Ozymandius STOCK MARKET WATCH Appreciation Thread - Sign In!
Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 01:03 PM by Hissyspit
I don't recall ever posting a thread of appreciation for another DUer, but I was thinking that if anyone deserves one for persistent consistent quality contribution, it is Ozymandius for his daily early morning Stock Market Watch threads. He has been here from almost the beginning of Democratic Underground and we can count on the daily updates appearing every morning. I have posted news items to them occassionally, but I, if I am up, always give a recommendation to help make sure the threads make their way to the Greatest Page.

Every thread contains statistical documentation of the absolute financial disaster this corrupt administration has been to this country and, obviously, many are paying extra attention this week to the insights his threads provide. It is too bad the effects you are documenting are so sorely serious for American citizens, but many thanks for your important contributions. (Many of us are reading and paying attention even during the not-so-stomach-shifting days.)

Also, he has toons.

Ozy, this frosty beverage of your choice is for you:

8. THANKS, Ozymandius!!!
As a novice in all things economic, I appreciate the "cut to the chase" coverage of Wall Street by the DU Stock Market Watch crowd!

10. Yes!
He/she is one of DU's stalwart posters - when my stomach lining is up for it, I try to read it at least a few days/week.

Thank you for your consistency and thoroughness in reporting on a less than happy situation EVERY DAY.

Ozy produces the most important thread on DU and has gathered some of the most interesting, informed, and entertaining posters on DU. What's not to like?

Thanks, Ozy!

16. Thank you, Oz!
My mother used to read me your poem when I was a kid. This is all I remember:

Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert
And beside them, on the sand
A shattered visage lies
whose.... and sneer of cold command
.....
look on me, all ye mighty, and despair!


Or something like that!

41. Ozymandias, king of kings
______

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
______

... and one just has to think of 'Little Boots'. :( :thumbsup:

19. I must agree and the archives of Ozymandiu' threads are sure
to be a fascinating historical reference that describes in daily detail the day-to-day development of The Greater Depression and the mood of we the people as it happened.

Thanks Ozymandius! :toast:

And, they've been doing it quietly here on DU since almost the beginning. Ozy and those who particpate on that thread are DU's unsung heroes and it's time they got the recognition they deserve!

44. Ozzys thread is the first thing I read when I wake each weekday
.... and I get up very very early (4 am PST).

And without fail, there is the Stock Market Watch thread. I always recc it and help it get to Greatest.


Here is to you Ozzy, and all of the contributors to the daily SMW thread. Great work that is very much appreciated.
