Is it art or just some orange shower curtains in the park?...mother love and trucks..

February 22, 2004

Hello,

Is it art or just some orange shower curtains in the park? I think the jury is still out. Artist or grifter ,I think the jury is still out. Sorry this email was delayed but Paris Hilton’s T-Mobile Sidekick was hacked this weekend and my phone lines have simply been flooded with nonstop calls .The US has pulled it ambassador from Syria and Tehran and Damascus have made a non-aggression pact if this was 1939 you would think we were going to war. Meanwhile Jose Canseco’s tell all book suggest many major leaguers were juiced up like the stock market of the same era. Following the lead of the NBA, the SEC is now limiting the amount of drinking and profanity brokerage clients and Investment Representatives can use. Kofii Annan claims in a recent wall street journal editorial that even though the UN is the center of the oil for food scandal, a child sex slave scandal in the Congo, part and parcel to the genocide in Darfor, a sexual harassment scandal in New York involving top UN officials and $1.2 billion in cost over runs for the UN headquarters in Turtle bay the UN is still relevant in it mission, now there’s an optimist.

President Bush pursued his “charm” tour in Europe, and managed to dislocate 92 Lufthansa flights, stranding thousands of passengers, but all in all a good time and Foi gras was had by all. Give it to me straight you thought Slovakia was a Greek pastry, didn’t you? Did he build bridges or just let them eat cake? Yea that’s what I thought too da, da, da. The president criticized Russia’s recent moves to tyranny and Vladimir Puntin criticized the firing of 3 CBS executives, after all in Russia when you commit felonies they make you President.

Back home the market played like an old country song singing a tune of “mother love and trucks”. Mother being anything involving energy, love being anything involving chemicals and trucks anything involving transportation and of coarse Technology continues to stumble. The US Congress continues to debate weather it is better for them to keep stealing your money through the present “ponzi” inspired social security system and its fictitious social security “trust fund” or fess up admit the fraud and raise your taxes to pay for it. If you are interested in social security check out this sight http://www.daveramsey.com/etc/social_security/ . Speaking of retirement savings, there are many opportunities for the small investor to put away money for old age no reason to depend on social security. If you are a bit gun shy of the stock market there are many short term bond funds that offer fairly stable conservative long term returns .No ,they will not perform like an internet IPO in 1999,but they beat the meager returns offered by most bank money markets.
