  • Let the Good Times Roll!

    The DJIA just rose above 10,000!!

    On Feb. 1, 2009, it was way down at 8,000.
    We've had a 25% increase in stock prices in just 8 1/2 months!
    And the stock market is a leading indicator.

    There's good times ahead!

        The really funny part was Fox News claiming the DOW going over 10,000 was "The Bush Recovery"!

        Yep, for months and months Fox said that the DOW being down was President Obama's fault as if there was no global financial crisis or a recession which started in Nov 2007. Now Fox claims that the DOW once again going past 10,000 is proof that Bush's tax cuts in 2001 are working so this is "The Bush Recovery"! Yes folks, Fox says the recession which started in late 2007 is Obama's fault but now the recovery in 2009 is Bush's recovery. This, of course, ignores all history and reason but that is typical for Fox News.

                It just happened today so right now all I can find is a screen shot posted on Think Progress but I'm sure video will be up shortly.

                    Is this a joke? The recession is still ongoing for me and many other people I know who are still looking for full time work. But I guess the job market doesn't matter to retired baby boomers who are far so ****ing self absorbed, they only use their own stock portfolio to gage "good times".

                        It's a leading indicator. Investors are putting their money where they think the economy is going rather then where it is right now.

                          Or where their dollars won't depreciate in value that much relative to other currencies because of Federal Reserve balance sheet expansion. Leading indicator of nothing but speculation.

                            .....although if you examine the figures for VOLUME (small, diminishing with time, and made up of High Frequency Trading programs), this is a market driven by a few large institutional investors.

                            Hmmmmm.....do we know of any large institutional investors who just received large amounts of money?

                            The question is should public money really be dumped into the stock market?

                            I'll point out again the incredible highs in nominal price reached by the stock exchanges of Weimar Germany and Zimbabwe.
