stock market

You decide your "bottom line" message and then make every part of the speech reinforce that idea.

Got any good stock recommendations?

Mary, we are so fortunate to have such insightful people keeping us informed. I hope you put a good part of your life savings in the stock market in anticipation of the big surge. Surprise! Surprise! Don't you just love surprises? And you're teaching our childred too. What a bright future we have. Unless we're in for some of those surprises. Keep up the good work.

Care to revise this article, Ms Cary, or are you still cleaning your drool off the floor from the speech?

Ummm...

The S&P 500 has dropped 8.96% in 4 days since Obama delivered this speech. That is an annualized change of -99.66% per annum.

Dumbest Statement EVER Made....

Mary...Time to GET OFF the Kool-Aid and look at REALITY...Whenever NOBAMA has a problem, he gives a speech and lately his speeches aren't well liked by the market...The campaging is OVER..It is time to STOP campaigning and START doing...! Of course, he has no experience in doing ANYTHING but giving speeches, so I guess that is what he falls back on...OBAMA...One Big A**ed Mistake For America...!!

Kool-Aid

You're just supposed to drink the Kool-Aid Mary, not snort the powder.

Speech

Glad you aren't running my portfolio. You obviously don't have the slightest idea about economics or what makes this economy tick. You ought to be writing for the Daily Worker.

????

What are you talking about, Ms. Cary?

I am definetely not a republican, but I also don't think Obama should be focusing on the long term now. The crisis needs to be fixed with SHORT TERM measures, and the ones he is putting in place now are certainly NOT short term and NOT helping the markets.

Sounds like a obama-maniacs article.

Right - Obama messiah is bigger than the market. NOT!!!

Hahaha, are you even reading the comments?

DOW down ~300 and below 7k

Yep I would say Obama has caused the decline in the stock market to rise. Under Bush my 401k turned to 201k, Obama is on his way to leave me with a 1k.
