Well written ebear. I now see why you are President Plus on this hub.

Thanks. I was aiming for President-For-Life, but that spot was already taken.

You obviously see the bigger picture and I am happy that you were able to comment today. I agree with your thoughts and I support do this hub's mission, contrary to popular belief.

"Big Picture" is a bit of a misnomer really. Actually, the further you zoom out, the smaller the picture becomes. Once you get out past the orbit of Jupiter, you can hardly see it at all.

You see, I am not from a 'hedge fund'. I am not here to 'plant' anything. In fact, I am an investor like most of you. I was simply sharing a rumour that I heard, that is all.

I believe you. You just picked a bad time is all. Very tense around here right now. A lot of people underwater. I think you can tell who they are by the lack of humor in their comments.

Anyway, welcome aboard idcismoney, although I still say your bear is facing the wrong way!
