Just prior to the election, when it was apparent that the left would be the winner, I sincerely thought about investing in some stocks. Something I've never done. My thoughts were that we'd see the gun buying frenzy that took place. I looked at three stocks for several days. Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Olin Corp. But never had the good sense or guts to pull the trigger. The result?
Smith and Wesson 1.67 prior to the election peaked at 7.52 in mid summer.
Ruger 4.36 prior to the Obamanator peaked at 15.20 in mid summer
Olin 8.97 prior peaked at 19.79.
What in the hell was I thinking?  RD

umm u was thinking along the right lines and any fire arm related company seems to be the biggest winners in this depression ( odd that it took them forever to admit that there was one - heck they never admitted we was in a recession until it was in a depression ) and i suspect that u was still thinking that u dont buy stocks lolz and didnt want to lose ur uh huh either ...hindsight is usually great ( even when it bites lolz )

makes you wonder what their stocks will do when the War breaks out! supplying the government on one side and the patriots on the other! and winning no matter which side prevails!
