The CEOS are cashing in their stocks at a rate not seen since 2007! They're NOT investing their tax savings in their companies and workers won't be celebrating with joy come next Monday. 
So much for the "real" economy...

I suppose you consider that a SOURCE because it is on CNN and agrees with you? I get it smile

Have I got something for Greg: Developed by Israeli arms industries and successfully tested by the US Airforce last week:
The SMASH 2000 sighting device attaches to a weapon and has built-in targeting algorithms that can track and accurately hit targets, including moving and aerial ones, at ranges of up to 120 meters, with the first shot.
With the system, the user selects and locks onto the target. As soon as the trigger is squeezed, the system calculates the target’s movement and predicts its next location using advanced image processing and algorithms. SMASH 2000 prevents the bullet from being fired until the target is precisely in its cross hairs.

With this, even Greg can hit something!

You guys need to do a lot less shooting and a whole lot more observing. And that means looking thru scopes and that's telescopes and NOT riflescopes(Greg).  For instance, last night I was up at Mt Pinos observing with Don Pensack whom I see up there from time to time. Great night with good views. Don's a nice guy, visit his website:

I would be willing to bet I spend more time under the stars than you Rod.......rarely does a week go by I am not fumbling around in the dark and more often than not at least 2 or 3 times a week. Though the weather occasionally keeps me in the shop piddling with something to do with either scopes, guns or motorcycles smile
