Because, as I said, conservatives hold enough nonsensical ideas about how “the markets” work already.

I’d like to see conservatives (and maybe the occasional elected Republican) quit proffering silly non-solutions to our problems.

The UFO stuff has no bearing on where we’re going as a country. It is, for all intents and purposes, a no-op. It is about as important to the country as whether your Aunt Millie cheated on her submission to the county fair pie contest by using cherries from a can.

Believing in specious nonsense about the markets, however, is leading us down the road to our own self-destruction. Here. Now. Not tomorrow, and not in some third world jerkwater country.

Oh no! You knew Aunt Millie?

"Believing in specious nonsense about the markets, however, is leading us down the road to our own self-destruction. Here. Now. Not tomorrow, and not in some third world jerkwater country."

Joe Weisental is doing that?

Do you know how many people just read the headline? Many, many more than reads the article. People gain the knowledge that the market closed down today just by reading one sentence "Stocks Fall In Another Big Heartbreaker For The Bulls: Here's What You Need To Know"

Most people don't care about the how or why...they're to busy. I remember when that was all I cared about, up or down?.

I've read many of your posts and believe that you are very knowledgeable on finance, investing and etc. and have always respected and often looked forward to what you had/have to say.
Believe me, no-one is reading these threads for economic/investing advice and shouldn't be. Their (the articles) complete accuracy is not critical...that's how I view it.

The WSJ or the FT...well, I'd expect a little more accuracy.
