I was also serious about A-Rod. He’s too much drama, and too much of a distraction in New York. He needs a fresh start in a new town.
Maybe he just needs another 'shot in the arm' - pun intendedI was also serious about A-Rod. He’s too much drama, and too much of a distraction in New York. He needs a fresh start in a new town.
I think it’s a decent analysis. As far as the market goes it will probably turn down again and then back up. Who cares what the next 12 months hold because assets are on sale at deep discount prices. Buy low, hold on and reap the rewards!
And suddenly, the Dodgers are in need of a right-handed stick in the 4 hole. Hmmmmmm…
Advisors who sell Doom and Gloom this year may look smart in the short term. Advisors who are building their business on short term market predictions will look like goons in the future.
I don’t disagree with you, but nearly every single big-time revenue producer at wirehouses ($1.5 million and up) that i’ve seen make their livings off selling whatever the current theme is. This year? Doom and Gloom and munis and “lighten up on your allocation”…even though it’s normally the wrong thing to do. I can hear many of my co-workers the past few years touting international, oil and gas, etc…
just a thought…
It is always easier to sell people what they want instead of what they need. In that scenario who is advising who ?

Good luck with that
I agree Chazzy. You only look smart selling Doom and Gloom before sh*t hits the fan. After the fact doesn’t make much sense. That is what CNBC is for.

A Prediction Thread? Now that's right up ol' Soothsayer's alley:
leads the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory. [/quote] Am I the only one here still laughing about this one???please dont tell me you are a Cowboys fanFor the record, I am not an Eagles fan. Just think 2009 is their year.
I am Cowboy fan, living and working in Eagle country, makes things interestig during footbal season.
please dont tell me you are a Cowboys fan[/quote] Not by a longshot. I still think Machlin was the steal of the draft. We'll see.[quote=Soothsayer]For the record, I am not an Eagles fan. Just think 2009 is their year.
Maclin may end up being a good return man, but as a legit WR I have serious doubts. All he ran at Missouri were slip screens and reverses. Guys like him don't make it in the NFL as receivers (Peter Warrick, Desmond Howard, Raghib Ismail). I actually think DeSean Jackson isn't that good either. I wouldn't be surprised if his first year ends up being his best. // Although I may be unfairly judging the Eagles, I am still bitter they knocked out the Bears after the 2001 season !
Ugh, a Bears fan. Let me tell you how your season is going to go. Hand off to Forte, 1 yd gain. Pass to Forte in the flat, 3 yd gain. Pass to Olson, 5 yd gain. Punt. Rinse and repeat. Occasional incomplete bomb to Hester thrown in.
