In President Obama's little speech yesterday he said the stock market is like a tracking poll with its ups and downs. WTF how can you make that comparison? And if it is a poll to him hasnt he seen that its going down and not comeing up? And wouldnt you think he would want to do something to stop it and make it go back up? It seems to be a joke to him. Does he realize how many of us lost thousands of dollars because of the market!!!!!!!!!!! To me it seems he doesnt care. Because the more of us that dont have money the more of us will need to rely on the government to give us hand outs.

except that, unlike a poll, the stock market is an exact science. There is no margin of error on the companies it includes.

he's stated himself he has very little clue how the stock market works - statements like this just establish it all the more.

Its just unfortunate that we aren't in the grips of a community organizational crisis. I would be much more confident in the selection of this man as President.

I would like to know what all his top "financial experts" have to say about it. But I think they are to busy figuring out how they can tax us to death without us knowing it.

If his task is to take us down, then the markets are tracking his success alright.

Or, the Helicopter Ben might have told him that the result of this whole bailout will be a hyperinflation, so Obama then is setting himself up for "see, I told you so".

Either way, for the markets, there is a strong support,...



at zero.
