Short term investing  Reply with quote  

I was just recently reading Business Week and the topic was regarding our Federal Stimilus money to the economy and how it is only benefiting the short term. Their question basically was "When all this stimilus money (our tax money) that Obama has been throwing into Bailing out companies and throwing in cash for clunkers and homes, when that money is gone and reality strikes will the market crash again. My personal opinion, is that I agree with the statement. I believe once the dust settles and the stimilus money is gone, the free market still has to work itself out and when all these big companies are making products no one wants or can afford are they going to bail them out again? I wish the federal gov't would have allowed the free market to take place. This country is becoming very reliant and needy under the current administration. I personally hope there are a ton of firings in the November elections.

This tampering with normal economic forces in the vain hope of dampening their effects just causes the forces to distort some other part of the economy and come out in some other unexpected place.

I agree about the firings this November. I'm in favor of single-term limits anyway, regardless of what a politician's done. I think more than a few years in Washington and they're beyond hope anyway. I think that in lieu of terms limits that should be in the Constitution but aren't, it's the citizens' responsibility to retire their legislators when they're due to be retired. And also I think that if a voter can't vote for the incumbent's challenger, then it's OK to vote for "none of the above"

I put my vote where my mouth is and have voted using those guidelines for the last couple of election cycles already.

I think that short term investing is much better for beginners of the business filed. Because the risk is less and can get some profit in short time.

OK, half you guys here didn't read the OP and have no clue about what the topic is; you're just posting to flash your sig and/or run up post count for forum cash.

Thread closed for being off topic.
