Jara,
I, too, respect your right to express your views. Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Yep...can't argue politics...

Right on stormchaser. u hit the button on the nose. yes i see a business management or economist in the near future.

I don't think Clinton inherited a booming economy, to say the least. And, our economy is in bad shape now, for sure. Look at all the stock market losses.

Let me dispute this with some hard cold facts!

My personal 401K performance is as follows:


Month ending 9/30/2003: -3.09%
Quater to date: 9.02%
Year to date: 23.67%
Since 7/1/2002 (annualized): 4.52%

Now....as you can see..the Stock Market is doing just fine. Of special note here is my performance since inception (4.52%), since this includes several consecutive months of negative gains. My only "saving" grace is that I wasn't in the plan in 2001 when the market was in a tailspin post Clinton, not to mention 911.

2003 has been a great year for Stocks...I don't know how you can possibly dispute that!

A little more info to back up my claims:

I have changed my contributions to 80% for the Small Cap Growth Fund, and 20% for the Large Cap Growth Fund.

Year to date, Sm Cap Growth is @ 31.61%, and a booming Annualized 1 Year return of 36.31%.

Year to date, Lg Cap Growth is @ 25.74%, and Annualized 1 year return of 34.93%.

What I won't waste my time showing you is the performance of these funds in the latter years of the Clinton Administration and the early Bush inherited economy years. And....of course there is 911. There was NO 911 for the Bill Clinton's economy to worry about.

[Lindaloo]

There is no argument with those figures j.

[TexasStooge]

Uh, no comment...

That's what I'd say.

as long as there is a captive audiaence for the doom and gloom philosophy..let me share this with you..just off the wire from the AP:

WASHINGTON — The economy grew at a scorching 7.2 percent annual rate in the third quarter in the strongest pace in nearly two decades. Consumers spent with abandon and businesses ramped up investment, compelling new evidence of an economic resurgence.

Thank you J.

[sunnyday]

My absolute last comment on this J, you are so right. There was no 911 under Clinton.

[Lindaloo]

You missed his point sunnyday. No, there was not a 9/11, but the economy was on the boom until 9/11. There was no 9/11 under Clinton so people could really see who got the economy on it's feet by the previous Bush administration while Clinton reaped the benefits.

[sunnyday]

I didn't miss the point. Read my post again.

[Lindaloo]

My reply made sense didn't it? lol.

[j]

since you agreed with me, yes it made sense to me

[Lindaloo]

since you agreed with me, yes it made sense to me
