The last 10 days have been the gift horse buying opportunity for buying stocks.Thanks wall

street.We`ve gotten the nervous Nellies out of the market.They should be in CD`s

getting 1%.

Major banks have announced some 160,000 job cuts since early last year and with more layoffs to come as the industry restructures, many will leave the shrinking sector for good as redundancies outpace new hires by roughly two-to-one.

A Reuters analysis of job cuts announced by 29 major banks showed the layoffs were much bigger in Europe than in Asia or the United States. That is a particular blow to Britain where the finance industry makes up roughly 10 percent of the economy.

Bank stocks are failing because people are hiding their wealth and it will continue to swell.

You reap what you sew.

Think MATTRESS - Lefty cretins.

You're not getting MY money.

Business will hire less and any new hires will be part time (Papa John's - tip of iceberg)

There's ALWAYS a way.

I already pay way too much taxes , while you stay home , collect the dole from multiple identifies, and complain about the 53% that support and feed you.

Next stop succession !

Let the deadbeats , darkies, illegal's and other parasites have their own little country.

How's THAT for fairness ?

"WASHINGTON (AP) — To hear some Republicans tell it, the Grand Old Party needs to get with the times. Some of the early prescriptions offered by officials and operatives to rebuild after devastating elections: retool the party message to appeal to Latinos, women and working-class people; upgrade antiquated get-out-the-vote systems with the latest technology; teach candidates how to handle the new media landscape. From longtime GOP luminaries to the party's rising stars, almost everyone asked about the Republicans' Nov. 6 election drubbing seems to agree that a wholesale update is necessary for a party that appears to be running years behind Democrats in adapting to rapidly changing campaigns and an evolving electorate. Interviews with more than a dozen Republicans at all levels of the party indicated that postelection soul-searching must quickly turn into a period of action. "We've got to have a very brutally honest review from stem to stern of what we did and what we didn't do, and what worked and what failed," said former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who ran the party in the 1990s. The party "has to modernize in a whole wide range of ways," added former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who ran against White House nominee Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential primary. "We were clearly wrong on a whole range of fronts." To determine what went wrong, the Republican National Committee is examining every detail of the 2012 elections, with the goal of rebuilding the party for the future-  much as the Democratic Party did in the 1980s after suffering a series of stinging losses at all levels of government."

You know what the GOP WON't DO... it won't ask those who oppose it, what's wrong with it. There is a huge difference between saying it has to get with the times and analyzing why deadbeats like Bush and now Romney overtake those who can get asked questions point-blank and answer them without prompts, mistakes, outright incrimination and flip flops. Apparently, running for Offices is a career to the GOP and because it is, the cost to campaign has risen ridiculously. If there really was a qualified Republican, the cost to campaign would be nominal and the actual campaign would be about issues and qualifications. Come on boys... Romney was NEVER qualified from Day One. It wasn't a race, it was a disgrace. Tax evasion, job terminations, grubbing and greed. There are the attributes of the enemy. Ron Paul was too old but his ability to answer point-blank questions with answers America wanted to hear was HUGE. Obama failed these past 4 years. Mostly because a bunch of moronic Good Ol' Party Boys compromised us using Congress and State positions to do us in. You want a REAL competition? Dump Rove. Ban PACs. QUALIFY you prospects. No one wants your version of ethics... geez, you had problems explaining rape and the role of some religions in Society. These have no place in politics. MANAGEMENT does. Dubya was a loser of massive proportion, not a CEO. Show us someone with dirty hands from building something good for America from scratch. Show us a builder of things who is of working age. Stuff your paper pushing financial pariah and law biz jerks where the sun doesn't shine. America hurts from your bad acts. Find a good one or dissolve your Party. BTW, we HATE the TEA PARTY, NRA and Far Ultra Conservative Klan Evangelist Republican Southern fanatic Right Extremists. Could you aim for folks with ALL their marbles?

This is off topic. However, for many of you, this will be the most important post you will ready for all eternity. 

There is a great truth most never really consider. We all die, be it today or 100 years from now.  We will all be dead.  It is an absolute fact. 

What I briefly wish to talk about is where you will spend eternity.  Since we will all be dead someday, where we spend eternity is off paramount importance.  It is the only thing that truly matters.

I believe most people don’t really like to think about death, and pretend it will not happen.  But it will.  I also believe most people don’t like to think about eternity much because it cannot be proved. 

I am making a definitive statement.  Jesus Christ, whose birthday we celebrate on Christmas, and whose resurrection we celebrate at Easter, is the risen Son of God.  It is only through faith in him that your eternity can be made secure.    2,000 year ago or so, God sent Jesus, his only Son, to die on a cross for us.

Why did he have to die, you might ask.  All men have gone against and disobeyed God’s commandments, the most basic of which is the 10 commandments.  As result, all men according to God are under the penalty of death.  The Lord is a just God and does not tolerate disobedience; his ways are higher than our ways.   

God however is merciful, and is not willing that anyone should perish.  So he sent his only Son, who was sinless and never disobeyed God, to die on the cross and therefore pay the penalty for all our sin. 

He offers forgiveness to those who are willing to accept the death of his Son as payment for your disobedience.  I am proclaiming this good news to you so that you might believe on the Lord Jesus and receive God’s forgiveness.  In order to secure your eternity, you must believe that Jesus Christ paid the price on the cross for your sins, and you must accept his death on the cross as being the full and only payment.

If you believe in Jesus, then you should begin to read the word of God, the holy bible, and find out how God commanded us to live.  His two greatest commands are these, to love him with all our heart, and to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves.  According to Gods word, if we do this we will live.

I have put before you the way to life.  It is your choice what you do with it.  I hope you choose well.    

Call it what you will. It makes no sense to blame long overdue drops in stock values on the President. Banks are well-past their usefulness. Notably, the article doesn't comment on banks severing tens of thousands of employees now and in coming weeks and it doesn't overlay the extremely relevant and pressing issues from the Roubini article. Is this dip worth buying into? Are you THAT stupid? There is no way for stocks to rise without viable means. With the majority of the world impoverished and only paper and button pushing and administrative jobs earning family-sustaining wages, what have we got? SQUAT!!! 2013 is forecast as dismal. I see the markets falling way off before the New Year. We didn't close banks or end the Federal Reserve's trash buy-back program. Only 15 years ago, the sum total currencies in the world were $50 to $60 Trillion. Today, the THREE currencies in the world: tangible and electronic cash, debt contracts and derivatives, tally over $1 QUADRILLION and counting. Stocks are entirely fiat because no American business platform has any assets. They sold the factories, terminated the skilled labor and rely entirely on a financial gambling strategy using fake money. Lending rates are too low to be viable. Banks lend to earn a Return on Investment. Prevailing rates are actually too low to service, so they are losing on every dollar lent! The Fed takes in the bad debt and gives them the cash back. If that credit is only losing money while it exists and a debt note is created in offset, the financial sector is creating two LOSSES with every loan!

It's time to tell CONGRESS, not the President to Close the Banks, End the Federal Reserve and to get RID of Wall Street. We don't live for money, it's supposed to exchange for effort so we can all live as we would like to. Wealth HAS to GO. Tell CONGRESS-- increase taxes on the rich and free up our currency. Restore and recover jobs, make Corporate America pay for it or close up. We are fully capable of making Twinkies again. Only the Law Biz mumbo-jumbo prevents it. The guy who invented them is dead. Now the company who exploited the invention is now dead. Dissolve the patent, the trademark and free it for new enterprise. Let's stop kidding ourselves... we don't need or want rich inheritors... we want opportunity and the freedom to pursue it, not New World Order.
