I actually have a friend who is an analyist for a big firm; Merril somebody? Anyhow, it is scary when you realize that these guys are just like your everyday guy who just gathers data about one particular subject and then does his best forecasting (rolling bones, educated guess and etc..) to make their REQUIRED reports. We laugh everytime we get together and talk over beers. Ne is a very smart guy but not a God. Most here on this post would qualify for his position.

I was wondering just how long before this would turn into a Bush bashing?

Maybe because of where you’re based your brain has been severely Sewark polluted? Not sure, however you’re based close enough to Canada – you can always go over there and surrender, it’s never too late for a leftie to surrender…

Same with refineries, oil exploration, etc. etc. Talk, talk, *****, whine, lie and then blame the high oil prices on “oil-friendly” administration. Oh, don’t forget to blame every terrorist attack in the world on America – because we are the reason to all evil on Earth.

I miss those times too - which is why I miss the person behind the great economy of the late 90s - Ronald Reagan...

I'm sure your friend is a great guy and works hard at what he does, but your right. Most analysts tow the company line because they depend on management for inside information-for their REQUIRED reports. Mr Baker has made at least a dozen wrong calls on AMR stock in the past 5 years. The fact that he states APA has higher wage rates than competitors is only correct in 2 or 3 cases: UAL and DAL most notably. SWA's wage rate is higher than AAL's total compensation (pay and pension). Funny he doesn't mention that. BTW, JP Morgan, of whom Mr. Baker is employed by, also happens to manage AMR's retirement services (401k) and AMR's employee stock option plan.

that always makes me laugh when reagan is given credit for things that happened 4-12 years after the fact. can you verify/answer this for me. How much debt did reagan accumulate during his trickle down economics vs. the 39 previous presidents. last I heard it was more than all 39 combined.

Reagan was the first to borrow (using term very loosely) from Social Security. Bush Sr the 2nd and he put an "IOU" in the 500 millions place. Bush W the 3rd to take money (800 million) if I remember correctly.

AV8OR think B4 you transmit. Please.
I'm not a leftie, and I do fondly remember Reagan, but not the way you apparently do.
Now go listen to Rush Limbaugh.

He also ended the Cold War and brought democracy to Eastern Europe. It's an economic fact that policy changes don't show results overnight. The dot-com bubble that burst was formed on Clinton's watch. Bush was in the white house about 60 days when that began so you probably blame it on him.

How do we manage to get so far from the orginal point in these theads? No wonder we can't negotiate respectable contracts. FOCUS
