  This year we saw the market get knee-capped and the middle class get wiped-out. We saw the end of I-banking, Congress act like a bunch of monkeys (vote not-incumbent) and an endless steam of bailouts and we didn’t even get a T-shirt out of the deal. All we got was a bunch of stupid YouTube videos like the 12 days of bailouts or a jacked up AIG song. At least some of the bailout songs are pretty good.

  
  

  Anyway, happy new year everybody!

  Happy New Year to all of our AFB members and visitors.

  May 2009 see the bottom of the market so that we can start getting rich in 2010. :-D

  When I was fifty five
  It was a pretty bad year
  a pretty bad year
  for stocks that tank  
  the market stank
  I developed hives
  When I was fifty five

  dah dah dah dah
  dah dah dah daddah dah
  dah dah dah dah

  But now I?m fifty six
  I?ll learn to shrug it off
  And I won?t calculate the should have beens
  the lack of wins
  Still love the Twins
  Spring will soon be here
  They?ll try again this year!

  HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE MINNE-APPLE
