Half of the market bounce today is because of Obama's pro-rescue speech |
|
He showed leadership.
Described the situation clearly.
Laid out the rescue plan in plain English.
Talked about the protections for the taxpayer.
Talked about increasing the FDIC limit to $250K.
The market was around +200 when he started speaking.... it's around +400 now.
The market is showing optimism that Obama can flip a dozen Democratic votes from no to yes on the rescue plan.
....and when he does.... and it passes.... HE'LL get all the credit. And the McCain camp will be left out in the cold.
Chess vs. Checkers.
McCain played checkers with his "suspend the campaign" stunt.
Obama's playing a different game.

5. Bargain hunters picking at the carcas this morning.... |
|
Went up 200 right away.... and stayed right around there for 4 hours.
Then Obama spoke, and it has spiked up to 400 since then.
