Interesting article about Clinton and the balanced budget.
The sad part is that many on here take the same position as Barbara Boxer.

Rule 4 (buy low, sell high) violates rule 1. You can't tell when the market is high or low based on rule 1

If you don't know what you paid for something, you're lost anywhos, so forget the stock market.

Actually many people lose money by selling their winners and hanging onto their losers hoping they will bounce back and recoup their loses. By "buying low and selling high" you are attempting to time the market rather than looking at the companies themselves.

Buy it when it's cheap; sell it when it goes up. If it don't go up, don't buy it.

That's a very rough paraphrase from Will Rodgers.

@parados,

There's no helping those who can't make the right decisions on their own investments. Generally speaking, most people sell their funds when they think they're going to lose everything they own - and once they sell it at their lows, they've already lost their money. That's the reason why I keep telling investors, buy low and sell high.

If they have losers, that's what they should be selling. That's the instruction I gave may wife about five years ago when I told her she needed to manage her own investments, because I may not be around to manage her funds.

It's been working for over five years. Simple edict; buy low and sell high. Sell your losers, and keep your winners. Even today's lows are still higher than the price paid for.

My gains for this year is now over 6%.

Bolstered by a healthier private sector, the United States economy gained 236,000 jobs in February, well above what had been expected, while the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, its lowest level since December 2008.

@H2O MAN,

You can't even figure out my gender. Some people are just plain stupid - like you! LOL

Thank god for Obama! Romney would have been a disaster for our country and the world.

Let's see what Obama has been able to accomplish;
a) our economy is slowly recovering from GW Bush's Great Recession
b) most people have now recovered all they have lost under GW Bush's Great Recession
c) the stock market is at new highs
d) more people are buying homes and cars (probably too spacial for you to understand what that means to our economy)
e) all this even as the GOP tries to stifle Obama's progress

IT'S A MIRACLE!~ but you wouldn't understand any of it. Water has drowned your brain.

a) Not true.
b) Not true.
c) So what?
d) Not at any level that would indicate a recovery - NOT EVEN CLOSE.
e) Obama's progress must be stifled, De-funded and overturned.

You're the one that needs to be stifled. You wouldn't know reality if it stared you in the face.

It is useless to try to debate H2O. He is the master of the baseless reply.

@Advocate,

I like to make himself look stupid to the a2k community; he's an easy target, because nothing he posts is supported by anything!

After all these years, he still doesn't know my gender. His head is so screwed up, I'm not sure he knows which way is up or down! LOL

watersquirt is part of my daily entertainment. Mr. Green

I am really beginning to see a lot of empty big box stores and large restaurants. Pretty depressing this is but we all knew that retail was over built. I am also seeing a lot of retail that might be gone soon, as right now they are either just barely or not covering costs of operations.we just had a sizzler demand a huge cut in rent when the lease was up, when they did not get it they closed. We will see a lot more of this.
