Just like the filthy acts suggested by this Democrat and Republican op-ed cartoon, sometimes, the acts between the sheets are more important the grandiose public personna people proclaim or protest. Just as there is no certain or perfect way to study fossils, there is no perfect method that can be used to redact the exact costs and benefits of temporary political measures. Consider the example of the latest political deal in Washington, DC, which raised the public debt limit again, also known as the debt ceiling, and simultaneously re-open the American government after a 16 day shutdown. This shutdown was the first to happen in 17 years, when it was President Bill Clinton who faced the Republicans led by Newt Gingrich, hot off of the so-called Republican Revolution, and their infamous "Contract with America", shut down the American government, also over The White House's support of a healthcare act at the time, which was then named Hillarycare, named after then first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, who made it a personal mission to advance the cause of nationalized healthcare, during her husband's term in office. It is therefore an established historical pattern, for Republicans to oppose any system of healthcare which limits or reduces the private medical system, which has served Americans for so many years. Whatever your preferences, whoever you support, you can still earn massive returns on investments made around the world of healthcare, pharmaceutical industries, and other health related assets, when you invest online using binary options trading platforms. Whenever political passions are inflamed, the surrounding scenery can seem quite distracting. But as any wise investor will tell you, no single event should determine your long-term investment strategy, or the companies and assets you choose to invest in. What matters in the longer term is your affinity and expertise for said asset, and whether or not said asset has potential for real growth. In fact, even the terms of expiration do not matter as much as these two characteristics. That is because even on short-term investments, the same rules apply. 1) Whether or not you know the subject matter well enough to make an informed decision, and 2) That the company or asset has a real possibility - even a probability - of meeting or beating your expectations of its performance during whatever time limit you set for your investment. The key is to pick your horses and stick with them, not to doubt yourself endlessly until you remain paralyzed from the very thought of executing your commands. And so too, this editorial comic of a donkey and an elephant in bed, talking about their next dirty affair, made sense of the madness that made October such a fun month to satire and rake over the hot coals, at least from a humorist's perspective in the world of finance. Do you think this kind of political brinksmanship is likely to help or hinder the stock market when it happens again?
