So the stock market bounced up.

Whooppee. That means Wall Street thinks there's gonna be an extension on the debt ceiling.

Without, of course, giving a shit about the shutdown.

maybe somebody know the fix is in. It would be interesting to know what some of the smarter Tea Party Repuboicans are doing on the investment scene.

If (when) we go through the threat on the debt ceiling, the whole kit and kaboodle will implode.

If (when) the shutdown lasts two or three more weeks they will again have a scare and will have to go there again.

WS has not yet realized the damage this is doing to the economy. And it will take a tad since the government office that works these numbers is currently shut down

Dare we ask if the Bloomberg Terminal is wired into Congress?

There has been some speculation that our Congress is doing some "Insider Trading" in the past. This whole FIASCO just makes them richer...(those who have investments....and we know that many...so many...already do.... They laugh all the way to their 1% Forbes Rating.
