Breaking: Dow Tumbles 75 Points as Obama Speaks
Pundit Press ^ | 8/8/11 | Thomas Ferdousi

Posted on 08/08/2011 11:28:07 AM PDT by therightliveswithus

UPDATE: Dow down 460 at 2:00 est.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is taking a beating as President Obama continues to speak. Towards the beginning of his speech, the index was down 375 points. As I write now it is down 450. Obama's blaming of everyone else and trotting out the same old "solutions" are not helping.

The S&P average is down a total of 5% on the day. The NASDAQ is also down 5% on the day. This is becoming a run. We need leadership now.

In addition, between the time he announced the speech and gave it, the Dow fell another 100 points.

I find nothing wrong with referring to the down grade as the “Tea Party Down Grade” because it is exactly what the Tea Party predicted if debt and spending weren’t drastically cut.

Becoming a run? On the 21st of July the stock market was at 12700.

It’s now dropped 1.6k in 3 weeks. Averaging losses of 100 points/day.

Reported too early. Wait until the full impact of the blather is digested. And, REALLY just wait until Wednesday. This a dress rehearsal for the Wednesday markets.

My stomach drops every time FUBO speaks. My blood pressure goes up and I start swearing. Is this a normal reaction?

August 2006 ~ about the same on the DOW.

That's not out of line with everything else.

Home prices fell back to 2003 and 2004 prices at the beginning of the earlier part of the Great Obama Recession and they're now up to 2006 in most of the more stable areas (not CA, FL, NV, AZ).

Looks more like a correction than anything else ~ but I really would like to see 2011 PULL OUT AHEAD of 2005 (if you get my drift).

Soros the short seller invested wisely in the DNC and Obama.

Both drive the value of things down.
