#30 J, since you have no ability to comprehend the stock market, why do you continue to post on this topic?
# 31 Paddy the Ignorant Shit Talker.
You really are running thin on the rebuttals aren’t you?
Would you like to compare knowledge of the stock market too Paddy Cake? I am certain you would lose so, I am game if you like.
#32 Your response shows your lack of knowledge. Thank you for verifying it for us.

You’re voting for Obama, right? And, you want the market to do well right?

Unless you have a time machine I don’t see the validity of those questions.
#40 J said, “I don’t see the validity of those questions.”
That’s because you lack understanding of the stock market.
Thanks for verifying.

“That’s because you lack understanding of the stock market.”
Who I vote for is only relevant if you can see into the future and evaluate the performance of the winning candidate.
So, who I vote for and whether I want the stock market to do well are not valid as evidence of my knowledge.
Sorry Loser! Play Again!

Not all of us live in our mom’s basement like you do brendal.
It seems to me that a market correction was predicted months or years ago. And that the market was over-valued, and would return to pre-2000 levels one day. But when it threatened to occur before Wall Street insiders were ready for it, the government had to step in and save their bacon. What the hell happened to letting the market do its own thing? Why they pulled the stops off of the Default Swaps. And while that was running Wall Street amok, nothing was done to curb it. Only when collapse became unavoidable, did the US government step in to protect the major investors from bankruptcy. People are still losing their homes, jobs, pensions, small businesses. It’s 1929 all over again. Protecting the rich first. Rather than letting them suffer alone with the rest of us. This crap will prolong the “recession”, again!
#46, You are correct.
There was a law passed a couple of years ago that wouldn’t take effect until 2011. The bailout made them effective immediately.
One of the most interesting parts was no longer requiring banks to keep money on hand for deposits. “We aren’t bankrupt, we’re just out of money.” There is no need for the FDIC to bailout them out if they aren’t bankrupt.
