Angel,
"As a result, Obama has brought in more money from employees of banks, hedge funds and other financial service companies than all of the GOP candidates combined, according to a Washington Post analysis of contribution data." (One could argue that WP now has conservative side, but that doesn't mean these facts are incorrect.)
And according to the same article Bain Capital employees gave Romney $34,000 and Obama $76,000. WTF?
My earlier point: The war is between Labor and Finance, and the problem I have with Democrats, (and I am not a Republican, nor conservative) is that they have their hands securely in the pockets of both! Until we frame the arguement correctly and take off partisan rose colored glasses, we will scream at each other until we are exhausted and the real issues will remain out of focus. I have been reading Phil since 2008. I can't claim a trading history as long as yours, but certainly an investing history that much and longer. I too gain a subtle edge from Phil's intelect and view. I respect others perspectives, but if ideas cannot compete on their own merits, and must be defended by attacking the person behind the idea, I know for sure that there is a problem at the core of the arguement. I do enjoy your often subtle and entertaining comments.
