OT - Solely in the interest of humanity...

... and, of course, all my wooddorking buds hereabouts, I've come to the
decision (gallantly and altruistically if I may say so myself) to do ALL
ya'll a BIG favor:

Scientific analysis of some 40 + years of carefully gathered, personal
financial data suggests that _my_ investment in crude oil futures will
suffice to trigger an immediate and precipitous fall in oil prices, thereby
allowing a return to the more normal (and comforting) wRec discussions of
electrical and global warming issues, along with a reduced necessity on the
part of a proportionately more robust Chinese economy to engage in spam, to
the benefit of all.

AAMOF, I just called my broker, so wish me/us luck on all counts, and stay
tuned.

And above all remember that those who buy high and sell low, sacrifice for
_your_ salvation.

... you're welcome!

You must have gone to the same business school I did.

Thanks for the sacrifice!

Thank-you very much for your contribution to our financial well being! I
have a similar run with stocks; I've considered writing the CFO's of
corporations and telling them that for a small fee, I will *not* buy any of
their stock and enclosing a copy of my portfolio to back up my offer.

Thank you. I also have invested in oil products. Just today I bought
another $53 of the commodity and I'm storing it in a tank in my wife's car.

Three parties are also divisive. Smaller piece of the pie, but still
divisive.

Or 35 parties and the 5 biggest can't form a coalition gov't.

Thank you so much. I finally have an investment strategy. I can
short oil, go long on carbon credits and electrical components, and
start looking for opportunities in the Chinese stock market.

Your sacrifice is appreciated.

As do I . How about the group forms after the election and dissolves when
the president leaves office. And or there is the peoples party that is
never elected but always remains of equal power to the law makers. The
government hot shots can propose all the laws and changes that they want but
every thing has to be voted on by the people.
