Poll question: "The recent Stock Market activity has me...." |

Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 06:22 PM by A HERETIC I AM
On edit to say that this is just a silly poll, and not a commentary on the economy as a whole nor is it aimed at a specific exchange or index. I'm just curious how many will vote on a particular, albeit curiously worded, choice, that's all

1. The DJIA or the S&P 500? IMHO, the DJIA is still overvalued, but the S&P is more... |
|
closely matching market fundamentals. The DJIA is skewed towards wealthy investors, so its performance has matched less and less closely with the performance of the economy at large, but the S&P reflects a broader portrait of investors and thus more closely reflects the economy.

2. The stock market is not the economy. |
|
But given the mantra "pulling one's self up by one's bootstraps", giving these companies a free ride for their blatant and overextended greed should not be up to the government to fix.
If stocks are dropping over fears of inflation and a weaker dollar, cutting federal interest rates again sure as hell won't solve anything.
Some of the people who took the loans have their responsibility too.
But those loan companies have a part to play as well.
