QE makes this a house built on sand, not on rock.

The floundering of Obozocare seems to have a positive impact on our markets.

P-P-T.

Wait till this SOB collapses. This is a repeat of the 1930s...worse.

So now Wall Street is a good thing.

"Stocks have been rising sharply this year as the U.S. economy improves, companies report bigger profits"

Are company profits really up all that much? I sure don't see that the US economy has improved all that much by any objective measure. Is this the result of large volume trading or primarily institutional trading? Isn't this just a result of the fed pumping 80 billion dollars into the market every month?

And Øbama will take credit for this as usual,, but not the crash of course.

I will continue to rely on my financial adviser, who is well trained in such things, and has an arsenal of resources to use within her company to help with my decisions instead of a bunch of people in FR who have never taken an economics course.

Adjust 16,000 and 1,800 back 5 years for inflation and what do we get.

Record breaking height of...a house of cards.

Quantitative Easing high is like a sugar high for kids - hyper, hyper, hyper.

Inflation via non-stop printing of funny money. The market is way over valued right now, it’s just riding the devaluation of the dollar. In reality, the numbers should be 1/2 to 1/3 of what they are with taking inflation into account. I would dump these stocks at their inflated values, and use that inflated value to buy up some undervalued tangible assets.

Oh Zimbabwe, here we come!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Ok I guess everything is great now. Depression over, 11 million new jobs created, housing market back on track. Yeah!!!!!!!

[DakotaGator]

Stocks have been rising sharply this year as the U.S. economy improves, companies report bigger profits and the Federal Reserve keeps up its easy-money policies.

There's the key. "Easy money" is only available to a certain segment of the country. In reality, the money is worthless. In perception, it has value. So until reality matches perception "easy money" can be used by that segment of the country to secure real wealth without risk.

The U. S. economy has not been improving. Action on the stock exchange is solely due to "easy money". And that action is just a giant smoke and mirrors show distracting the public from the very real transfer of wealth out of their pockets into the coffers of the same entities that always benefit from these government caused financial crashes.

Enjoy the show. When the curtains close the Republic dies and We The People will be government slaves.

[I want the USA back]

Here we go again! Numbers that are not adjusted for inflation are meaningless. Also, the fascination with numbers that end in zeros reveals a small mind.
