I truly hate the first few days of daylight savings
Edited on Sun Apr-04-04 10:07 AM by The Lone Liberal
In the first place I have never received a decent return on all the daylight I have saved. As a matter-of-fact I have lost most of my savings of daylight due to manipulation by the daylight savings traders. The small investor in daylight savings does not have a chance with the large institutional traders in daylight savings. Couple that with the current fiscal policy of the Bush administration and daylight savings is not a decent investment.

The daylight saved will not provide sufficient return to assist during retirement. The only reasonable strategy for the average American is to use the daylight and eschew engaging in any daylight savings plan.

Just a thought from the daylight savings’ market.
