Poll question: If Obama took aggressive action to punish and neuter Wall Street, how would market respond? |

Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 09:59 AM by yurbud
One thing that irked me when Geithner unveiled his cash for trash proposal was the newspapers made a big to do about the market shooting up, as if that is the only measure of success.
But how would the market respond if Obama enacted the regulation necessary to prevent this from happening again and limited speculative investing and encouraged long term investing? Wouldn't that be a short term drag on the market in spite of being necessary for our long term economic health and even survival as a democracy?

1. The market is controlled by selfish *astards who do not answer to Obama |

and will retaliate with even more robbing and thieving of the investors. Tin foil hat off now and back to work. Peace, Kim
