Market up 30.

They won’t let it tank on Dear Leader Obama’s 50th birthday.

Depression will follow however.

please. 0.04%?

I see europe down an average of about 1%. While that's not great, it's not "getting killed," esp. in light of the last week or so.

yeah, I see that. Still, a glance at the STOX suggests it was never down more than 1%.

Guess we'll see some short covering on the dow today.

I think we're in for a long, slow grind to 7500-9250.

Yep yesterday it started out way down, and ended up a plus by the end of the day (last hour is business trading). all day long is our 401k’s, weird how that works. Loses all day then bounces back in the last hour,eh?

Rasmussen: only SIX PERCENT think Congress is doing a good or excellent job...6%!

You clowns need to make major headlines by slashing spending NOW...implementing that 1% cut that was being floated around might be a good place to start...1% across the board...starting now. Who has the stones to bring this up in the House?

Now they're down 3% + -- that's "getting killed," especially in light of the last week.
