You need to put your trust in the government and buy savings bonds hahahahahahaha.

Oh and btw you cannot lose more by selling than you have already lost, all youi can do is lock in your losses. Don't they have economics classes at that graduate school?
I'm an engineer, not an economist. And you're wrong about how I can't lose more than I've already lost. If you pull out a CD early, you lose money, for instance. I'm not sure the details, and I will be the first to tell you I'm no Warren Buffet, (who supports raising the tax on capital gains by the way) but I know that if I pull out all my money at once, I'm boned.

As opposed to the vision that most liberals have, that America is evil, certain groups of people just aren't capable of doing well without the help of big brother ect., that Americans aren't able to make decisions for themselves and need to be micromanaged. That anyone that has money is evil and is the reason that everyone else doesn't have money, (you know class warfare). You know, the liberal mantra. I am sure you feel like your "ideas" are very mainstream, likely because you surround yourself with limp wristed libs, this may explain why you don't think you are liberal, because in your eyes your not, you are just like everyone else on campus. LMFAO!
Like I said, after you actually have some real life exp, you should come back and read some of the things you are saying now. Careful you may throw up a lil' in your mouth! I would love to know if you change your mind on taking the money people earn once you are actually earning money.
Well, you assume that Obama is very "liberal" and then ascribe all this nonsense to "liberals" and therefore Obama. I worked for two years after I got my undergraduate degree, and I just showed up on campus for the first time yesterday, so this BS about "surrounding myself with liberals on campus" is just that. My grandpa's been a Democrat his whole life, and he's 82. My dad has only ever voted for third-party candidates in the time I've known him, but he supports Obama. I have at least three uncles who each make over $150,000 a year, who all support Obama. Billionaires George Soros and Warren Buffet support Obama. So I don't see where you get off saying that no one with real-life experience could possibly support the guy.
