Comments on: Wall Street Pulls Off Stunning Comeback

Dow Gains Almost 300 Points After Earlier 320-Point Drop; Stimulus Plan Negotiated On The Hill

[mrsbrown000]

hey pa, lookee here, them politicians are gonna give us 300 dollars to stimulate the economy.
well aaawwll be dogged, 300 dollars, what you gonna buy ma?
i think i;ll buy me some louis vuiton luggage and a gucci handbag paw!
-------------------------------------------
the above scenario is what the politicians and their ilk in washington dc actually want to belief from their bubbleboy limited perspective.
9 trillion dollars and counting in an illegal war, outsourced jobs, no heath care, and to appease the unwashed masses they throw 300 dollars from the tops of their executive mansions.
300 dollars will pay for one weeks worth of cheap groceries from sav a lot. or perhaps interest on a chaked up credit card. or maybe one payment for susies cancer treatment.
i sure hope the us public can see thru these weasels.

You must not have any children. I cannot reason why you advocate to continue playing this game of globe economic illusion.

Not everyone knows how to the play the game and they are the ones that seriously lose.

Perhaps they are like me, they don''t want to play with a cheat, scoundrel, and a liar anyway.

. . . George Bush, Bush Sr., and Cheney are U.S. government and global mobsters - Global hijackers and thieves.

The Republicans were in control of Congress from 2001-2006 and wrote every last spending bill. Bush signed them all. Not a single veto in those wild spending years. Yes it IS his fault. Tax money doesn''''t get spent without his signature.

Please spare me the political party blame game. They all knew about the credit bubble since Nixon place this country off the Gold standard. Heck, nobody''s hands are clean - Britain, France, Asia Tigers and Russia.

The only difference with the Bushwacker is that explioted his power by taking corporate bribes and accept Arab gifts (Arabs 1.6 billion gift).

There is no ''spending'' deficit, there''s just a deficit (income-expenses). Bush cut taxes but DIDNT cut spending (which, by the way, is what really qualifies you as a ''small-government republican''). Reagans and Bushs deficits will require our children to PAY for their administrations (yes, even Reagans from 26 years ago). YOU BET I BLAME BUSH FOR THAT!!!

The thing is not many people know that and they panic and sell because they see only more loss ahead.

The reason the Dow Jones Industrial Average seems to be capable of huge drops and increases in the same day or shortly within each other is simple numbers.
15 yrs ago, the DJIA was a lot smaller, and there were less companies on the market.
As growth occurs over time, the fluctuations are larger.
5% change when the DJ is at 8000 was a frightening day back then. That would be around 400 pts.
400 pts today is much smaller percent but still seems huge. And yes its large, but its not a harbinger of death like it would be from a lower starting point.
400 pts off 12,200 is just 11,800 big deal, up and down 500-600 in a couple days.

Big deal ,the stupid points are ALWAYS down one day and up the next, so what?
Loses 1500 points today and then gains 2000 the next and loses 400 the next, BFD.
