  1. anyone catch the list of state psychiatric workers getting paid like Cardiologists?

    it’s in the Daily News.

    In a nutshell, that is why NY has to elect Paladino.

    overtime for state workers is the biggest scam.
    private sector employees call it finishing your job,
    and they don’t expect triple overtime to do it.
    they expect to keep their job.

  2. is it too much for a politician to have an independent thought and have the balls to share it? F the party lines. F your re-election. Just make a decision – even if it’s wrong (no one expects you to bat 1.000)

  3. “So I’ll take it that you actually don’t know why Cuomo would better, bxgrl.

    Now I understand what benson is talking about.”

    No need to be shitty dave. But now I see why you like benson.

    I like Cuomo because I think he is tough minded and I think he is honest and blunt. He’s worked hard and I think he wold be good as governor. He’s not a loose cannon- which Pallidino is.

    Unlike you, I don’t blindly trust politicians just because they have money and big mouths.

  4. You really want to sell AFTER it starts happening?

    Absolutely. I think that a reactive approach to investing/trading is fine. Do all your research, fundamental, technical, create scenerios, analyze what you have and your goals but ultimately let the market tell you what to do, give you a clue. Until then, go with the flow.
    I watched our physical gold trader poo poo this gold rally all the way up to 880 and then he predicted a biblical collapse. He is not part of the cult but recognized the rally for what it is and when he realized the power of this market, he changed his mind and is on board. Sure we had some selloffs, but the market turned around and now, just go with it. PS, selling gold can take many forms obviously — you can sell what you own in terms of ETFs, physical gold. OR you can sell futures (this is what you absolutely DO NOT DO now) or buy puts or sell calls or do any number of option strategies using the futures markets. This is now a relatively low volatility rally but it is still a solid uptrend.

  5. Don’t be so sure about NYC electing Cuomo just because you may think that every stupid Democrat is going to vote the party line!!!!

    That line of thinking is how Giuliani & Bloomberg were elected.

    Besides, this election is bringing out people who don’t normally bother to vote and that will be especially true upstate now that they have a candidate from upstate!!! You have no idea how much the rest of the state HATES NYC , its residents and what it stands for!!!!!
