You dumb a.s.s.e.s The DOW is at it's record highs. Any excuse to bash the president. You are despicable.

[tnt1954]

stock market is manic-depressive and
schizophrenic. two sided personality, it goes
way up, and way down, like a teeter totter.
guys at bottom get off, and the guys at top
come crashing down on their iron balls.
it has multiple personality disorder too.
it was abused as a child. soviet secret service
is right now, dismantling our economic system.
for our own good. behave.

Bare Emperor - Are you really that stupid? The market never made a small dip under any other president? You are an ignoramous that focuses on the negative. I knew people like you existed but to actually read this sort of stupidity is amazing to me. You are just like the Muslim terrorists filled with hatred. You can not be reasoned with. I will pray for you.

Where are all the bragging bush-licking republicans now?

Hey do not forget the baby boomers are starting to retire and pull their retirement and 401 K money, you think these financial predatorily institutions are expecting to really pay all that equity and to the owner when due hope so? Alan Greenspan continued to warn and reference those dollars as paper money perceived wealth did him not. Also with over now half of our national Repug deficit, from the deficits do not matter Administration which increase our debt by 600 percent while borrowing foreign capital, get ready for a wild ride. Thank you again Mr. Cheney for your additional expertise on finance and your constantly absurdly wrong self absorbed delusional policy opinions.

btw, if you thought the 1930s Depression was something, wait till you see what's in store for the US. At least they had jobs in the 30s and we manufactured our own goods.

The bomb is getting ready to drop on America...

This should come as no surprise. Economists have been warning this would happen - and worse to come - for the past 5 years. I've known since Bush stole the election, plunged us into an illegal war, and squandered our money to give to his cronies. Every country in the world is backed by gold. America has dwindled ours and that money in your pocket is nothing but useless paper. Your government has never forgotten this and neither should you.

Best course at this point: pay off all debts immediately and incur no more, work from home, move out of the inner cities, buy in bulk, stop watching mainstream media and go toward Keith Olbermann and Bill Moyer. Elections are all fixed, but it's best to avoid dems and repubs due to scandals and bribery - they are one and the same, except for Ron Paul. For entertainment: stay home and play games with family, friends and neighbors. Grow as much of your own food as possible, and don't eat out - at least you'll know it's pure.

Secure your homes (thieves will become prevalent with the collapse of the system), barter with neighbors for food and goods, focus on your health and get off any medications. Start investing in emergency food and supplies in the event of war, disaster or some other crisis that will take care of you for a month or two. Realize that the Mormons, Muslims (in America)and back-to-nature throwbacks from the 60s were on to something about self-preservation and keeping healthy.

What does one expect from a service economy that produces nothing tangible and only sustains itself by pushing money around while taking a small piece with each move.

[prairiefox1]

Just what do they expect? They have gouged the public with their excessive gas prices which results in the prices for food and every thing else to rise till the public has to spend less due to the gas prices being set with the futures market or if one of them has a dream that the prices will go up then we the public has to pay more! I JUST HOPE THE DOW FALLS TO 3000!

Something is horribly wrong with our economy...
The market is extremely unstable, and the flucctuations are becoming larger and larger by the day. Meanwhile the price of oil is shooting higher and home foreclosures are increasing. The years of greed, corporate handouts and artificial market manipulation that the Bush administration and republicans have allowed to take place will catch up with them... It's only a matter of time before the bubble that is the american economy bursts.

The crash has begun...

It's only going to get worse

"lets give these dice rollers our social security!!
Posted by ainttaken at 02:52 PM : Jul 26, 2007"

What social security? You mean that 30 trillion dollar IOU? That and a five dollar bill will buy you a cup of coffee.

Social Security is a pay-as-you-go program where today's retirees extort money from current workers and the current workers are supposed to do the same to the next generation.

Unfortunately, it is a pyramid scam that depends on having more children in every generation. Since the baby boomers didn't have enough children, they don't get to retire. Have fun working until you die!

Checking our 401 K balances and portfolios what else?

[hypnotoad72]

-359 as of now.

I don't expect it crashing any time soon, but I do fathom more big roller coaster ups and downs.

[killtheliars]

so i guess the NYSE will just impose trading curbes again. Hey how come the fact that they had to do so yesterday was not a headline today? Also how is it legal to tell me I cannot sell off what is mine when I see fit to do so. I am in it for my personal profit, I really don't care about the overall effect on the economy.
