No politics or partisanship here, âjust the facts maâamâ. The stock market as measured by the S&P500 is up just about 50 percent since President Obamaâs inauguration to todayâs close. Only Eisenhowser comes close, but not even in the same zip code. A 50 percent stock move does a lot âspreading the wealth aroundâ and Joe the Plumberâs pension is in much better shape today than it was in November 2008!
Sure, sure, there are a ton of reasons to explain the differences, but this is politics folks! A CapEX spending led economic acceleration and pick-up in hiring in 2011, which usually follows such a strong equity performance, will make the President look unbeatable same time next year, in our opinion. Stay tuned.
Quote from denner:
I slam all things that are a burden upon the individual, both parties have grown the public sector to extremes over the past 10-20 years. It just so happens that since you are a Democrat and paranoid, you have taken those remarks personally. If I slam corporate cronyism, a Republican will probably come along and take that personally. If I slam wasteful war spending in a "war economy" which is what we operate, then I will be called a liberal.
So tell me what's dishonest, AT ALL, about calling myself a Libertarian. If I am for a drastic reduction in the size and scope of government, then I am clearly not a part of either party. I side with no special interests, I'm not captive to any of the idiotic diatribe between the two parties.
Wake up, Tinfoil.
come on man. think a little bit before you post. obama had every oppertunity to appoint someone other than bernanke as fed chair. one has to presume that obama approves and maybe even directed what bernanke is doing.Quote from John_Wensink:
If you believe that you clearly have no fundamental understanding of the market.
If anything, his and the democrats poor policies are holding the market back.
If you want to than somebody thank bernanke for the low rates and liquidity.
Quote from trefoil:
Bullshit, bullshit, and more utter, steaming, bullshit.
I could do a search of your posts for Koch Industries or any mention thereof of their influence: you and I both know it would come up dry as dust.
You are a tool, their mouthpiece.
