So when the DOW drops 4,000 points...will the CEOs still love the Republican Party??

[titaniumsalute]

Just asking.

1. Yes, because

they will be on the airwaves, all over the "liberally-biased media", proclaiming that it was Obama who caused the shutdown of the government and the default that they all wanted.

2. When the SSI checks have stopped for two months, will the old white guys care that Obama is black?

Or will they just want things back to the way they were in good ol 2012

4. Those old government checks.

Those old white guys will find out where they did come from soon.

3. They will stop writing checks if they go down 1,000 points.

And Boehner has already gotten the word.

Boehner has already said that he won't let it happen.

And that is why the DJI is only down 50 points.

They went too far. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sent a letter signed by about 250 business groups asking members of Congress to stop their shenanigans. Wall Street titans such as JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) Chairman Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein, alarmed that a small band of extremists is blithely considering bringing down the global economy, are pleading with the Republican leadership to rein in the renegades.

[Recursion]

6. The ones with short positions will

Hell, they'll be ecstatic

7. When is the DOW going to drop 4000 points?

The DOW is up about 500 points over the last four days. Investors know this is a show and will have little effect on the economy. If you really think it is going to drop 4000 then take your money and short the market. I am going in the opposite direction.

8. If there is another bail-out, yes.
