Sure, Presidents' Day is supposed to celebrate two of the United States' greatest leaders, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, but that's not what usually happens on the holiday.
What comes to mind when you think of Presidents Day?
Sadly, after Washington and Lincoln, it's mattress sales or furniture bargains. (Car sales are off the radar this year, for obvious reasons.) Not very dignified, but that's just the way it goes.
So, while you relax during this celebration of these and other men who've held the highest office in the land, check out some of the best deals Wall Street is offering.
These could be the best deals you get all day!
1. Estee Lauder Cos. Inc. (NYSE: EL): Helping stressed Americans fight signs of aging.
2. Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX): Cocooning Americans put those home theaters to work.
3. Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN): Finding the way to profit in tough times.
4. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL): A core holding in any portfolio.

Close up Wall St. The country goes communist when the messiah signs the bill tomorrow. Wall St. has no place in a communist country. Move it to China, like Clinton and Bush moved everything else.

This is the time to buy quality stocks and bonds because within the next 5yrs your investment will probably triple. The problem with waiting for a dramatic upturn will cost most people more than 20% at the outset, if you cannot take the heat get out of the kitchen and let others make money.

Buy Gold Period. People, we are in Trillions of dollars in debt now, and there is no doubt in my mind, will climb even higher in these political times we are living in....Who do you think is going to pay for this? Soon your tax's are going to increase dramatic...even if you make $30.000 per year...Do not be fooled.

How much differently Wall Street would be reacting if we had elected Mike Huckabee and/or Mitt Romney and implemented the FairTax. Fuel prices are down and this economic downturn would have corrected itself without encumbering future generations with an insurmountable debt that will lead to socialism. It's a shame we ended up with a classic narcissist in the White House, and we will pay dearly for it.

Only buy gold if you are very very good at knowing when to sell. Gold is a hide-out not an investment.

wall street will continue to falter till Madoff and the top officials of wall street are prosecuted and fired.there are no deals in the market. mistrust is abound. the fox is still in the hen house. till they are gone the stock market is no place to be. get rid of them so investors will come back. till you do it stocks are dead.

dang 1067 keep that train of thought. more than one thinks as you do. and more should. honesty will do more than the billions we are about to spend. all states are licking their chops on how to put the money elsewhere to balance budgets.
