Please. Everybody was unanimous that the Goldman Sach's of the world were the embodiment of evil. Now that a silver bullet's being aimed at them, you complain that they're ducking.

There are lots of things to despise about Wall Street. Bonuses aren't even on the list.

your post just reminded me how the market used to drop whenever Obama spoke or gave a presser.

Maybe that’s why he hasn’t had one since June?

Boy - he sure learned his leason from Massachussetts right?
He’s gonna get right out there and keep on pissing people off.

He is much worse than a bad, bad President. He has aided and comforted the enemy and deserves impeachment.

Wall Street was expecting vast supplies of government money that will not be forthcoming now. The stocks that were in bed with Obama are going down the tubes like they should have already. As soon as they bottom out we may return to a normal Capitalist free market.

Every day Obama and his minions are further restricting what the private sector can do, and further expanding what the public sector can do. There’s a word for that.

The market was mixed earlier as good earnings news was tempered by an unexpected jump in initial jobless claims.

Unexpected? Why would any business be hiring with an anti-capitalist boob in charge, looking to tax anything that moves.

There may be a thousand ways to look at this. How about this one: A third or more of the rally in stocks since March was due to nothing more than currency adjustments. Now that healthcare appears to be dead, infinite threat to the dollar appears to be contained. So the market will give back its "weak dollar" premium according to its anticipation of how much it was overdone on that basis.

Here's another: Wall Street might just be saying, "If you screw with us, we're gonna break your kneecaps."
