ZenLunatic Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 DOW back up to 9000. The volatility is just nuts. You have to be a total professional/gambler if you're gonna trade in this market. There is so much yet to be unravelled, I dont think you can predict anything at this point. 2009 will be incredibly interesting. Obama will be the known as the president of the next depression.

Moe_Syzlak Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Where's IBD Editorial today on the market reacting to a possible Obama Presidency? Oh right, they only blame him when it goes bad! BTW, this is not good, in my opinion. Volatility is bad, mmmkay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZenLunatic Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I saw that last night and it's probably right. Also have to note all the refinanced mortgages that have failed.

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 We poured trillions and about to pour more trillions and it just makes things worse.The mortgages from years ago are not caused by the bailout. What evidence do you have that the bailouts have made things worse, other than an ideological assertion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the free market ideals Bush subscribes to worked in the first place, he wouldn't need to sacrifice them. If the free market ideals work -- period! -- why would he need to sacrifice them to save the economy?
