Up 300, down 350, up 275, down 380! This is absolute madness.
Look, the crew here at AmeriGobble is feeling a bit queasy from all the market volatility lately. Our nerves are shot!
Does anybody really know what is going on? Things can not really change overnight can they? One day everybody is in a buying frenzy and the next day there is a freefall. Does anybody buy to hold any more? You know, buy some shares of a company you like and are a customer of. A company you want to be a part of for a long time.
The market these days has become machine driven with million share transactions happening in milli-seconds. The personal aspects of owning shares in a company are gone. And with it the Joe-six pack investor who no longer trusts Wall Street. Or at least soon.
Why would any sane Gobbler take the risk! Wall Street has gotten away from the basic fundamentals that Joe-six pack understands. That’s right, companies that provide a valuable product or service for society resulting in a profit are good. That is all that really matters, and that is what this Joe-six pack investor understands and is going to continue to believe.
Well Sir, the taxes talk has reached a fever Gobble around the country and here at AmeriGobble. With all the debt, deficits and endless red-ink bleeding us all dry, we are finally being confronted with the task having to pay it all back as a country.
So far there has been a lot of Gobbling going on in Washington, with no solutions. The current theory seems to be either tax the rich or cut spending, or both. Pretty simple, right? Not with 14+ Trillion dollars of debt.
So now the battle in Washington has become the “Job Creators” vs. the non-job creators. Us vs. them. Them vs. us. The only problem with this is we currently have historically low tax rates and have for some time, but the “Job Creators” still have not created jobs.
All I know is that every American owes some part of that debt and part of the future debt, and we ought to get something done about it soon. We all need to pay it off and get out of debt. Create a surplus, invest in the infrastructure without debt, create value for all citizens, and realistically be able to lower taxes for all and continue America’s leadership role in the world.
The us vs. them just is not going to get it done. The rich need to realize that many of those trillions are in their pockets so a little sacrifice would be nice. And for the people that pay nothing, well, everyone needs to contribute something. That’s what made America Great in the first place. We each need to create a value at an individual level and we will all be prosperous and happy Americans. Is it class warfare to ask for some sacrifice from all? No, it just make good sense.
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble!
What a great week of football, and next week should be even better. The local gobblers here at AmeriGobble have been going crazy about the parity that the NFL offers. Every year there is hope for every team.
How about Detroit! Nice start. Yessss Sir! And Buffalo, well nice game from the crew here at AmeriGobble! Don’t forget the Raiders either! And what about San Francisco. Not pretty, but 2-1 right now looks good.
This looks like a great season unfolding before our eyes! Of course it is early, but we’re looking to gobble for the under-turkey, so to speak. Give us a Gobble and let us know who you think is going to be the pleasant surprise of the season.
We are scratching our heads over here at AmeriGobble over the Federal Governments decision to lend another billion dollars to the solar industry for projects in Nevada and Arizona so soon after the Solyndra fiasco has come to light.
Wouldn’t it have sent a better message just to have saved the money? Just because you have money doesn’t mean you have to spend it, whether the program is ending our not. We sure hope somebody did the due diligence in vetting these loans.
One thing is for sure, these projects will be watched closely by the country and their outcomes will certainly have ramifications on the next elections. What do you think about this move? Has it left you bewildered like it has us here at AmeriGobble? You’ve got be kidding me, right?
The crew here at AmeriGobble headquarters had a revelation today, or should we say a prolonged and vigorous gobbling session, regarding the announcement of Vladimir Putin’s candidacy for President of Russia. Again!
As we were discussing this week’s edition of Crazy or Crazy like a Fox, it dawned on us that Putin has the global field beat hands down when it comes to parlaying crazy with a crazy like a fox acumen! After all, who else on the planet has the kind of power that Putin does over an entire country and its political process? Is there even any doubt that he will win the Presidential election in a landside and rule Russia for 12 more years!
Imagine trying to debate with Putin for the Presidency of Russia. Now that would be something to see. Would anybody disagree or challenge him? We think not! Maybe good old ex VP of the USA, tough guy and AmeriGobble certified Crazy or Crazy like a Fox perennial Dick Cheney would have the nerve, but would anybody else?
Putin is a fascinating person and we look forward to many more years of Gobbling about him here at AmeriGobble, and that is the kind of Crazy that we like.
