DOW - down 300 - up 400 - down 500 - ?????

[SmileyRose]

So it's getting to the point where even the wingnut idiotic niece of the business owner given some lamo VP of paperclips title told us all in complete outrage that the betters on Wall Street are just playing games so they can make a killing on the bets. In the meantime they are ruining the whole world's economy.

Naturally she thinks this is all "Hussein Obama's" doing (terrorist and black dude) - and naturally she conveniently could not comprehend this when Pres Stupidass was in the hot seat.

But when even the wingers start to finally see it for what it is then part of the job is done. The only thing left is to bash our heads against the wall helping the twits see that the Republicans spent 30 years passing laws to create this very financial environment.

1. Expect this sort of thing for a month or so...

the big guys are selling in order to be able to buy when the bottom comes in sight...that means they will likely dump every time there is an intraday rally.

5. Heh

public school graduate here. :) Yeah, my grammar and spelling are awful but I do my best.

I'll leave as is but thanks. I don't think I've ever seen "bettors" before. :)

8. I'm a public school grad here as well and don't see it as smiley reason

for you implication of poor education. My education was entirely public and my education was/is just fine, thank you. That being said about schools, I understand not everyone gets spelling and grammar and I've no problem at all with that, we are all unique and have our strengths and weaknesses.

9. PS..I guess with all that's been going on lately, I'm a little over-sensitive

to the idea that "public" education is somehow bad. It isn't, at least it wasn't until the late 80s early 90s anyway. It's the principles and the way we treat teachers that assures we get exactly what we pay for, and that burns me that we are a society that becries the needs and wonderfulness and oh, my THE CHILDREN, and yet we can't bother to give their education the priority we give wars, or banks, or ........

3. VP of Paperclips?

:rofl: I am SO stealing that one.

As to your point, it seems to be bubbling to the surface, doesn't it?

It will be easier to start their rehab by laying blame where blame is due though. While the Republicans dreamed this all up, NAFTA and wall street/banking deregulation would not have been able to happen without Dems, and Dems aren't exactly standing up enmasse to undo any of that right now. They are all complicit in this.

4. Point well taken.

I stole VP of paperclips from a really old clip art book I had 30 years ago. :)
