Dow closes down 19, NASDAQ down 31 today. |
|
The predictions were for a strong "up" finish today. The experts didn't take into consideration what a misfit we have in the White House. If we had a real president our economy wouldn't be in the toilet. Crawford, please come and take your village idiot back.

1. 'm stock market-ly challenged |
|
but I would have thought the markets would go UP because of Saddam...could they have gone DOWN because everyone realized it was OSAMA BIN LADEN who was responsible for 9/11???

3. I can't say I'm happy about this BUT |
|
even though I have 10s of thousands in retirement, I think that the supposed wonks are a bunch of idiots.
If any exec's on the news wires are interested I can generate the same level of crap produced and sent to the media 4 times in an 8 hour news cycle, and Ill do it for $35K
Think about it.

5. It Went Down Because The Market's Overpriced |
|
because of low interest rates, which everyone knows will shoot up next year. So, from here on out, it's like a game of chicken. It will spike up and down throughout the year before crashing hard some time in 2005.

7. Normally, the market closing down would bum me out, however... |
|
...this just proves that Saddam's capture is a non-event - no effect on the markets, on Iraq's stability, on the coming presidential election...
Just as I said repeatedly in GD yesterday...
