I like Mr. Bernecke's Analogy........

Your neighbor starts a fire because he smokes a cigarette in bed....
yes, he was wrong, but do you call the fire department or let the
entire neighborhood burn down?

( loosely quoted )....his point was well made....we are surrounded by
rhetoric, think positive, believe in good things and they will happen....
don't judge situations or people so harshly....believe all things happen
for good reason....and learn from them.

Why then....is all I hear is criticism.......of the people that are trying
to call the fire department....? give them a chance. Why is it if all
the talking heads KNOW BETTER, they are not doing anything?

because, they are making money shorting this market....and with the
uptick rule no longer in effect, No one is stopping them bury this market...
creating a worse picture than there is...........yes, people made mistakes
they are human....

We will all learn from this financial disaster. Let's put out the fire and
move forward, smarter and better for all this. If we stop criticizing and
fighting the solutions offered, and work with them....and each in our own
way helps our community recover from this mess. Okay we did not make
the fire, but do you want YOUR HOUSE to burn down too...?

Do you want to cut your nose off to spite your face?
This is the question you must ask yourself, when you listen to all the
rhetoric out there today......

Off soap box for today....I for one am happy to have heard clear facts
on this mess from Mr. Bernecke........thank you, MR. Bernecke!!!!!

Smiles to you,
