Bonds anyone? Yields have been down, they are looking better every day...at least you aren’t losing 3% in one fell swoop even on a weak day. Ouch!!

Why doesn’t Obama get credit for the economy?

“Looks like I picked a bad day to lose my job.”

If it’s true that you lost your job today, I truly am sorry.

“Why doesn’t Obama get credit for the economy?”

Obama’s ‘credit’ follows very simple rules. If anything is good - he did it. If anything is bad - he didn't do it. It's really very easy once you've got it down.

It'll probably go up 350 tomorrow as the Feds put in at least a hundred billion tomorrow.

There's no reason for the stock markets to be as high as they are. Yet it is obvious that the markets are being played at the expense of the small investors.

While it won't happen, I would love to see a panic move tomorrow where a lot of investors flee stocks for bonds or cash. The economy and lack of sustainable real jobs needs to make front page news. My apologies to those on FR who are heavily invested in stocks.

Once the panic starts, it will be ificult to stop with record margin levels.

There are also warnings of a bond bubble about to burst.

"There are also warnings of a bond bubble about to burst."

In what respect? Who would be more at risk, individual bond holders, or bond mutual fund holders?

It was the factory data, yeah, that’s what it was, we’ll just use that.
