Ain't it a wonder, that this tragic mistake (as claimed by both political parties) of run-away spending reductions, would have such a positive effect on the economy? It couldn't be possible that investors are right in the feeling that paying off the bills is good for our country, could it? Of course, haphazard spending reductions are far worse than judicious budget planning, but this clearly shows that reducing spending is a far more valued commodity than how it is achieved.

-bought gold when bush was president, the worst/dumbest president e'va
-bought the obama stock market in march of 2009 after listening to limbaugh say the market was crashing because of obama's election
-sold the gold about a year ago after listening to the right wing radio and all the gold advertising they have, they are always wrong time to sell the gold
-now with all the gold advertising still on right wing radio i actually short the price of gold (i make money when the price of gold declines, i use GLL)
-simple republicans are DUMB, listen to right wing radio and do the opposite of what these idiots say/do

97% of capital gains enjoyed by top 5%.

Lets all applaud established status-quo of trickle-up economics.

Thank you to our leaders - Republicans in particular - for fighting so hard to retain our patriotic constitutional rights, freedoms & liberties to build and sustain 40 year increasing wealth gap.

Thank you Tea Party affiliates for taking the country back and returning it to Wall Street values.

Sleep good sheeple - sleep.

EmpireGeorge said: Now all of a sudden this is Obama ? what does Obama have to do with the stock market ? I'd love to hear this doosey.

Your comment betrays you by telling us you don't even know what role the government play in the economy such as providing legal framework for the economy to operate, encouraging competition, distributing scarce resources through tax and spend; maintaining economic growth, high employment, price stability and so on.

Government does this through taxation and fiscal policies such quantitative easing which in turn affect price fluctuation and employment, thus economic growth and the stock market anticipates and responds accordingly.

Obama is head of the Executive branch which runs and manages day-to-day economy through its taxation and fiscal policies. Get it?

Thank goodness President Obama won the election. If Romney had won, the Republicans would have started 2 or 3 more wars to appease the Defense Industry and we'd be in a near Depression by now!
