Legion, One of the great things that Nixon did was to open China. That is true. Regarding segregation, it is important to know that the way he won in ’68 was that he signed a pact with the devil — there was an agreement with Strom Thurmond who would break ranks with to get him the Republican nomination IF he did all in his power to block implementation of Civil Rights legislation, which he did. Regarding Vietnam and the landslide in 72, wow. Nixon believed that we could not win the war in Vietnam. Then WHY did he escalate the war and bomb the s**t out of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, losing scores of American (and Vietnamese) lives for nothing. He wanted to give the appearance of strength to the country. He was doing everything in his power to thwart the Paris peace talks before the election so he could bomb away, appearing strong so that he could win the election.
No question the guy was smart, but he was a nut and he was very destructive.
CGar, I nearly posted URL for Noki on a massive PS house she would like. That would’ve cost me the duplex rental – ie as I saw you don’t approve of her buying in PS
You think Amgen is an obscure company? There is just no way you could possibly work in finance and make that statement.
The QLD trade will happen the week of May 17, if it happens at all. Although it is still setting up perfectly, just as I told you this morning. Obviously, a lot will happen between now and then, and that will affect strategy selection. The QLD gamma trade, if it happens, will be a gamble, using knowledge of options probability to tilt the odds in my favor.
By the way, you may think my Amgen trade was Asinine, but I am making money. Check time and sales. Living well is the best revenge.
Nixon got us out of Vietnam?????? Excuse me, we were still in Vietnam until 1975. Nixon expanded the war into Cambodia. Jeeezzzzzzz. Public opinion (Remember Yippies??) is what started getting us out- pressure on Nixon but damn!

Not for lack of leadership ability.”

“What does everybody think about Cynthia Nixon?”
Not my type. Plus there are other lesbians I like far more.
