Just wondering if this will be the fault of George Bush?

Someone will come up with a way to blame it on him.  Hell,  the deaths attributed to Hurricane Katrina was blamed on him.  Never mind the fact the incompetent mayor of NOLA,  let 100's of school buses flood when they could have been used for evacuations.  Just to easy to blame Bush.

bullets13 already confirmed my job title and the amount of assets I manage. Do we really need to go over this again?

Bullets13 is a great guy but he does not understand this business in depth.  The word "manage" can mean many different things.  From my perspective, unless you are personally calling the buy/sell Shots ( which you aren't) you are not "managing".  And, by the way, as much as you like to belittle mutual funds, when one aggregates all of the assets such as those of the S. Foundation, it essentially is a mutual fund with multi managers.

I agree! Plenty of blame to go around. Whereas Biloxi and Gulfport were near total destruction, N.O. was limited to nearly one neighborhood (besides the fact the residents of said neighborhood got outside the hood and destroyed other places) You hardly heard or saw anything other than NO....why...because the IDIOTS didn't/wouldn't leave...who's to blame....the fools that stayed and cause even further destruction to a city way beyond that of flood waters...and yes, there were plenty of them....so yes, many are to blame.

Well, getting back to the market debacle, I'm beginning to think someone wants me to retire broke.  Who do I blame?   Doolittle bomb the wrong country?  Naw, that's not it.  Let's see, corporate downsizing cost me job of 32 yrs when Clinton was POTUS.  Hmm Dem.   Now I'm losing my retirement money and Obama POTUS.  Hmmm Dem.  I don't think then there Dems like me!

Hope they don't take it out on you guys by association.

Which corporation downsized during the Clinton years?  They were good years for businesses.  You might have a me problem.

No, not a me problem.  And I wasn't the only one. About 35 to 40 along the Gulf Coast.  Stk was at $35 when they took over the plants. After two years it Got down to $7.  Cest la vie. 

Perhaps you are a Democrat and wanted to take a cheap shot at someone who had his life turned upside down to bolster your political beliefs?  Is that the case?   

IF that's the case, you have a lot more me problem than I have.  Matter of fact, I got hired by a very large company at 55 yrs old, so no, no me problem here.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
