It went up so lets give the president the credit due since he "always" gets the blame when it goes down. Maybe we should also add that the markets are tired of the NO, NO, NO, attitude of the republican party so that could be another reason it went up! Works for me!:evilgrin:

10. You may be on to something |
|
his FUCK YOU to Wall Street might have burst the bubble they are living in. Nobody gives a fucking shit about those crooks unless they are on TV complaining about bonuses and how the President is going to steal from them. They may have realized that acting like petulant spoiled children won't cut it because they aren't our kids and we would be more likely to knock the fucking shit out of them than try to reason with them.

6. My guess is that there are normal investment advisors who really hate Cramer and his ilk |
|
because they are such god-awful representatives of their trade (kind of like Bill Frist is to the medical community) and they woke up in a really good mood after seeing them get there ass handed to them by TDS. Regular investment advisors (I am not one BTW) waste a lot of time explaining to people why they are not following Cramer et al. If you know one just say Susie Ormann to him and watch him go.

7. I heard he sneezed. Whatever happened, we know it was all his doing. They keep telling us the DOW |
|
dropped X points since he took office and it IS tied to him. I guess when/if it climbs back up to 9 or 10K, they'll change their tune.

13. Nothing. It's just another bogus "bear market" rally that will collapse |

according to Roubini and other credible economists.
