Was there ANY doubt the markets would close higher today???

[redgtxdi]

I'm about 51% sure that some big guns out there were going to make sure NO MATTER WHAT that the market closed to the up side before this holiday weekend!!


Cars need to be sold!!!

Houses need to be improved!!!

Money needs to go into slot machines!!!

etc.
etc.
etc.

I should've found somebody to bet me the farm this morning on the trifecta that the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq would all close up today come hell or high water!!

:roll:

I'm up 2.8% in one of my Virtual Stock Exchange games 🙂

Still down like $1300 though, but that's ok....

OMG!!!!111
I predict that with all the high rolling investors we have here on ATOT, collectively they "Made" Billions today!

Uh.... when the market goes up, that does mean that we automatically make money, right? 😕

LOL

According to some random idiot in a StarCraft: Brood War chat channel, the stock market is controlled by the government and rich people, and they use it to make themselves richer. Glad to have it confirmed by a random forum idiot. 😉

Another guy in the channel claimed to have loads of money invested in BioTech companies. I asked which ones. He was quiet for a while, about long enough to do a Google search on BioTech companies, actually. 😉 He came back with a list that just happened to match the top ten BioTech companies listed on Yahoo!, if I recall correctly 😛

When I asked him about that, he said something along the lines of, "Oh, well I have a financial advisor that does all of that stuff for me, he's really smart so of course he picked the ten best ones!"
