[what's up]

It's simply speculators

No. Not "simply".

Along with speculators (which there always are and always will be...this is still America, isn't it?) there were many who like the plan and see it as the only answer other than a severe downturn. Is anyone else proposing anything to avoid a downturn? There's nothing else out there. Including here on Free Republic.

Many of those buyers you saw the last couple days now have hope that the plan might be the instrument to help the economy get back on its feet.

Not to be mean...but if this is the case then those buyers were fools. The plan hasn't even been presented to Congress yet.
