How does losing money compare with losing your health, your ability tomove? - and I am talking here about people in their early fifties.....
exactly! there must've been something underlying to trigger suicide...so many people lose everything and start all over...as long as you are healthy...

it's was not about bailing out banks, it was about if stimulus has been helpful to the economy, and obviously it has not...
honestly, do you think, maybe suspending income or corporate taxes for a year would've been more useful to revive the economy?

there is nothing obvious about the economy..
i ( and thousands of guys much smarter then me ) look at numbers all day long to figure things out.. and if any of them is right 55% of the time ( and wrong 45%) it's a huge accomplishment.

sad stories about people's health have to do with perspective.
When you have your health, you can go nuts or be calm about money.
But when you really don't have your health, no amount of money matters.
And it is very difficult to understand while you have your health.

What's going on with those anti-religious conservative Wall-Street crooks today, like that Raj the hedge fund guy, screwing up so many people and giving capitalism a bad name? :-|

he-he...that's what you tell your clients when they ask where their money are?......:-)

nice try, but i don't manage anyone's money.. just my own :)
say hello to your friend Bernie, he used to hang at the 5th avenue synagogue..

Bernie is as much my friend as Obama is..:-)
which synagogue? reformed?...should I say more?....:-)

just have to say I get such a kick from reading those exchanges!:-D :-D :-D :-D

they are Orthodox, but hey.. i guess if they are not a part of the special subgroup of the subreligion that you are a part of they are not moral enough :)
