if optimism was a stock, it would be falling.

barack losing, even though only by 2%.
edwards down to 17%.
this already pessimistic and cynical younger generation will feel disfranchised. if hope, and change was a stock; i'd sell.

if business as usual was a stock, jim cramer of mad money would be yelling; buy, buy, buy. then there would be some wacky sound effect.

nothing will ever be good again, spring won't come, it'll be winter for the next 8 years. all puppies in the world will die. and that mole on my lower back will continue to grow.

4. Falling stocks are an opportunity... or so I've heard.

you reap the most rewards when they go back up.

It's the long haul, not day trading.

Keep your head up :)
