I used to feel the same, but it kinda got boring after the first year.

Re: US Debt clock

Year...? When did I miss this party?

Re: US Debt clock

you mean it hasn't been at least year of you and Felix sparring with words? Seemed like it to me, but then, I've never been good at keeping track of time over the long term.

LOL no. Simple logic my friend, Obama hasn't been president a year - before that, Felix was a happy little sniper. Now, there was a period where he'd make 2-3 posts every day so it may have indeed seemed like a year but since Current Events was nuked I think he's been bloggin or something. I've rested until now but I think he missed me :D.

Add to that the government take-over of civilian industry and nobody can stand in our way!

LOL Yep, pretty bad. I hear the hit to our economy letting them GM simply fail would have cost us alot more and the goverment spokespeople have been persistent in explaining taxpayer ownership as short-term. These facts are enough to sway me to be patient and optimistic. After all the money is already spent. Also, I am (or was) a loyal Chevy customer so color me biased in wanting a great comeback.

Re: US Debt clock

Felix that was very naughty of you, and if you do not behave, you will not get the nice present I got you for your birthday (Unique Alpine TPG-1 ) :)

Miss? Hardly! That is what is known as "Target, cease fire"! Or, on a forum like this, silence!

I always behave, I always give compliments, however, some people take compliments and misconstrue them into insults, insecurity I suppose!

Now about that present. GM is headed to bankruptcy protection Monday, their stock closed at $.075 a share today. However since they used federal funds to pad their failure, they will be held accountable to the government for their future. That means a higher level of initial risk, but a long slow return over time.

I bought 10K shares of Ford at $.84 a share, thou that is different due to not using federal funds to pad their losses and wasting trillions of tax payer dollars, they chose to lose their own capital and shareholders monies instead. That means on the recovery and future they do not have to answer to the government. They closed at $5.75 a share today.

Re: US Debt clock

Hmm, I 'm surprised they're down a little from your last update of $6.26. Still good though.

I just heard this morning that a Canadian company is making a bid for the European division of GM.
