   Steve forgets the Bull. Collective amnesia on the right.

   Pfft! Up, down, up again, then down – that’s how the game is played and the rubes are bilked. Look at the gas-prices…

   Yawn. The stock market falls at the beginning of every fourth quarter and rises before bonuses are awarded. It has almost nothing to do with politics. (Ask Bill Clinton.)

   Yet is it so much fun for the r/w to blame Democrats. It’s just their nature.

   There were actual things – policies, stripping of proven regulations – which led to the crisis. They deserve blame (since nobody’s going to imprison them). The vagaries of the Stock market is nothing more than a gambling club that contributes nothing to the country.

   The markets are reflecting the general opinion that the GOPers are too stupid to compromise on the coming fiscal “cliff”, for fear a billionaire might have to pay a tiny bit more, each April 15th.

   That is the problem with most American corporations, no long range vision about market share. It caused the auto/real estate meltdowns

   So you admit it’s just your nature to blame.

    It’s almost as if something happened 3 days ago that threatens the entire economy!
    What could that be?

    If the DOW actually had intelligence, don’t you think it would have crashed before the election?

    It’s going back up a little today. I always find it interesting that every drop is ’tragedy" and panic, while an equal rise the next day, or the next week, is ignored by the media.

    “It’s going back up a little today.”
    Probably index traders cashing in on their short positions.
