I lost a ton on Intrade today :( I figured it would recover back above 300 before the close... boy was I wrong.

We need a study to isolate the panic trader gene in folks.. and ban trading by those who have it.. of course there wouldn’t be many left, but.. I could do it for 10 million a year in 20 years or so. ;-)

Thanks FReepers. Reading your comments is enlightening. (kinda like the company you keep asset etc.) Even though I read FR often, I wish I had money to donate. The hope and change has been devastating to my family. I have never had a problem finding a job before. Now I’m in over 2 yrs of ‘change’.
Can we change it back? see tagline

For a 400 point drop, no way. Now if you can put four or five of those together you might actually get "The One" to notice.

My brother in law who was high school valedictorian then graduated #1 from a top tier university and then again graduated at the top with his PhD was unemployed for over a year after Obama took office. He finally got a decent job about 6 months ago.(completely out of his field though, and he had to move to a different state)
That totally freaked me out. Thank god I am self employed.

The markets are pretty much saying they have no faith in Obama to turn things around and maybe the markets are also saying that Obama will make things even worse.
Obama has done a lot of damage in the first 32 months and he has 16 months to go.

Why should he cut it short? My suspicion is he is okay with it, things are going according to plan (remember the thing about “fundamentally transforming America”, or something close to that?).

We may be losing our a**e*s but the important thing to remember is Obama & family are getting a much deserved vacation and eating the milk-fed, massaged hindquarters of penned, young beeves.

At his level of education and experience, people get placed in jobs through pure networking, i.e., the good old boys club.
Twenty years ago, a guy with that background and education could easily get a job. These days, an employer will simply hire somebody with half the experience and education for half the pay.
