Of course, market went down sharply on the day of the New Hampshire primary too. What a coincidence.

McCain’s got some good ideas regarding the economy, oh wait, he will, once he read’s Alan Greenspan’s book.
[Like Mike Huckabee, who joked recently that he “may not be the expert that some people are on foreign policy, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night,” McCain suggested to reporters Monday that American consumer culture offered a short cut to expertise. “The issue
of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should,” McCain said. “I’ve got Greenspan’s book.”]

Sure, the market plunged 370 points when traders learned that McCain and Huckabee cut a deal in WV.

Anybody up for a junta? That way we don’t have to wait for 2012 for Petraeus.

McCains got some good ideas regarding the economy Oh yeah. Genius John said, "we need to pass the stimulus package".
Maybe he's confusing it with one of Cindy's toys.

Everyone needs to understand their market history. Pre-Roosevelt the stock markets fluctuated wildly. Roosevelt did a number of things to slow the market down. A number of those have been lifted as the market was deregulated after Reagan, in addition to the moderization like computer trading that speeds up the market.
Today’s market is much like it was 100 years ago. Don’t freak because we have ‘wild’ swings. They’re not that wild in terms of history.

Hillary cries. Markets go down. Once a month.

A friend of mine - who no longer really has to work - said to me when I chided him about some remarks he made in a discussion about the Dubai ports deal, "Why should I invest in America at this point? It's like feeding a growing flock of vultures that'll s**t all over my car on their way by."

I wonder how concerned they are that RINO Romney might get the POTUS ????
To: Tennessee Nana
Naw, I think they are concerned with the shenanigans going on in West Virginia.
To: Perdogg
It’ll be interesting to see what it does if a Dem gets elected POTUS.

“...If McCain can do that to the Dow, just think what he could do to the country...”

I’m not freaking. I’m using this to illustrate the fact that the GOP “frontrunner” John McCain doesn’t know as much as YOU do about the stock market. I could guarantee it.

The trend is not our friend, either on the Wall St, or Super Tuesday Main Street.
The markets may be looking 6 months out and may not like what it sees....
