Well the thing is if you go to news at google and put polls into the search engine, all published polls are available.

How many brokerage firms advised their clients to sell before, or early into, the bear market?

They can't pick markets, they can't pick stocks, and they surely can't pick senators.

Looks like their political research and analysis is just as good as their stocks research and analysis.

probably recommended "growth" companies like Enron, CMGI and Global Crossing

Still perplexed on how people trained on economics, finance and equity markets can still partner with Democrats; obviously companies want government favors and advantage. CNBC folks are just trying to sell ads and keep their jobs.

Jim Cramer is still a socialist with obvious bias still "defending" what happened in the LATE 90's in accounting departments as something that Bush(either) should have prevented.

Hey Jim, if you read this, just wanted to make sure you knew your "act" is not flying. Democratic "Party party" politics caused the implosion.

Did they predict whether Robert Rubin will be drawn into the Citigroup financial mess associated with WorldCom?

They know better than to even suggest something like this concerning the sacred cow.

I still stick with my prediction of Pubbies +3 in Senate. Could be +4 if LA goes to runoff in December.

Don't know about "Pubbies" but I will be thrilled if the Republicans pick up one.

Oh yeah, a brokerage firm, now that's a real reliable source on election polls. They are like weathermen. They can't even tell us what the stock market is going to do today.

On fairly reliable mark of a troll is that he starts a contentious thread, and then never interacts with responses.

Ever notice that?

"Democratic "Party party" politics caused the implosion."

That isn't even the half of it. There is ample evidence of collusion between the leaders of the DNC and certain companies - Clinton & Enron, Rubin & Enron, McAuliffe & Global Crossing, Hillary & her multiple scams. The media just doesn't report it. Donations by these companies to different politicians are a smoke screen, and chump change if you consider the billions of dollars involved over all.

In my opinion, the Democrats deliberately caused the bubble and collapse. In part to profit from it, but for political ends as well.

If you chart year on year growth for the stock market since 1950, even with large variations, the growth is a consistent 8% or so. The stock market should never have crossed the 9000 mark until sometime this year (early) and not hit 10000 until the middle of next year. If you plot the chart you can see a well behaved curve right up to the mid 90s, when all of the sudden this huge shark fin develops. Around the middle of 2000 and into 2001 the curve is correcting itself - what ever was deforming the curve was gone. The 9/11 attacks caused an overcorrection - drove the curve which was already about corrected further down. Now we're getting back on track. The DOW should cross 9000 by the end of this year. Depending on whether the economy resumes its original track, or ends up permanently deflected and just resumes its normal growth, we should see 10000 by either the middle of next year, or somwhere around the end of next year.

There, that's my economic forecast. My qualifications are mathematics and statistics rather than economics, but there you have it.

[moteineye]

No way. I just voted in N.Fulton.(Atlanta) There were lots of voters despite the rain.N.Fulton is a least 80% Republican.If Cleland wins it will be because of the Libertarian votes.Ross Perot got 20% of the vote in Georgia.
