Dow tops 11,000.

Hmmmmm?

Good thing I ignored that dumbass Glenn Becks advice and began investing heavily when the market hit bottom. I wouldn't be making money hand-over-fist right now. I think I'll go buy me a big ol' ceegar, pop a bottle o' vino and take the day off. After all, I can well afford it.

And to think this is happening while Obama is trying to destroy the country. I guess the markets think differently. What will the great Maharishi Limbaugh have to say about this?

It is nice to see black ink on our IRA quarterly reports.

And, before anyone gets started;---Jobs trail the market. Always have, always will.

And, I know, yes I do realize that it is still too early to go and throw a party. I just can't help myself, when I check my investments and see that I made a grand, or so.--------In my sleep, and in a single day.

Regards,
Dave

I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be loud, abusive, and totally negative.

What an asshole...

And all of this time I thought that the price of oil was going up due to increased demand.

If the market mirrors inflation, as some suggest, it will most likely go through the roof. Unless something happens, like the Eurozone collapses, or we get a shootin' war in Iran, or a thousand other things.

I'm certainly happy to see it recovering, but I ain't buying a new truck. Not until I see some REAL economic growth.

Whether Obama is standing in the right place, or the wrong place, when events dictate what the market does is inconsequential.

Look at the volume not the price. It isn't us regular folks affecting the market.

I believe the last time "regular folks" had any effect on Wall Street was back in 1940.
