MINT (ie: refreshing aspect supporting my realization)

So what do people buy during recession anyway? MINT mental note for future:

• Soup
• Pets & Pet Products
• Guns

I'm interested in seeing how K-mart does this season (Inexpensive cashmere, electronics, and layaway have my wheels turning). I'm getting some positive vibes, although I'd never put my money in a retail establishment right now. I should add K-mart to my TraderPlanet watchlist.

One of my favorite family members is a communist. However, he lives on a commune ( it makes sense to him). And he loves it- hell, I love it (the farm that is). I just also love happen to love Crest toothpaste *trying to imagine a world with only one brand of toothpaste that's not Crest* Scary.
MINT: Communists can be some awesome people.

I apologize for my last post. It was indeed a realization, however the refreshment aspect (the MINT) was highly lacking. The MINT I was trying to get across is that if the only difference in market performance between the presidential candidates is one quarter, I would much rather have a president who is respected by the world rather than one no one trusts. I like his words, his spirit and his enthusiasm. I like this (never before felt by me) pride in our president elect. I'm excited for the future of our country! There was honestly a point in my life, during the Clinton admin believe it or not, that I could not invision myself staying, living, in the United States past the age of 18- none the less being proud of the US! Sad but true.

Then I found out that Barak was raised in Hawai'i! Now there's a refreshing realization!! Everything is gonna be jus fine.

3-4 More Quarters?!

This morning I heard a market expert on CNBC. He believes that the recession and economic crisis is going to last "3 or 4 more quarters". This makes me wonder how much of an effect the election really has on the markets. Wouldn't the length of the crisis depend on who's elected? Or does that mean that in his eyes, the only real difference in the length of the recession between McCain's win and Obama's win would be one quarter?
