Just wondering if this will be the fault of George Bush?

Someone will come up with a way to blame it on him.  Hell,  the deaths attributed to Hurricane Katrina was blamed on him.  Never mind the fact the incompetent mayor of NOLA,  let 100's of school buses flood when they could have been used for evacuations.  Just to easy to blame Bush.

bullets13 already confirmed my job title and the amount of assets I manage. Do we really need to go over this again?

Bullets13 is a great guy but he does not understand this business in depth.  The word "manage" can mean many different things.  From my perspective, unless you are personally calling the buy/sell Shots ( which you aren't) you are not "managing".  And, by the way, as much as you like to belittle mutual funds, when one aggregates all of the assets such as those of the S. Foundation, it essentially is a mutual fund with multi managers.

I agree! Plenty of blame to go around. Whereas Biloxi and Gulfport were near total destruction, N.O. was limited to nearly one neighborhood (besides the fact the residents of said neighborhood got outside the hood and destroyed other places) You hardly heard or saw anything other than NO....why...because the IDIOTS didn't/wouldn't leave...who's to blame....the fools that stayed and cause even further destruction to a city way beyond that of flood waters...and yes, there were plenty of them....so yes, many are to blame.

Well, getting back to the market debacle, I'm beginning to think someone wants me to retire broke.  Who do I blame?   Doolittle bomb the wrong country?  Naw, that's not it.  Let's see, corporate downsizing cost me job of 32 yrs when Clinton was POTUS.  Hmm Dem.   Now I'm losing my retirement money and Obama POTUS.  Hmmm Dem.  I don't think then there Dems like me!

Hope they don't take it out on you guys by association.

Which corporation downsized during the Clinton years?  They were good years for businesses.  You might have a me problem.

No, not a me problem.  And I wasn't the only one. About 35 to 40 along the Gulf Coast.  Stk was at $35 when they took over the plants. After two years it Got down to $7.  Cest la vie. 

Perhaps you are a Democrat and wanted to take a cheap shot at someone who had his life turned upside down to bolster your political beliefs?  Is that the case?   

IF that's the case, you have a lot more me problem than I have.  Matter of fact, I got hired by a very large company at 55 yrs old, so no, no me problem here.
