Investment advice from All Coulter


Do you know which special interest has given more money to the Obama and Clinton campaigns than any other?


If you guessed "trial lawyers" -- well, okay, that's too easy. But can you guess which special interest came in second?


- Labor unions? Nope.
- The Green Lobby? Nope.
- AARP? Wrong, again.
- NEA? Nyet.


Give up? Okay, here's the answer: Wall Street.


That's right. According to CNNMoney.com, Wall Street securities and investment firms have given over $35 million to Democratic candidates this election cycle.And the amount they've given to the Clinton and Obama campaigns is nearly five times the amount they've given to McCain.


If you've been wondering why the financial industry has been in meltdown -- and taking your 401(k) or investment portfolio down with it -- now you know.


Let's face it: The former frat boys who populate Wall Street today understand economics about as well as the pinko professors whose courses they snored through.


That's why betting their entire industry on "subprime" loans to people with no jobs and no collateral made sense to them -- and why betting the entire U.S. economy on the likes of Hillary and Obama makes sense to them now.
These jokers don't even know what's in their own self-interest, much less yours. Trusting them with your money is like trusting Bill Clinton to babysit your underage niece.


But I know someone you can trust to manage your investments -- or rather, to help you do it yourself, without paying a nickel in commissions to some Wall Street frat boy.

Bankers are different than investors. Also, the Federal Reserve is responsible for our devalued currency which is snowballing into a depression, not the President. What about McCain going to other countries to get illegal foreign contributions?

Wow!!! That's amazing, Tony!! Who'd had thunk? I got out of the market about a year ago and dumped everything into a fixed income fund.. At 5%... When the dow started getting squirley.. Don't think I'm getting back in till after the election either. Especially watching the market plumet... I keep thinking were near a bottom but based on this - Yahoo! Finance Charts , and yesterdays drop... Were still heading the wrong way.. But it should make for some great buying opertunities once it rights itself... When ever that is...

Yeah, even though it was from Ann Coulter, I thought it was a VERY interesting point she made.

Bussiness and politicts make strange bed fellows?? Hahaha I'd have chosen big business = McCain day in and day out.... .... And I'm very happy my 401k is securely in my control!! I only wish my pension was... But that's another story? With interest rates staying low and baby boomers take their very large lump sum distributions.... the Pension Benifits Guaranty Corp will be the next major crisis after the mortgage thingy blows over... In my humble opinion...

Better watch out, 401k's are only FDIC'ed up to 250k.

Thank you!!! God forbid the Democrats start playing the same campaign finance game the Republicans have been playing for years!!

Obama isn't any different from past politicians. It's just that this time he has more support from the media and is not as scrutinized.

with that figure that was cited about Wall Street that is a pretty could indication on who Wall Street is betting on to win the election
