are you guys going to learn to MOVE ON?

Get over it already, start thinking about 06 and the Senate elections and 08 for the Presidential elections.

By the way all sign's point to a booming economy, College seniors are being recruited in more numbers than in the last 5 years.

Things are getting better. However if you go looking for problems, trouble, and issues you will find them. Even in the best of times.

Well, what about the budget deficit, the continued high price of oil, the dollar's continued slide and Greenspan's comments today?

Some hightlights:

Greenspan took investors by surprise, saying that foreign appetite for U.S. assets would likely decline and clearly stated that those who were unprepared for higher interest rates were bound to get burned and were "desirous of losing money."

"We had a triple whammy -- dollar, rates and oil. The three factors in combination led to a pretty major sell-off across the board," said Williamson.

Greenspan's caution that investor appetite for the dollar would dwindle sent the euro near its all-time peak against the greenback. A lower dollar dampens stocks because it can reduce foreign investors' appetite for U.S. assets.

"Even though (Greenspan's) comments don't indicate anything new about the general outlook, just to hear it confirmed and emphasized by the most important policymaker out there I think just shook markets up," said John Shin, U.S. economist at Lehman Brothers.

Higher interest rates are seen as bad for stocks as they curb consumer spending and increase companies borrowing costs.

But at least things are getting better and those that question the current status of the economy are only looking for trouble and problems. And when did the prospects of record budget deficits, higher interest rates and a devalued dollar become signs pointing to a "booming economy?"

"Prosperity is just about the corner!" Hmmm. When did we last keep hearing that?

Lower dollar is bad for stocks, but good for workers. It increases the competitiveness of manufacturing.

I like money earned through hard work more than money made through investments, but that is a personal thing.

Deficits are not nearly as high (on a percentage of GDP basis) as they were under reagan. The government should stop spending money to take care of that problem. With the potential of coming close to a super majority they should get all Newt Gingrichy and just stopp spending money.
