Armaggedon

Take a deep breath folks. Its gonna be a bumpy ride! I am totally at a lost as to what to fund, buy, sell or recommend? There has got to be some manipulation going on.

I could get a little radical and try to build a pop culture type theme portfolio like the Sopranos portfolio , the Donald Trump portfolio - "your fired", or the Obama vs. Dick Cheney portfolio - a long/ short portfolio of course, with lots of defense stocks on the Cheney side of the portfolio. How about a Weapons of Mass Destruction portfolio - that would be a derivatives based portfolio with lots of CMOs'- sub-prime mortgages in the mix. Heh-heh-heh! We could really get creative and produce some wonderful stuff, but I don't know if they would make any money.
