Exit - Stage Left - Compliments of Snagglepuss - some stockmarket advice

If you remember SnagglePuss , the Pink Lion from 1959

who appeared on the old "The Quick Draw McGraw show" and "The Yogi Bear show" he had a few famous lines he always used.

"Heavens to Murgatroyd" was among the catch phrases. The one

that the lion would use when he saw trouble brewing was "Exit, Stage Left" and he would make a fast escape from the tiny hunter "Major Minor", and dart off out of the way of trouble.

Well the point of all this is that this market has come a long way without any kind of major

correction. It would behoove you to exit stage right (or left )and take some profits (or tax losses) and move a good portion into cash for this September- October time frame. The market, even in good times ,will have issues in October, and in bad times with revenue growth being questionable and unemployment staying even or getting worse , it is a good time to be very risk adverse.

There will always being another stock value coming along later. You just need to have patience.

Exit , Stage Right......

Andrea Strucker

Baron Strucker instilled his Nazi values in his children.In retaliation for stopping Andreas from raping a woman while on a hunting trip in Africa, Andrea shot Storm (who was powerless at the time)in the head with a rifle and left her for dead. It failed to do much damage and only grazed her.Some time later, Andrea and Andreas attempted (and failed) to assassinate Magneto at his trial for crimes against humanity.Andrea and Andreas continued being low-level villans, occasionally pestering the X-men and various other X-teams with villainous acts such as attempting (and again failing) to kill Banshee and Forge, attempting (and yes, yet again failing) to join the Upstarts by capturing various members of The New Mutants and the Hellions, having a run-in or two with Generation X, Quicksilver, or Gambit, and generally being villainous, but in general, (last time I'll use the word) failing to do much of anything.Recently, Andrea was killed by Baron Heinrich Zemo(the 13th) after she, at least on some level, figured out that he was posing as Citizen V. Andreas, who was being controlled by the Purple Man at the time, flayed off some of the skin from her corpse and preserved it so he could continue to use his powers. It is wrapped around the hilt of his sword.
