Dow Hits 32-Month High - Dave have you been investing again?

Yaba Daba Do!

my portfolio is getting close to it's all time high!

when you get to be my age, this is important, because it means you can RETIRE sooner, after which i will immediately become a Democrat..medicare!, benefits!, TAX THE RICH, drug supplement benefits.

HAHAHA I just realized that right around the time many of you idealist liberals grow up (start paying taxes), and become conservatives, I will retire and start suckling at the goverment teat!! I willl be enjoying the benefits afforded to me by YOUR tax dollars..HAHAHHA

 
Question is will the Rich Boys keep playing with their Monopoly money or pull it backout again. As the Roller Coaster continues...
 
what more good economic news? couple this with how bad the war on terror is going for al queada, this is bad news for democrats.
 
I always find it interesting seeing who is posting in what threads and how certain people avoid certain topics like the plague 😉

You sound like a 12 year old. I don't know if you're a heartsurgeon or not, but if you are probably shouldn't complain about helping someone out who is alot less fortunate than you. I certainly know when I get out of my residency I will help out others who have been less fortunate and won't grumble about not being able to get a new car this month.

[sarcasm]As a Democrat I definitely don't want the economy to be good. I don't have money invested in stocks and I certainly wouldn't want to see the American people benefit[/sarcasm]

Thats great! Helping others of your own free will and out of kindness is commendable. I think you didn't understand what he posted though. It wasn't about helping people - it was about becoming old and sucking off the gov't teet and voting for more teet to suckle.

Atlanta-based Coca-Cola says it cut an additional 900 jobs in the fourth quarter.

Those cuts, which bring the total number of jobs shed by Coke in the last year to 37-hundred, were not previously announced. Since last March, Coke has announced job cuts across several divisions.

See what your cheap labor modems are doing dave?

Oh, and what does that have to do with the DOW hitting a 32month high?

Wow a 32 month high doesn't that mean it used to be higher? Of course with inflation and week dollar it is really that special.

I want you to remember those words well my friend...when medicare reimbursement drops, your office staff are grumbling about getting a payraise, you're malpractice carrier drops you because it's stopped writing policies in the state in which you practice, and the fourth patient in a row comes into your office (with a pack of cigarettes in his pocket) asking for free medication samples, and "has no insurance"...you'll be singing a different tune....oh ya, how about throwing in a couple of malpractice lawsuits that are utterly baseless to mess with your "i won't grumble" attitude...

by the way, i contribute plenty to charities, i see tons of patients that can't/don't pay, i've paid more in income taxes that you'll probably every make...it's my constitutional right to grumble all i want...First Amendment - Freedom of speech...

You sound like a 12 year old

You sound like a 20 year old! HAHAHAHA.
 
A one day rise in a 3 year span of downright pure crap in the economy and you people think everyhing is rosey? Had to be a partisen republican that printed those headlines. When you see a year of steady growth and unemployment at 3% again, then you can shout hallelua. Ubtil then, this is a blip on the radar screen, not a trend.

Believe me, I wish it weren't so. We need jobs and less corporate greed before this economy turns around for the good of America.

guess what, the stock market is not the economy. and the past few months of steady growth(in the economy) is not steady growth?

here is a trick question for you, was the economy good or bad in 1999?

i swear watching the dems try to spin on this is serious entertainment.

Tripleshot, I would at least expect you to do a little research, before making ridiculous statements like this. Refer to the CAD link above for starters.

It's not just a stock report TS, anytime there is any kind of a News write up like this they use it as Loudspeaker to declare that everything is fin, that the Economy is "Soaring, Booming and Sizzling", no one is out of work, wages are highest ever etc etc.

You heard the President, he said 2.6 Million jobs will be created this year, he said the same thing last year so it has to be true, CAD & CO, Rush, Hannity all believe him to the point they would jump off the Bridge they all have shares in.

No, what is REALLY funny is watching you cons trying to convince the millions of Americans out of work that things are great. Like they give 2 $hits about the stock market. Stock markety trends, up or down, does not put food on the table for the VAST majority of Americans. Most people who are fortunate enough to have some kind of retirement plan, be it 401K, tiaa-cref, fill in the blank... will never see any of this up and down money till they are 65 anyway. I know we have gained and lost then gained some back over the past 4 years. However, our money vested in the stock market option of our tiaa-cref is only as good as that number is the day my wife turns 65 so please, spare us the links to your rose colored articles.

So what your saying is that YOU are invested in the stock market!..good for you..now the sad part is you don't understand the importance of your investment because you can't spend it today...the money is real, it will have a real effect on your standard of living when you retire. your investment in your retirement account should double every ten years! you should be interested in how the market does, because your retirement, the entire U.S. and world economies, and YOUR JOB depends on the market ....ignorance can be the only explanation why someone would not be interested in the stock market and its upward advance. The stock market puts food on everyones table, and determines how much they are going to pay for it. the dow jones industrial average is the actualy the "mood" of the world economy..it is a single indicator of ALL economic information about the largest economy in the world....when the stock market goes up...ITS GOOD FOR EVERYONE, inverstor and non-investor alike...and rest assured that when the market goes up, new jobs are created, and when the market goes down, people lose their jobs....you have to be a luddite to think otherwise. not only jobs are effected by the market, bonds are, your home mortgage rate is, ...

how come you guys aren't giving Bush credit for your incredibly low home mortgage rates? oh, i forgot, most of you live with mom and dad, or in a dorm..plus, when ever it's good news "Bush has nothing to do with the economy"

yea, yea, yea
 
The whole scenario speaks to the growing disconnect between the financial elite and the rest of us. At one time, their welfare and ours were intimately intetwined. That's no longer the case- their welfare depends largely on the ability to show a profit at the international level, the average American's depends on the ability to make a living at the local or regional level.

The current surge in the market reflects a growing profit margin achieved at the expense of American workers, rather than one achieved with their participation. Unemployment remains high, unlike past recoveries, and the growing number of underemployed partially masks that phenomenon. Health care coverage has fallen, while worker copays have increased, and Economy growth sectors offer lower average wages than losing sectors, too.

Large tax cuts on the upper echelons also increase market activity, if not actually adding any real value to the shares being traded. As we've seen with Lucent, WorldCom, Enron and others, stock price is more an issue of perception and manipulation than of real value... When the money supply of the stock trading segment of the population is increased, as it has been with the taxcuts, it's only natural that prices will rise...

Talk to me about the improving economy when there are some significant increases in employment, when wages and health care coverages are increasing and personal bankruptcies showing significant decreases. Otherwise, you're just pumping sunshine up our skirts...
