What can I say. There it is, for what it's worth.

1. the market likes certainty.

Since this health care bill has left the committee, there is a degree of certainty now. The shoe has dropped, so people follow through with stock trades they were gonna make.

2. Drudge Report is not having it !! (Matt Drudge closes eyes and hums loudly)

13. That's good for Wall Street but not for Main Street.

The big boys on Wall Street are having their recovery. Good for them. But I don't think that the average person is seeing any recovery at all. Unemployment is way too high and it doesn't look like it will be going down anytime soon. This must be one of those jobless recoveries that we keep hearing about.

14. compare this to the first time it broke 10k

which was during the dot-com boom, and you can see just how much market manipulation is going on.

18. I keep blinking, but it keeps going up!

It may well close over 10 K !

17. nice and funny and dumb

As everyone surely knows by now, today the DOW reached the mythical 10,000 point mark, with the latest surge, thanks to the “better-than-expected results from JPMorgan and Intel” (CNNMoney.com).

With this wonderful news at hand, hordes of buyers jumped on the future potential of stock market gains. This new round of speculation is said to be firmly grounded in meticulously calculated odds and not the whim of investors.

“The problem is that it is consensus that we need a selloff and consensus is rarely right,” said Tom Schrader, managing director at Stifel Nicolaus.

Brilliantly said Tom, bravo! Basically what Tom is saying, boys and girls, is that the consensus should be with him as opposed to people who disagree with him. But won’t that then be the consensus and make it wrong?

I’m sure glad I don’t have to spend my day taking huge risks with other people’s money. I don’t know how these brokers and financial advisors do it; their earnings are always in no risk.
