Sep 09 2009

Slow climb continues, and as it's often the case in this type of the market, we are having profitable but somewhat boring days. Among all the usuals like HIG, AXL, GE etc, one momo trader was VVUS. I wanted to say "exciting" but one has to be careful speaking of this particular name.

[11:55] {Threei} dems won't risk pushing through full blown plan with public option without republicans support

[11:55] {larisa} Social sec, medicare were passed without republicans in the past.

[11:56] {Threei} hey... we are not arguing... we are betting :)

[11:56] {dino} i'm afraid it's a tax issue es. govt already broke on medicare, medicaid, and soon social security

[11:56] {ese} hmmmmmmm

[11:57] {dino} weell 3i, they will get one orvtwo republicans, imo

[11:57] {dino} but sure bet on

[11:57] {Threei} with public option - no way

[11:57] {Threei} the only way something gets done is heavy compromise

[11:57] {Threei} on bnoth sides

[11:57] {Threei} and public option will be first vicitm

[12:02] {Threei} yup... old political game... buy votes by redistribution,

[12:02] {Threei} build your base by giving out to many what you take from few

[12:02] {Threei} few will be irritated but their votes are few

[12:02] {dino} rcl hl s .52 last try

[12:02] {Threei} many will get little but will vote en masse

[12:04] {dino} thats why he spoke to the school kids about responsibility and education, they will need it to pay off these debts he is creating, lol
