Just curious as to what the topics will be post Ashcroft confirmation. Maybe something technical, and non-political?

Short and sweet, how do us average Joe's make a buck from the new Bush Administartion's direction?

Conventional Wisdom on Wall Street is that the pharmeceutical industry will increase profits under a Bush administration. They think the same will be true with the oil and oil service (drilling equipment) companies and the chemical industry. These stocks may already have made their moves, since this CW is months old, AFAIK.

Unconventional wisdom might look more closely at bonds, since we may be in for falling interest rates and stagnant or falling stock prices for the next couple of years - recession stuff. Stay away from any company that has high debt, a weak balance sheet and that depends on expanding consumer demand, especially export-driven demand.

Oh, yeah! Think about investing in "Ginger" - that new whatzis that will replace the Internet.
