...... How are your investment portfolios looking this evening?
Oh, no, my investment portfolio!
I think I've really gotta do something about this water neck gasket before winter, if I can spare the few bucks and make my hands cooperate?
Gods forbid Wall Street might have a petulant dip in *stock* portfolios cause we didn't elect a climate denier who says I'm living too large to deserve an apartment, never mind a stock portfolio, cause obviously he was 'God-ordained' to call it 'values' that sweetie and I don't have a home or health care or a decent wage, both of which probably have *spent* about all of what we were calling our nest egg (and my fund to see a better doctor) before things finally got bad enough thanks to Dubya's policies.
Investment portfolio? I got a K20d and an old computer and a slightly-less-obsolete video card, both kindly sent to me by someone I haven't heard from since his *home* got flooded out.
Investment portfolio?
The Grinch that just couldn't let me as a citizen of Massachusetts feel like a full citizen for more than a few hours has not been elected to scapegoat me further and make it worse. Maybe one day, now, sweetie and I can be together again and *have* an investment folio that isn't forefeit the moment a straight person demands it of whoever survives.
The guy who wouldn't admit his economic plan because it was mathematically impossible didn't get elected and I give a *shite* about Wall Street returns today?
Boo-hoo for Wall Street?
Seriously, dude. They've been making money hand over fist. Still haven't seen fit to do much of anything for the *real* economy. Especially my *real* cash-on-the-barrelhead* one.
I'm too psyched that just maybe if I reach the point of having a savings account with something in it, never mind an 'investment portfolio,' I'll be a free citizen that *has* it. But I ain't picky. Still gotta raise a bit of scratch for an oil change. Or gas. Especially while it's gotten cheap again.
Seriously, dude. I'm afraid to order a few *checks* to pay the damn rent with cause that comes out of my 'investment portfolio.' Which is a 93 Volvo with 300000 miles on her.
When I was talking about equipment upgrades and a little house somewhere *Bush* cut our little nest egg in half. Like that. It wasn't much. And we didn't owe anyone a thin freaking *dime.* But what's left is an old car in the driveway. So I can get my prescriptions once in a while. Cause she's *still* cheaper than a Godsforsaken cab.
That's my freakin' investment portfolio. And *that's* falling apart for want of a nail, and a nail, and a nail. That's all I got to show for my last ten years. Seeing my *sweetie* through a PhD and her losing everything for want of... Health care. Us being married.
How *dare* you ask me to cry for Wall Street? They made a housing bubble. Held a gun to our economy's head to keep the rents and costs high while perfectly good homes and lives went to *rot* and you want me to cry for your ing *dividends?*
What, cause a man who thinks he's a Bishop of some God and capitalism that says it's our fault if Wall Street monkeys a number cause their greed is displeased today? ? He's spent thousands of dollars for every couple like me he demands to hurt and I'm gonna cry cause the rigch queerbasher didn't get elected to do it *again?*
No.
Not cryin.
Not for Wall Street. The waters of the Godsforsaken denial they spent billions on is swirling about their ankles and they don't care. Then they don't get a maniac elected, to do even worse and worse to me as promised. You wanna blame who for them what... Hurting people with stocks cause they don't like who got elected? Call that America? Is that what you're saying?
You really think I'm at the point of giving a shit?
Mr. Stockholder? Poor mr portfolio?
I mean. Dude. Romney's *church* has spent more per capita *hurting* me and all Americans like me than it would have *cost* ship us off to Lesbos with a house and pension. And I'm supposed to whine the Bishop with no plan but hurting me didn't get elected? And now Wall Street decides to say whatever their deal is will cost you? Today? Same bastards who spent more on climate denial than even *considering* what, building a freaking jetty or a generator or anything? "The private sector will take over once you're all declared wrthless sinners"
Yah. Right.
Oh. Guess what. No.
