whether a crash happened right before taking office or right after taking office is irrelevant.
GW righted the ship faster and more effectively and resulted in dramatically better economic growth and employment.

and printing over $3 trillion in "quantitative easing" to artificially prop up the stock market makes the indicies look great, but is horrendous for the long term economic health of the country and value of the dollar.

Yeah, it's not hard to see that the market is obviously up because there is nowhere else to put your money and expect any kind of decent return.

Housing: Sucks
CD's: Sucks
Bonds: Sucks

I'd even say gold kind of sucks, because the entry barrier is too high now.

Righted the ship faster? He never got back to the employment rate he took office at.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Here's the same thing another way. Hmmm.

So... RGR (of which I own some) and SWHC have had a great rise during the Obama years due to fear of the fed government enacting further gun control, which they never did. Now... with renewed fear of the fed government enacting further gun control, and sales spiking (again), gun stocks are down. Makes sense. :dunno:

because short term sales might be up, but long term business would be way down

ie- in 08 the market didnt think that there would actually be any new gun laws, just people buying lots of stuff.
now, the market thinks there actually will be new gun laws

bah, I would buy more RGR if I had some $. The last "assault rifle" ban didn't accomplish anything or hurt sales as far as I know. Unless they just ban all guns (yeah right), Ruger's going to be selling a ton, and much of what they make isn't scary assault rifles. They mostly make the non-scary, functionaly-equivalent stuff that is clearly for hunting and defense, and is incapable of shooting people!

Fixed that for you.

BTW- I hope everyone got everything settled in your long-term accounts/plans as capital gains will likely go up or at least not go down. I restructed my entire portfolio and took the taxes in CY12 since apparently capital gains is only for rich people, not the middle class that depends on growth for their retirement :roll:

Nice, i did that last year. New growth from the changes made up for the tax hit in I think the first 8 months. Super not happy about the projected tax hikes, especially on bonuses since that is over half of my income. I'm already taxed like crazy.

I finally opened a Scottrade account this weekend... Now I have no idea what I am doing lol. I have just been messing around with the research tools but I don't really know any other reliable sites to check to help me decide on my first buy. Any advice?
