>> The same reason the otherside didn’t say anything on the 25th.

That’s simply not true! In fact, earlier in this same thread you were a willing participant in a witch hunt for “othersiders” who dared, during the worst of the bloodbath, to point out that the percentage drop wasn’t all that much, historically speaking — and that the market, being a market, goes up and down, sometimes significantly.

>> The FED backdoor announcement of no interest rate increase wouldn’t have anything to do with things would it?

Might have had *something* to do with it. But I’d say it’s more due to investors recognizing an oversold market when they see it, and snapping up bargains. From a worldwide investor point of view, dividend-paying equities in the relatively stable, relatively growth oriented US markets are a relatively safe haven — and all that money has to go *somewhere*. That explains more about what happened than goofy, and unproven, “plunge protection team” crapola.

>> A market built on faux money is not prudent and soon or a later will fail.

I agree. What isn’t sustainable won’t be sustained forever. What I have a problem with is your, and others’, tendency to want to silence and browbeat anyone who doesn’t buy in 100% to your “sky is falling” prophecies. Smacks of fascism and it pisses me off, so I speak up when I encounter it.

So carry on — you mean well and your warnings have their place. But knock it off with that “debate is closed” crap. Deal?

They rather cover it and pretend it can’t happen, then warn people to watch for it.

Oh good grief tick, get a grip and quit trying to practice what you are condemning. The recent dow activity is only a foreshock - read what money managers are saying. volatile activity is going to be expected through the point where the dow (and the rest of the global market) begin to melt down. I would hope you have the common sense to recognize that unemployment isn't 5% and gdp is nearly 4% or that this country is nearly 20 trillion in debt. And the rest of the world is in worse shape.

you don't like threads like this - then hit your ignore button.

Of course...I had some mental dyslexia....in my post. LOL!! Not the first time.....But, I was pointing something very clear out.
