wabi . . .I agree with him too except for the first couple of lines in that last paragraph. I'd like to know why he wants to help those folks that can't help themselves. If you do something stupid and there's no punishment, then will it deter you from doing another stupid act? We can't bailout Wall Street or Main Street. It's bad enough that we give people the bankruptcy option that allows them to repeatly walk away from their debts.

DrDan . . that fat doe will be in your freezer before a bailout is approved. Did you see Newt on Fox News tonight? He's got a plan that would allow the market to recover on it's own. Also, Goldman Sacks owns Congress . . .what's with that? Anybody that is associated with Goldman needs to be fired immediately.

This is a Really good time to look at some Bluechip stocks that pay dividends

Some are really CHEAP and are paying 10% due to the drop in there prices

Dick . . .good strategy, don't just look at dividend alone. Utilities and telephone are good bets. I have a large portion of my portfolio in phone company stock. People will give up their spouse before they give up their phone. There is a lot of reported telecommuting here in Atlanta since the gas shortage started. If they are staying at home more, then their utility bills should be higher and they are using their phones more.
