If We Duers Had Half a Brain,

[change_notfinetuning]

we'd have pooled our money last year, and invested all of it in health insurance company stocks, cashed out in a few more weeks, and contributed the profits to worthy Democratic candidates in the midterms.

Then again, the way it looks, it's probably not too late.

1. If we had half a brain...

we'd be Palin supporters. I prefer the whole thing, thanks.

[ZombieHorde]

2. Ha! Good one. nt

[pipi_k]

3. Half a brain?

You're way too optimistic...

[YOY]

5. Try two brain cells.

And that's being generous.

[JHB]

6. Those are the Beckerheads

4. I divested my Global Health Funds 6 months ago

in protest of the HUGE lobbying money being handed out across Washington to derail HCR and I don't regret a thing

The Health funds were only producing 11% return at the time and "other funds" were producing 26% - They even Screw Over they'er investors

[no limit]

7. Yeah, now all we actually need is the money to invest.

[BP2]

8. The sick thing is that

insurance and pharmaceutical stocks did not start on their most recent uptick until after the
House passed their version of HCR, as the Senate started deliberations on their version, sometime
after September. Those stocks have been up ever since.

Guess we got played the fool, huh?

Yeah, ha ha. Thank you Senate for your support of the Progressive cause.

The Senate lied, Health Care Reform died.

9. cynical but true nonetheless

12. Just trying to live closer to the "real world". Maybe even inhabit it. I'm trading

that phony "pony" and real jackasses for FDR Democrats.

[Lost4words]

10. I dont know, I am watching Democracy Now in Haiti!

[Motown_Johnny]

11. If Cap & Trade is next then invest in coal mines

[change_notfinetuning]

13. Did that last fall, as soon as I read Cass Sunstein's book, "Nudge".

(What do we want? Clean Coal! When do we want it? Now!)

[rucky]

15. I'm going to have to rec this.

just because it's an idea I haven't seen before.

[BP2]

16. What's next - buy Electric Fence & Firearms stocks when Congress takes on Immigration Reform? SICK!

[Walk away]

17. I agree. It's a sad comment . nt

[change_notfinetuning]

18. Sad is seeing those stocks go up because they are going to take you for a ride

and you don't even care about your own welfare.

19. From Chicago, huh? It's like I'm telling a Chicago gambler to become a bookie.

Only what I am proposing, buying stock and donating the profits to benefit Americans - unlike the activities of Chicago bookies - is legal, can help others, and you won't find yourself buried alive in an Indiana cornfield. And if this health care bill is so good, and these companies are so interested in saving lives, then what's negative about buying stock in health insurers? Yet you are comparing them to manufacturers of things that kill, not save lives.

If you ask me for an apple, how will I know if you want an orange?
