Soros and Robert Rubin trying to prop up the markets? No one trusts Obama or has any faith in him. He is a marxist.

The funny thing is that after Obama said buy, he qualified it by saying he didn't mean for people to buy stocks.

DoubleSpeak

Orwell coined Newspeak, Oldspeak, duckspeak (speaking from the throat without thinking 'like a duck') and doublethink (holding "...simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them...") but not doublespeak.

Just for clarity.

Doublethink would have been a better description.

Suckers market, you being played if you buy in. The fundamentals suck big time. And when do you think that will change.

I think that 3 years from now some people will be deeply disappointed that they didn't buy some really great companies at these prices.

I bet the WH mentions this as a positive sign. The stock market only matters when it goes up. When it goes down, it is just a tracking poll.

It's amazing how easily people can be fooled, and that is exactly what is going on. Who thinks companies are going to be recording increasing profits in the near term.

This is a downtrend market with no bottom in sight, despite what Obama says about the 'profit to earnings ratio'. I doubt in the history of the market a dumber thing has ever been uttered by any elected official,

Many articles today saying:

Shouldn’t they have said:

Happened after the head of the FDIC made her reckless comments.

When the long term prospects for profits changes, then buy.

Do you see any sign of that happening in the next 2 years?

Did you see yesterday Toyota asked the Japanese government for a $7 billion equivalent bailout. The Electronics giants are laying off people as fast as they can. And housing, how long before a home builder of supplier is viable again.

Tbe pundits on CNBC certainly did that.

I watched it drop 115 points in the last 30 minutes!

That link I provided is great to follow the market with about only a one minute delay.

Agree- it’s a market of stocks, not a stock market. 3 of 4 move with the market. If you’re willing to do the research you can find solid companies with accelerating earnings growth, solid fundies, etcc.. Not every segment of the economy is in recession.

You have more information on that?

I was busy watching the chart dive.

She made some comments at 3:30 and what were they?

Thanks

The market anticipates an economic recovery by 6 to 8 months. By the time you feel comfortable buying stocks, they’ll be a lot higher than they are now.

A drop in GE kept the market from going higher. Tomorrow could prove to be a very down day. This was indeed a “dead cat bounce”.

Yes, all the useful idiot socialists were thrilled. There’s always tomorrow for more tanking. The only impressive thing is that it did stay positive while Geithner was speaking. He and Larry Summers are two of the least impressive money people I have ever seen.

Obama must have said something moronic about profits and earnings ratios 30 minutes ago.

Every bit of economic news around the world absolutely sucks, and everything governments around the world are doing sucks even more. So no, there is nothing to give actual upside momentum.

I'm no market guru, but it seems pretty clear that what happened today is just a bear rally and short covering.

Unfortunately for what's left of my 401k, I'm expecting to see it head south again.
