What does it mean when a major player (dubai world) says it has debt issues yet all the markets rise

[ShamelessHussy]

not to mention...

1. 2 wars in the ME (with the threat of more on the way)
2. Shocking climate change models prove to be too conservative
3. U.S. modeled global economic system under severe strain for over a year
4. Oil way above $50 a barrel, with the only trend-line being north for most of this decade
5. the ubiquitous rise of NONSENSE media (gov, news and entertainment)
6. American liberties abandoned, accept for lip service
7. 1 in 4 children in the U.S. on food stamps :'(
8. Obama says though afghanistan elections were marred by fraud, it is consistent with our values :shakes-head: (i guess he just answered my question)

feel free to add to the list, but I just wonder what DU's take is on all this... to me almost everything coming from official channels these days seems to be a scam, how can we change this?

or, perhaps, it's all in my head... shrug:

if so, then please talk me down.

thank you DU :hi:

1. Suckers are buying

This is a game of nerves, and last one to buy gets left holding the (empty) bag.

4. do you see it going below it's low of this year?

and do you think we are in for a 'W' chart (how terribly sad, yet fitting considering who led us to this point) recession or a 'V'?

[izquierdista]

5. Actually, it's an 'L'

Some forecasters were predicting an L type recovery, a sharp dip to the minimum (last March) and a slow, years long slog back up to the highs of 2007. If there is sufficient new investment (like green technologies), that could be likely. Otherwise, if Repubs succeed in starving the beast, we are in for another leg down.

6. we went down to 6k, and are now back up to 10k, which is currently a 'V'

if there is another big dip in the next year, that will mean a 'W', or worse.

2. Hm.

3. hmmm...

i've always had a problem with averting my eyes, though ;)
