Indeed. I used to work with a guy who 'played' the market - not a day trader, he was trying to build a nest egg for when he retired (which was quite a big egg when he did retire). One thing he would frequently do is, when there was a dip in the market, he would invest more money in certain stocks

I don't recall you having this same attitude when the midterms in Bush's second term went the same way, but for the democrats. Or when president Obama was elected...twice. Or, is it only 'the will of the people' when Republicans win? On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 11:38 AM, Sam wrote: > > Yes, and the
