  1. Once you grown up and learn a little bit more you will realize the equity market is a good barimeter of nothing. If you want to get an idea, watch bonds. If you do think the equity market is of any worth then ask yourself why Bear Stearns was trading at 150 a few months before it went best when actually it was worth nothing.

    The stock market is for pikers.

    The equity market rallies everyday on no volume and shit earnings but that is where the momentum is so that's where people throw their money.

    This is actually the worst case scenario for barry, the equity market may be rallying now but where is it going to be in a couple of years when the next election rolls around? That is what you should be concerned about.

  2. Sorry but if it only affects people making over $280,000, how is it going to cost $12k for every household? On the contrary, won’t the increased government spending create more jobs, thus saving more family’s money?

    But I know nobody here will give a legitimate response. I’m sure everybody will spend so much time calling me an Obama loving Socialist, rather than just answering my question.

  5. the train just visited the 9300 mile marker. many are hoping that it returns to 7000 so they can get on but its not going to happen. eventually they will decide that if only it returns to 8000 then i will get on. and on and on. you know how the story plays out.

    So, are saying Obama caused this rally? I've always felt the president gets too much credit when its going well and too much blame when it's not. The fact is, the president has little to do with how the markets do in the short term. Longer term, yes.

    The market could be back at 14,000 and that won't garantee Obama anything IF people perceive their own living standard as less than good.

    Hell, if this was Bush, you would be lamenting the fact that the Wall Street fat cats are getting rich again as the market goes up. :D

  7. obama didnt directly cause this rally but his policies are giving the market its confidence back. the market by now has had a chance to disect all of his proposals and is giving him a big thumbs up.
    the market was able to sniff out better times ahead and that is why the big rally off the bottom. now we are starting to get "better than expected" news. just this morning housing was better than expected.

    imagine what happens to the party of no if the democrats are able to run on a strong economy record in the next election.

  8. Bullshit. The markets are rising because the halfrican's socialist agenda is being kicked to the curb by those not suckling the government teet. The halfrican's ratings are free falling, the markets are blasting up. Do the math.

  9. if it makes people like you feel better to delude yourself into thinking that more power to ya. the democrats would hate for republicans to actually figure out out of touch they are and become competitive again.

  10. You don't have to be competitive when the other team defeats itself.
