Samurai136 0 #51 November 9, 2006 Quote>The lowest it ever got under Clinton was 7.25% and that was very short lived. OTOH, the stock market generally does considerably better under democratic leadership. (table attached.) Interesting that only Nixon and GW Bush showed negative returns.

juanesky 0 #52 November 9, 2006 Then we all must assume that the stock market crash in 2000, when the tech bubble bursted is just a figment of our imagination. Lots of people had a positive return back then."According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freethefly 6 #54 November 9, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuoteWe just have to survive another two years of Bush the dope-lomat, unless the House starts impeachment procedures . . . Oh be still my heart . . . As much as I dispise that clown of a president(?), I think it would be much worst if that Nazi of a vise president(?) were to take his place. Yeah, but then if he died, Nancy Pelosi would be president! Uhhhm, the Cheney that we all have come to know and love is in fact a (start humming Twilight Zone music) CYBORG!!!!!!!! The real Dick dropped dead of a massive snear attack one fateful day while rolling in his millions of dollars and screaming "FUCK YOU!!!!!" at an IRS poster. The massive snear attack occured in October 1998. The year he "supposingly" left Halliburton. The snear pulled every muscle in his chest so hard that it actually "popped" his heart. The snear is still present today. Cyborg technology was being undertaken deep in the bowels of Halliburton and it was said by the scientist "Men, we can rebuild him" a line they stole from The Bionic Man tv series. The real Dick was quickly taken to the top secret facility miles below Halliburton's world headquarters where doctors built a meaner, nastier and faster (no shit, the guy can run faster than 80mph) Dick. They labored near 18 months applying the latest in top secret cyborg technology. They replaced his heart with a titanium cased nuclear reactor (no shit, he can supply power to a large metro area during blackouts). His blood was replaced with a special coolant (no shit, the guy never sweats in the hottest enviroments). His legs and arms were also replaced as the massive snear also pulled all of those muscles up into his lip. His limbs are nuclear powered and gives him great strength (no shit, the guy can bench press an aircraft carrier). His eyes were also replaced with special digital opticals (no shit, the guy can actually see into the future). His brain was replaced with a one trillion gigabyte proccessor that allows him to perform more than a million tasks all at the same time (no shit, the guy can also download free music right into his head via a wireless link). But, alas, with all the top secret technology that was available at the time, the snear could not be removed from his face. The new and improved Dick emerged from the "Garage" (the top secret code word for where Dick was) February 2000 to retake the helm of Halliburton untill August of that same year when he was called upon by his country to serve snearingly. Cyborg Dick snearingly rose to the challenge!"...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

DaVinci 0 #55 November 9, 2006 QuoteOTOH, the stock market generally does considerably better under democratic leadership. (table attached.) What was that data tracking? DOW? S&P? NASDAQ? My personal return over the last 5 years is....11.3%, 3 years is over 13%, last year over 17%. And I am kinda conservative in my investments. Your graph shows -.92% for 5 years?
