The economy doesn't seem to be doing well, but I am doing just fine, all those investments in oil futures way back when have really paid off. I intend to survived this bottom out just like I survived the dotcom bottom out some time ago. The trick to this is to always look for a way to pass the expense on to someone else.  90%  of people have no idea how the world works, and we of the other 10% keep changing the rules without tellling them what game we're playing this week. Its actually quite amusing.

This bank bail out will be no different. Although I must say that I am some what piqued at the idea of people being in some way "rewarded" or "pardoned" for thier incompetence. I always believed this country should be run like a company and its good to be able to say "I told  you so".
