This will go down as Obama’s Malaise Speech.
Thanks to Dems.
Unexpected.
Gold = $1,716/ounce
Platinum = $1,720/ounce
Last time I saw gold and platinum this close was back in 2008 around crash time. At that time, gold was more expensive then platinum for a while. This is an interesting situation. One of these metals is going to have to move up or down I think. I think platinum will have to go up.
not in the least.
Mission
Accomplished
Obama the Destroyer
A Malaise Speech would be a sizable step up from what he did...which was just roll out the same old pap for the millionth time.
The Dow down almost 6%! Nasdaq and S&P both down nearly 7%! Goodbye retirement...
The Obama Crash.
How many trillions of dollars were destroyed today?...just up in smoke, gone, out of the economy.
TODAY WAS OBAMA’S KATRINA....
After Friday’s downgrade he did Nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL to calm the markets ahead of the Monday Open, while his media minions were trying to provide cover by saying “This means nothing, it isn’t important!” all weekend.
Like NAGIN, HE LEFT THE BUSSES TO BE FLOODED!
Don’t worry, we’ll just print more!

What are you, racist or something?
Obama’s still up 17 percent from his inaugeration. That’s over 3 percent return a year!
Jimmy Carter was *down* 15 percent. So clearly Obama is better then Carter. ;)
Check out the volume chart below the value chart ... there has been a week of MASSIVE selloff.
This exchanged typifies ‘rat thinking:
Reporter: “Why weren’t the buses used to evacuate people?”
Democrat Senator Landrieu: “Because they were under water!”
Sadly, I think that bubble up about an hour before the close was Treasury pumping billions of printed-up dollars in to support Obama after his ridiculous speech. Just more for our grandkids to pay off in slave labor.
