I hope you were not mocking me. If we were going to do this shite the right way we should have had Ron Paul as president to handle our economic problems.

my first foray into the market was putting my pocket change into a DRIP with general electric when i was a freshman at CHS about four months after the 1987 crash .. i didn't put a whole lot in at the time, but when that bitch started spliting it was gold ..

It took about 30 years for the crash of 1929 to be brought back, and that doesn't account for inflation.

Well, at least we can agree on that. Hell I would have settled for the Mormon. I got NO confidence in either of the two choices we had.

The market didn't drop down this low on W's watch


Yes it did. Drpped about 29% from Oct to jan. 20. Has dropped about 15% since jan 20.

Anybody that knows about the stock market knows the price reflects expectations.


I expect it to be bad for some time. So yes, the stock market should be going down.

quote:

Since Obama has been in office expectations have dropped.


I think its a continuation of the last 6 months and really the last 18 months.

The fact is, the credit markets have loosened somewhat since Obama took over. This is more important than the stock market right now. And somsumer spending was up last month. I think that is a blip but still better than down.

What are some of the indicators we are going to be looking for that a slow in the fall is coming? With layoffs growing I can not see consumer spending continuing to rise for any length of time.

If you do that, inflation may render your retirement stash little more than a large pile of rolling paper.


A zero % return kicks the crap out going long on equities for the past 10 years.

One thing it seems nobody is talking about recently is the possibility we will never reach the recent highs set by equities. With the world relying on one primary source of energy for the past century (oil) which also happens to be finite, what if we have reached some kind of plateau in growth?
