Why the Dow is Hitting 10,000 While Everyone Else is Cutting Back

Why the Dow is Hitting 10,000 While Everyone Else is Cutting Back

Commented Sep 22, 2009 at 18:45:24 in Business

“hello the dow reaching over 10k is a good thing whether you are on wall street or a regular joe the strength of our economy is important I think we need to refresher in macro economics. unemployment is a issue that needs to be address in a big way but positive things happenings in other areas is a good thing and will lead to more jobs because jobs are not created when the dow is low thats reality”

“The strength of what economy? Maybe you haven't been to your favorite restaurant lately. Oh, that's right they closed.”

“The Dow being up used to be a good thing. But, based on current business practices, macro-economic textbooks need to be re-written. There is a decent chance that a lot of the execs and stock holders will just cash out rather than let the money "trickle down" to jobs.

And we already that wealth doesn't trickle down.”

Latinos to CNN: Dump Dobbs Now

Commented Sep 18, 2009 at 09:19:07 in Media

“First of all its not about kicking someone out because they say things we dont know like its about a news anchor misrepresenting the facts to serve there own self interest. Its about CNN's Mr independent has choose not to be a right wing nut job he needs a job on fox news. As much as Rachel Keith and Chris are liberal reporters the facts are the facts they dont twist them also they take on the president not only when the public agrees with them. Im a independent and Lou Dobbs is definitely NOT and his research is lacking. Moreover, to think that democrats are in favor of illegal aliens bombarding out country your sadly mistaking but our government has allowed this to happen and need to handle in a responsible way. I agree not knowing english is a issue”

“Is Krugman too liberal to be affective is my question??­??????????­?? I dont mind liberal but everyday we hear Obama is spending us into socialism and Krugman believes they are not spending enough. Isnt that the problem with him? I liked him during the elections”

“actually”

einzelgaenger replied on Mar 26, 2009 at 20:14:24

“Being an opinion columnist is a little like being a color commentato­r... much easier than coaching the team or playing in it. I happen to agree with Krugman on much of this but would appreciate his taking the time to put forward a plan in detail that could actually work.

I would actually have preferred an economist to a financier/banker (or regulator thereof) in charge of the Treasury. But there aren't many economists who can actually make up their minds enough to lead an agency... maybe that's too "leftist??" (As a disclaimer, I know one personally who actually could, but this is a rather rare occurrence in the species)”

“Its really hard for me to believe that Obama is in the sack with wallstreet if you look at the polls they will agree with me. He has not sold us out but cleaning up this decade of sh** I am sorry but my 401k felt alittle better today and the market is an indicator that this administration has to deal with everyday so they cant toss wallstreet to the crib. For one second stop being a columnist and put yourself in the administrations position everyday job reports, auto industry, healthcare, companies closing left and right with half of the nation simply idiots that turn on fox news or listen to right wing radio to channel their energy at you and all you want to do is help the country by investing is the sector that has been left out for the last eight years. Maybe Geithner is the one you would choose but Obama did and your column is more John Mccain then Barack Obama some impulsive firing of people who make a mistakes to make a point.”

“9 out of 10 are giving bonus back ---non issue now
Ariana--
I think you are playing politics and alowing the right wing to scare you in corner. First of all, Obama can not make the banks lend money our treasury has to be creative to keep money flowing and credit flowing. The media induce outrage is due to the corporate culture that can not be changed over night when its been going on since Nixon. We hired Obama to do a job and pick people who he thinks can do the job and if he feel Geithner is the one we should give the guy a chance its not about old vs. new its about right vs. wrong. It was not only the people that bush hired that was the problem it was they were unwilling to do the right thing by this country.”
