Market closes at 7,850. Who feels stimulated? Thankfully we’ll give Obama and Congress the weekend so we’ll have a few day break of our “leadership” inacting policy that destroys investor value…
Hey with all of the inflation this stim package will cost us, throw all of your cash into oil & gold. That way your purse will truely be stimulated.
Yeah, I’m not sure how much more “Obama administration help” my retirement account can stand before it’s worthless.
Read the tea leaves, all of you who claim Obama is the Annointed One. The market might go up, it might go down, but either way the market is always correct and a reflection of what to expect six months out. And when the market nosedives every time another steaming pile of “helping” is announced, there’s a real message to all of you (but we use a secret mind control drug so you Obama true believers can’t see the message).
You’re full of shit.
yes Obama is to blame for all those lousy 4th quarter 2008 earnings reports. All his fault. umm hummm.
Look at the bright side – Sirius XM was up 41.76% today!
Where else could you have made 40% in ONE day?!
so we’ll have a few day break of our “leadership” inacting policy
Your command of the English language is staggering. You know, like a drunk.
well said giant…
As far as frenchie’s highly intelligent response above… I’d expect nothing less - douchebag
As far as Ben ranting about grammar, if thats all you got, I guess you must agree with the general argument then?
We’ve all explained to you several times that the market is inherently erratic, and you keep going on with your daily rants about how the market behaves. Therefore, all you deserve is to be told the truth. You’re full of shit, you have a skull thicker than double mac, and you really don’t understand much.

You’re trying to reason with T-Rex.
My bad…
T-Rex, what I wanted to say was: ggrrrrrreaaarrrrrggggaaaerrrrrggggghhh!!
market is erratic over short periods of time (day by day), but is a pretty fair measure of overall economic sentiment over longer periods of time. Heck, if it was not for the market being tanked the overall economy is not that bad (unemployment <10%, little to no inflation, interest rates at all time lows, on the negative side GDP growth is recessionary) not the great depression that the clown in the big white house keeps suggesting.
So my question remains, considering Big O was elected in November when the market was around 9,500 and it has fallen a bunch since then, is he waiting till it hits 6,000 so he can “rescue” it to 7,000 and then declare victory?
Which is it,
“I dislike your boy”
**“a skinny black guy living in a big white house” **
or
“the clown in the big white house”
Try being direct…what is it you really want to say about our preisident?
.
I guess you must agree with the general argument then?
Yes, but Francois’ argument, not yours.
You’re such a colossal fuckwit that it’s not worth trying to reason with you. So I’m just going to be rude about you.
that’s hilarious.
i’m reducing it to this: one party wants to run the country like a business, the other party wants to run it like a flop house.
the big heaping pile of shit stimulus is going to be the most expensive plan in history, not because of the upfront 700-900 billion, but because of the billions it will cost us in ramifications to the market. the idiots.
the bright side is hopefully the GOP is re-org’ing and will come out with major players in 4 years. once in office it will take a year or two to undo some of the breastfeeding.
The most expensive plan in history just hit us already…these last past 8yrs…remember how much money there was when W arrived, and how much money there is when he left?
It’s economics, no prediction stands. So I don’t know what the impact of the plan will be. But the impact of W’s policy, we’ve seen it now, and it was total utter fucking disaster. So as I said elsewhere, Obama could use the stimulus, or play Legend of Zelda for the next 4 years, and he still won’t fuck up as bas as the other twit that just left.
hey, did you see the SNL skit when one of the cast played Clinton, and he was doing a speech, checking in after taking some time off after his presidency. he said “hey, things are good right, the budget is balanced, unemployment low”…and it was hilarious because it had only been 1 or 2 years of W and he had blown the place to smitherines.
Francois, this latest bill is more than the sum total spent on Iraq - we get it, you think the war was wrong, but at the very least 50 million people are free.
At what point is Obama in charge? Last I heard Bush was in Dallas. Can you supply us with a date that you will stop looking backward.
50 million are free? Really? Free to get shot at more often than before? I’m sure they’re thrilled. By the way, I wasn’t referring only to the war. look how was there was when W arrived, and how much was left at the end of his 8 years.
As I said in another thread, even though I prefer the values democrats have (at least the ideal) because it favours more support for the poorer folks, what I really care about are results. And if Obama fucks things up even half as bad as W did, I’ll be just as much against him that I am against W’s record. But I will see how things evolve first. I don’t think most economists have much idea how things will pan out since the predictive value of economics is lousy at best. But, until we start seeing tangible results, one way or another (and it will probably be one year down the road or so), I will give the man a solid chance.
but at the very least 50 million people are free.
Wow, just wow. That’s really an interesting perspective. We’ve managed to kill a lot more Iraqis than Sadaam ever could. There are no basic services and you never know when you’ll be killed. I know this because my current grad assistant is an Iraqi over here for a year. He’s really looking forward to going home.
Good times, good times.
