After what happened, I’m surprised this is all it fell.

Let’s see how the media cover this on the 6 PM news - doom, gloom, scare people, Bush bad.

Market fears regulation from Obama if he wins (that’s in the back of the markets mind). Though I am surprised the market hasn’t been rallying since it became clear McCain would win.

It held pretty steady at 300 for most of the day and then took a dive before closing.

[edcoil]

The market has been pretty much falling since SanFranNan and the dem’s took over two years agao.

Yes. I'm not a business expert... But I thought it might -open- 500 points down. I'm relieved... Still that's a big drop.

I'm glad the Fed didn't spend even more taxpayer money for the purpose of isolating businesses from the natural consequences of their actions.

There's a lot of blame to go around, unfortunately.

Maybe, when we get to the other side of this, we'll all be wiser and stronger.

Please pray for our nation.

re: Dow Closes Down 504.48

Is that a record? If not, it’s a damn good average.

The market goes up

The market goes down

(repeat at leisurely pace)

It’s just a flesh wound.

[Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh]

This is clearly the fault of George Bush.

p.s. to believe this, one must either be an ass, or ignorant (for from DU forums, both). Ask a liberal which entity of our government is "responsible" for oversight of the economy.

[thefactor]

thank god for the little things:

renting apartment, city job, pension, benefits, overtime, deferred compensation.

[gogov]

That is putting it mildly

[r_barton]

Don’t worry. The federal government has plenty of green ink, silk paper and printing presses. They won’t run out of bailout money.

I'm afraid this is going to Reshape the election towards the BIG ZERO and cause it to regain his mojo. The msmWHORES is going to go OH SO over broad blaming the pubs. The republicans better start slinging some mud towards both RAT controlled house...NOW! They can't let the mediaPUkes and their messiah dominate this story...THEY JUST CAN'T!! This is a call to arms!

So much of this boils down to one basic issue- Bad Loans!! Give it 9 months and things will look very different. The problem is we only have less than 2 months until election day, this brings me to my rant.

Someone needs to shut Greenspan up. He is part of the reason we’re in this position and his comments on McCain’s proposed tax cuts- what is the old saying, “With friends like this, who needs enemies”. Tell everyone you know Greenspan is part of the problem here!

Does character count yet?

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

I want justice. I would like to see the morons that ran these banks into the ground thrown in jail. If a normal citizen handled our finances the way they do, we would be in the big house.

I hate to say this. But we need more regulation. for ethics.
