This S & P 500 Chart Pretty Much Says It All

Oil prices will be down below $ 85 pretty soon. Guess that makes Iran, OPEC, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, China, North Korea very sad. Of course, I blame our current economic crisis on GREEDY Wall Street criminals. But foreign enemies are playing hardball, too. They have set up hundreds of dummy corporations, hedge funds, trading entities, and banks to manipulate stock markets. This will take bloody chunks out of their buttocks very soon.

I say: Line all the greedy crooks up against a brick wall pitted with bullet holes . . .
