Thatretirement fund will invariably include investements in stocks and bonds. Contrary to your statement, the majority of employed Americans are invested in the stock market. Unless you have an insured pension plan and rent a house both the stock market and the housing market will affect you.<BR/><BR/>More importantly the stocks that are sold create capital flow that allows existing businesses to expand and hire more people or new venture companies to start, and hire more people.<BR/><BR/>Thus the market is a palpable index of the country's economic health.<BR/><BR/>When you are young and have the wind in your hair your only thoughts are about the night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246815172385311622.post-89293753884291660512009-03-04T10:21:00.000-05:002009-03-04T10:21:00.000-05:00Oh, and also, cross-post this one too please -- th...Oh, and also, cross-post this one too please -- thanks!!Frauleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905145889568999476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246815172385311622.post-61140590793378742122009-03-04T10:10:00.000-05:002009-03-04T10:10:00.000-05:00Yep, Matt, that's exactly right.

As soon as he took office, the Republicans began blaming all the ills of the world on him. And then later, of course, on the Clenis. <BR/><BR/>I'm hoping I'm not being naive here, but I'm trying to cling to the hope that many Americans have grown up a bit since that time, and are not going to fall for this shit again. Those who do I think are among the most hopeless of the dead-enders -- the ones who think Sarah Palin and our buddy 'Bobby' Jindal represent the best and the brightest of the GOP. Those people are too far gone to reach -- but the good thing is, they are most decidedly in the minority now.Frauleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905145889568999476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246815172385311622.post-41621778338357180842009-03-04T03:06:00.000-05:002009-03-04T03:06:00.000-05:00At this point, it's clear that the conservative me...At this point, it's clear that the conservative media strategy is to throw feces until something sticks to Obama.<BR/><BR/>Of course, if the Dow is at 10,000 by December it will be because the GOP...um...exists.
