So everyone knows that Saddam's kiddies have been slaughtered... but some trix on CNN, had to say that Financial Markets Rose a lot today after the news of their deaths.... what kind of B.S. is that?

Does anyone else think that is insane?

Insane? No. Expected? Yes. I don't know how all of the economy works, and I don't know how the stock market works. But any news of U.S. goals achieved gives me more reason to invest in it.

I'm just amazed at the correlation between rising money markets and the death of two guys.

would you prefer the markets had gone down? The news was "good news" for the country as a whole (and thus the economy), so why shouldn't the market have reacted positively?

The Dow closed up about 61 points today. Earnings reports are in, and many are favorable. Hardly a strong show of support by Wall Street.

Nope, I think it's perfectly reasonable.

Though it is likely true, Stock Markets use any excuse to party, I'm always a little suspicious of what analysts attribute to Market Ups and Downs.

Why would it be insane? These weren't toddlers playing soccer and drinking their juicy juice, they were at the top of Iraq's leadership just under Saddam, and their deaths are a blow to the morale and possibly the organization of Iraqi guerilla forces.

Just a suggestion, but stay away from the stock market -- S&P 500 mutual funds like VFINX are as close as you should get.

  • Market Jumps Because Of Death?
  • Two Dead, Market Up 50 Points!
  • WTF, DOW Rises Due To Hussein's Son's Deaths!
I've been impressed by the improvement of topic titles over thw last year. As a rule, I don't click such pathetic titles as, "Look At This" or "Wow, This Sucks". Bored tonight I guess. <shrug>
