Yes. The Tooth Fairy only takes baby teeth that come out naturally.

Oh, Oh. Uh I didn’t know that. I’ll have to try a different tack.

From your post, though, I glean you believe in the Tooth Fairy, too?

“Frankly, a bit of panic would be very helpful right now,”

Oh Oh! Continuing high unemployment and feeble economic growth are killing Obama’s performance ratings. Looks to me like the Democrats would like a crisis that they could use to put the blame on Republican “intransigence”. If a panic (like a market crash) doesn’t come, the Dems might engineer one.

Of course. Wall Street knows damn well that Washington will come up with some half-assed patch that will get the job done even while satisfying no one. They know this is all about politics and buying votes, not fiscal restraint and responsibility.

Occam’s Razor would say politics doesn’t understand the market.

That is probably because these politics
(obamadministration) DON’T BELIEVE in the
market.

Washington, as with this White House, is a flat out joke. The regulations established in the past 2.5 years under this idiot-ridden administration are making it more of a joke. =.=

True, the general stock market anticipates political trends.

The high on the Dow, BTW, in 2007, was more like 14,600. It's currently something like 12,000.

Contrary to popular opinion, however, Wall Street brokerages and banks have more connections to the Democrats and contributed more to their campaigns in 2008 than they did to Republicans. In exchange, they got quite a number of senior appointments to the Obama Administration.

In the current debt debate, they have a vested interest in raising the debt ceiling so that they can buy and sell more Treasury bonds, regardless of their ratings. So they play along with the Democrat and media scare tactics.
