anyone notice the dow?

[blueknight]

dropping like a rock, while pres elect is speaking

1. I started watching earlier -it's going back up now n/t

[Dennis Donovan]

2. Of course, it has nothing to do with the jobs report or GM's losses...

:eyes:

[MaxFine]

3. I did notice

It dropped just about the same time as the press conference started

[Dogmudgeon]

4. It often changes drastically during Friday afternoon

That's been happening for years.

Obama will have to learn to avoid anything except bad news on Fridays. Otherwise, the markets may come to believe he's jinxed.

--p!

5. Nothing to be happy about yet.

And things are clearly going to be very very very bad before they begin to get better.

And he MIGHT say something about taking away their pretty bonuses.

6. You need to watch it more closely than when POTUS elect is talking man!

7. Anyone notice its stability and growth

the last time a Democrat was Presdient?

[Occam Bandage]

8. GM lost billions again. Retail numbers were awful. Jobs went down again.

Blaming that on Obama is preposterous.

9. Yeah, but it's rebounding.

I remember, however, watching the Dow the day one company (forgot which) laid off thousands of people.

It jumped quite a bit.

So, I don't take any one-day movement of the Dow to mean a damn thing. Plus, it seems the Dow doesn't care whether people work or not.
