Whew, that was a close one-- almost didn't come to work today thinking we had a holiday. We don't; bond market's closed but the rest of us are at it! At any rate, most futures markets are up --stock futures barely. Other news:

HONG KONG (CNNMoney).Obama nudges US to stop thwarting jobs growthBy JOSH LEDERMAN - AP - Fri Nov 08, 8:28PM CST NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Dwarfed by towering cranes and cargo containers, President Barack Obama came to a port in conservative-leaning Louisiana on Friday to nudge both parties to stop throwing up roadblocks to jobs and economic progress. (full story)
All of the roadblocks to jobs and economic progress are 0bama’s.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s like he’s standing in the middle of the street warning the people on the sidewalks not to block traffic.
That is an excellent visual and accurate.
All of the roadblocks to jobs and economic progress are 0bama’s.
That's what I was thinking. This is becoming the standard kind of thinking from the loopy left these days, saying something totally false to fact and then with constant repetition the loopy left then claims it's always been true.

--and while it may hurt our feelings to be told we're wrong when we're right, we can cry all the way to the bank.
Well the upward retrace was a few % points more than I expected. Even so we didn’t make new highs. Kind of a skittery day today with the market trying to rally a couple of times but getting jabbed down on bigger sell volume. It’s trying to rally now but the momentum is slowing and we might be starting to see a hint of the downward roll I was talking about.
seems the overall market’s been sideways down but many market leaders are being hit hard.
Thanks. I don’t watch the individuals, but if that’s the case that’s classic distribution - hold the weaker stocks up while hammering the leaders, then slam them all down together.
IBD said we had a distribution yesterday w/ institutions selling off, they said it was ‘mild’ and only w/ the S&P. Thing is we’ve chalked up 6 of ‘em in this aging rally & they’ve proclaimed that this uptrend is ‘under pressure’ —meaning a yellow traffic light that means proceed w/ caution.
I’m just hoping it isn’t one of those DC yellows that’s set to a half second to bilk tourists w/ a speed cam.
Did they remove your post again?
