John McCain And Barack Obama!

The battle between John McCain and Barack Obama continues on. It seems like these two just love butting heads and putting the other one down. I feel I’m like most Americans, and really don’t like seeing our next president arguing with another candidate. It makes all of us here in America look like bad people to the rest of the world. John McCain and Barack Obama should mainly focus on what good they can do for the American people. Of course, the news media and other experts will analyze this debate and tell us all who won it. I personally feel the news media should stay out of it, and start giving their opinions. Anyway, there’s only 20 days till election and its still anyone’s game. May the best candidate win, whoever it may be.

Buying Banks!

It looks as the U.S. Government is getting ready to buy into a few banks. They will be starting with $250 billion of the $700 billion. They funds will be to purchase the banks stock, not loans. This means when the banks stock goes up, we Americans will make money. I vote sell once we make 25 percent, can I do that. And when will I get my check? Wait, it’s the U.S. Government, I’ll never see a check. They will down the road just ask for more money when these companies’s get in trouble again. Or save it when it comes time to bail out the auto industry, because they’re next. Anyway, I think this is the best chance at us making our money back. Another thing to remember here, if these banks fail, we loose, or will we. It’s the U.S. Government; they’ll just print more money until it becomes useless, like their doing for this bailout. Let’s hope for the best, and let’s hope for another big day on Wall Street.

New York Rangers!

I was just reading an online report about the New York Rangers prospect Alexei Cherepanov died during a game in Russia on Monday night. He died on the bench from a heart attack, he was 19 years old. This kid was in top shape. This is almost unbelievable for some this young and for being well fit. I also read that his teammate Jaromir Jagr had just finished a shift with in. They where sitting next to each other and talking when Alexei Cherepanov collapsed. And here’s something that I really don’t understand; there was no ambulance at the arena. And because there was no ambulance there it took 20 minutes to rush him to the hospital. I don’t know the whole story, but I wonder if this could be the main reason he died. I’m sure it might not have been the whole reason, but having an ambulance at any sporting event is always a must.

Buying Banks!

It looks as if the U.S. Government is getting into the banking business again. The U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Friday that they would be purchasing stock in financial institutions. This move is to free up cash and give these banks a good source of lending power. This is all part of the move of the $700 billion measure Congress passed last week. And this type of move isn’t the first time the U.S. Government has done this. The last time it was done was during the Great Depression. So know we all know how bad things are. Hopefully this will also stop the decline with the Dow, which has dropped 40 percent in a year. I would also like to add that if this doesn’t work I’m going to invest in energy pills, because this is what we’ll all be eating to stay alive. Like most Americans out there, we’ve all seen our money fly away in our 401k’s and stocks. Food and basic things will be hard for all of us to buy if we fall into another Great Depression. I will be hoping for the best, that this new plan works, once again.
