Recent poll results have been released. On a scale of one to ten with ten being best, people rated George Bush's sex appeal as two.
I believe the mare Prince Charles married has more sex appeal. Fitting couple, though, with Charles having the ears of a mule and being about as bright.
"I am not concerned with having sex with George W Bush."
I would think not! The man has zero sex appeal.
Market capitulation? Doesn't matter because the markets are being slaughtered and the markets are far from bottoming out. Next week should be just as bad.
This is just the beginning of consumer reaction to the mess politicians have made of the world.

I'm not lying! George Bush has no sex appeal.
Well, yeah, the DOW is down 200 points as I type this. Those stringless yo-yo heads out there are finally beginning to realize our economy is hard crashing. What we are seeing is just the bare beginning of a "snow ball" effect. When rising energy costs begin moving through sectors, when fuel surcharges begin to show where they do not already, when people can barely afford food, that is when the market snow ball will hit bottom.
I could have told you we are in for more than just recession by driving on Southern California roads and freeways. Even the five o'clock rush hour is now rather nice. There are so many less cars on the roads, it is spooky. I mean you can actually drive at twenty-five miles per hour on freeways!
Why is that? Because ordinary salt-of-the-earth people can barely afford to feed their familes, much less afford to drive to work.
Are you aware, despite Bush's "great tax cuts" ordinary people are now paying more in taxes than they did previously?
These are bad times and _all_ politicians are to blame, here and abroad.

I am not quite sure what to make of all this, Dust.
It would be nice if investors would cool off over the weekend. However, headline news everywhere is stock market performance over the last three days.
Lot of doom and gloom being promulgated by the bleached blond bubble heads on television.
Our world is suffering circumstances which have not been found in combination previously in history. This is a new one, for all.
Terrorist attacks, two active major wars, energy costs beyond means, taxes up with relative wages down, and historical highs for lost jobs.
Yet Americans voted for the political party which has only worsened those conditions.
Dustoff, I don't think we will see relief this coming Monday because the talking heads on the news are blasting the brains of all with words of doom and gloom.
This could go beyond recession and become a minor depression.
Who knows? These unique circumstances have never before been found confronting our world.
Worst of all, there is a damn baseball game on instead of Star Trek Enterprise. Jeesshh...
In the stock market, capitulation is associated with "giving up" any previous gains in stock price as investors sell equities in an effort to get out of the market and into less risky investments. True capitulation involves extremely high volume and sharp declines. It usually is indicated by panic selling.
After capitulation selling, it is thought that there are great bargains to be had. The belief is that everyone who wants to get out of a stock, for any reason (including forced selling due to margin calls), has sold. The price should then, theoretically, reverse or bounce off the lows. In other words, some investors believe that true capitulation is the sign of a bottom

"The belief is that everyone who wants to get out of a stock, for any reason (including forced selling due to margin calls), has sold. The price should then, theoretically, reverse or bounce off the lows."
Contraindication theory, AAII index. That actually works, Keith. There are some articles on this at the Silicon Board.
For readers, AAII and contraindication is a trading method under which investors (traders) do precisely the opposite of what investors' sentiment indicates.
For example, the AAII index now roughly shows bulls are at sixteen percent. These means most are either neutral or bearish for a market opinion. This means the concensus is bearish. Contraindication then indicates it is time to buy stocks, which is what Keith is writing, indirectly.
If this theory holds, we should discover a market recovery sometime in the next ten days, presumably some recovery hints appearing next week.
However, we have odd circumstances. Two wars which are costing hundreds of billions of dollars, a president bent on hundreds of trillions of dollars in deficit spending, a president creating a historic trade imbalance, and record high energy costs.
I am not so sure the markets have finished crashing, nor am I sure there will be any recovery within the next three to five years.

True Purl, I've bet money on a solid rebound, I am expecting a decent rebound, then a retest of these lows. I will hold my long (my feeling is i have a better price now and premium) only time will tell, I will also begin to short 2 or 3 days into the bounce.
This is the lowest or worse close since March 2003. That triggered a nice buy in time, will we repeat?
Also, on down days volume has been high obviously bearish market, (i played countertrend a bit too often and was bit myself, but i knew i put my money in the bears mouth) Friday saw HUGE volume,(meaning finally bear market will come out in headlines on the times, and even my grandma thinks were in a bear) to me that is another sign of a turn.
Hopefully I'm right.

Keithsan, the press will try and scare the hell out of everybody about an impending market crash..The political hacks will come out of the wood work for a few days....And then we will be back to Madona or what ever, sport scandals, car chases and the murder of the week....
The men and women who are protecting all of this will hardly be mentioned..

there are a hell of alot more people responsible for this than him thats for damn sure
accounting scandals, missed projections , over hyped stocks(apple,google,yahoo,etc,etc,etc), drug companies with harmful drugs
it all contributed to this, GW has done little or help nor prevent it from happening
not that i have to say it but im not a bush fan i think his dad was a piss poor president i think hes a piss poor president but you can NOT blame either of them for every thing that is wrong with the world it just doesnt work that way
until the markets get a real regulatory body with real power to take people over thier knee who break the laws then the huge companies will continue to break the laws and pay the $25,000(LOL) fines every time they get caught
this is far deeper than bush being a bad president i think you should try to make at least one post without a its bush's fualt in it somewhere
that is all i have to say

whoever is president? i will openly critisize their faults, as long as we are still America...IMO? that's what keeps us great....
once we can't? well,i don't want to think about that....
Bush has not spent like a conservative...(IMO? he's not a true conservative)

jason10, I served in Viet Nam from 1971-1972...The war was winding down, but we still dealt with our fair share of chit..
I know first hand what it does to people when they jump on a jet and come home from war to this kind of hatred after what we the troops just went thru..
I support and respect the title of Commander in chief during a time of war..

OK, i can respect that....
i still feel that America's greates strength is our freedom of speech, i do believe there are limits... i don't think PG has passed them myself...
i don't hear her calling for some of the insane things the far left has calleed for...
we have a commitment to Iraq now, and to our troops...the troops are defending our right to free speech, AND free speech is something the troops don't enjoy while they are protecting OURS.....
i also think the troops returning from Nam were poorly treated by the populace, AND the VA system...
