The Honeymoon Is Over: Gauging the Market with an Obama Presidency

I don't see why people are making this a political party argument

I didn't vote for Obama because I'm a hardcore republican along with the other 50 million people that voted Mccain. It's not like we are a minority. Maybe it was a blowout by the electoral vote but it was only 3 million votes total that separated the popular vote.

but McCain said it best for the people to s upport our Presidents and I support Obama because he's the leader of our country now.

I don't think the author is makeing a biased statement he just wants accountability. So Democrats can't pretend they had nothing to do with bad policy and loose lending standards that created this mess.

I know a lot of Republican friends that voted for Obama out of disgust for the way the economy has been handled but I know they won't vote for him again if the Dems think they can sit in office and not solve the crisis or think they can have a free pass for four more years...

The Honeymoon Is Over: Gauging the Market with an Obama Presidency

"One thing that did disturb me in what was quite a brilliant victory speech was the mention that issues we face in our economy and nation may take more than one term in office. I’m sorry, but the American people no longer have the patience for inaction by policy makers to drag out the change we voted for.

While mainstream media will characterize the Democratic victory as historical in the context of superficial barriers being broken, the truth is that it was more of a referendum on the Republican incumbent party and wide scale frustration by the American public."


THAT IS THE TRUTH. It would be a mistake for Democrats to think they have a free pass to do what they want and not take shared responsibility for the last few years in Congress

The $700 Billion Disconnect: Lost in Translation

no one likes the idea of throwing $700 billion to Wall STreet but the idea that we should all suffer to prove a point is somewhat ridiculous

And as for what some may think is a total waste here something to think about because if this plan DOESN'T WORK, people we are in serious trouble

Don't Be Fooled - Short Selling Restrictions Do Work

Short sellers are clearly the trigger for a lot of this problem. I would agree that fundamentals were problematic but not it become something even bigger than anybody imagined.

I don't blame short seller on bad companies but takin the whole market out and shooting it? That's illegal.

Credit Cards and Exchanges: The Only Safe Ways to Play the Financials

I think this is a well written article that reads like a story and not as dry financial analysis. A lot of financial journalism seems to be just facts and statistics, but I appreciate that this author took the time to work out a very well thought out, very logical analysis.

I think that American Express has to be one of the best buys on the market if you are patient like the author suggests even though it's not his favorite pick.
