Why do you think people are condidering not voting for Bush ? Because the stock market went down and took alot of good peoples money with it. Scared most people out of the market who are now so afraid to get back in. They watch in awe and desperation as the market climbs back up without them. Many can blame Bush for this.

Also, we now have a beachhead for the first time in our history right in the middle east. But why does the price of oil keep going up? A high price for oil acts like a tax on the US economy as well as the global economy. Why cant Iraq produce more oil and get the price down. Also we should exert major pressure on the Saudis to produce more oil and get the price down. The fact that this is not happening is astounding and tragic. And the Bush people say vote for me because we must fight terrorism. Well fine but do the other things too.

They should never have been in the market in the FIRST place if they were not willing to stick with it. It's the GREEDY who expect to never get hit in the market. Looks to me like Pres. Bush is doing a FINE job of keeping our economy going in one direction....UP. Jobs follow. And, without addressing terror, we will have neither of the aforementioned.....and we'll have no need for much gasoline, either. And, furthermore, the President has to work with an economy drug down by HEAVY regulation. We've lived with liberal incrementalism for years....now the tide is turning to conservative incrementalism....and it won't happen overnight, or in 3 years, either. /rant

Uh, no.

The best traders and investors take full responsibility for their trades. Only the losers look to blame others for their failures.

Uh, if you haven't noticed, the market is going WAY UP. People who yanked out and are afraid of going back in have only themselves to blame, not the president. Oh, and I'm sorry oil is a buck and a half a gallon, how awful. Much better to have high taxes and more terrorist attacks in the USA. Bush is leading in many ways, whiners who can't see all the good and want to nitpick at a leader who has brought us through the darkest moment in modern American history can pound sand.

Actually investment in stocks went to a record high last week :)

Today Greenspan said the economy is in very good shape and jobs will be added for sure !

BTW, the Dow closed at approximately 10,737, up about 123 or so from yesterday. Did anyone hear this mentioned on the top of the hour radio network news today?

I didn't.

You nailed it. If those Arabs are so friendly, guys, then make them act like it, not like they just did the other day at OPEC. I want to see some nails and results. Is this the best Jum Baker and his crowd can do???
