Hope and Change Update- Dow Jones at 10,000

I'm amused when highly politically partisan people make generalized statements. They usually have no real arguments to make or anything of real value to add to the discussion.

Funny how that works

10,000?

Thats where it was nine years ago when the Republicans took control

Eight years later.........8000

Now THAT was change

Tell me about, did you see how the market fell right after Papa Obama got elected?
Two can play your stupid game.

The market was recovering nicely right up to Jan 19, 2010. Then after the polls closed and Scott Brown was declared the winner the market crashed. :eusa_whistle:

That's what I mean.

The market has gotten crushed since Scott Brown got elected, going down almost every single day. I've heard that as a legitimate reason - that the Republicans will slash and burn and delay everything since they have a vested interest in seeing the economy do poorly - but I don't buy it. However, highly partisan people will. Political people will always find some event as confirmation bias to support their view.

I loved how the CON$ were predicting a stock market boom if Brown was elected.

Here's a funny bit from Jon Stewart on Jim Cramer's prediction.

I see what you mean about partisan people



I'm amused when highly politically partisan people talk about the stock market. They usually don't know much.



Oh wait, you didn't mean yourself did you?

Thank you for the link that shows that my "skill set" includes the ability to calculate the TRUE yearly debt in spite of all of Bush's accounting TRICKS to hide it.

Sorry about the comprehension problem.

You mean writing skills , unless you meant "highly politically partisan people" from both the left and right

Seems like the Dow dropped below that 10,000 mark today.

But I truly don't blame any President, just their policies at times. I do believe the market would have gone up regardless of who was President. The speed of the recovery would be different though. I don't expect we'll see 14,000 this year.
