Its usually the bust that gets people, and there was time to get out in the slow decline until about summer 2001, IIRC.

My right wing brother bragged about how much he increased their 401k investments after 9-11, whle at the same time complaining of not having enough money to buy carpet and other things for his house. He "accidentally" used my 77 yr old mom's credit card to do this. You know the saying, use "OPM" - other people's money - whenever possible.

In 92, pugs said the market would crash if Bill got elected. Show them the history and charts? Don't wanna see 'em. They're "BIAS"

He also thought everything Clinton did was terrible, except for more money for cops (he was one) and federal aid for the pond at his ranch. What a coincidence.


Sometimes political affiliations have more to do with deep psychological makeup than rational thought.
