DOW Breaks 11,000
« on: April 12, 2010, 01:22:18 PM »
"On the eve of earnings season, the bulls ended their long battle for Dow 11000 on Monday as the blue chips broke that psychological barrier amid high hopes for robust earnings and new details of a possible rescue for debt-ridden Greece."

Note, this is "psychological" based on "high hopes" and "possible rescue," neither of which is tangible. Think about it, our stock market is tied to debt in Greece (Isolationists take note.), and regulated by emotion. "Confidence" makes the numbers go up, while "fear" makes the numbers go down (as is guns & ammo). They don't have to even be based on real numbers - just "hope" in "possibilities."

So everyone just "hope" that things will "change" and it'll all be better!  ;D

 On the bright side, during a period when many believe that paper = money, you have a window of opportunity to trade your paper for something of substance.

Heh - I'm hoping that the housing market won't bounce back QUITE yet.  I'm in the market and it's a heck of a time to be buying a house.  The one I'm looking at now last sold for $110,000 4 years ago.  That's before the last owner did a ton of renovations to the place which normally would have increased the value.  Current asking price is $60,000.  Just lemme lock in the payments before prices go back up please!!! :D
