No, probably not, but it would be nice to spend what little money we can earn before the ONE spends it for us and our not yet BORN!

So far i see no sign of the stock market doing much but Go Down. Obama must Go!

DJIA, January 20, 2009 (President Obama takes office): 7949.09
DJIA, September 13, 2012 (today): 13539.86

That's an increase of 70%.
Or, 19% annually (over 3 years 8 months)
19% return on a simple index fund! Not bad!

Then there's Bush... the only President since Hoover to manage to leave office with the DJIA lower than when he took office!

And now back to your regularly-scheduled "Oh noes! Obama is bad for the market!" nonsense...

Of course, he said that in 2007 and was referring to Bush.

The only reason the stock market is "roaring" is because the Fed is printing money and buying up bonds like there's no tomorrow. It's all artificial, the stock market is being propped up, and when the bubble bursts the situation will be 10 times worse than it was to begin with. BTW where's all your faux outrage seeing as investment bankers and hedge fun operators are making out like bandits thanks to the Fed's devaluation of the dollar and suppression of the interest rates? When people like Governor Romney legally and ethically make money through investments, you lefty fanatics scream about how he's a felon, a tax evader, and that he needs to be punished, yet here we have the financial puppeteers literally robbing American of all classes blind and you fanatics are cheering because you think it makes King Obama look good.

So you see Governor Romney...it's not a total loss for you after all. You will plenty of profits to shop off to your offshore accounts...you unpatriotic dork.
Considering observations of the market over the last ...say... any time period up to ten years... do you really expect the market to keep climbing for the next six or seven weeks? Without dropping?

1. How is the Fed increasing the money supply and buying bonds driving up the stock market? Bonds aren't stocks and buying mortgage securities puts money in the hands of banks, for lending and banks don't buy stocks.

2. The dollar isn't being devalued, except in the minds of the Ron Paulites, who yell DEBASEMENT!

In fact, the dollar has gotten stronger under Obama.

If you keep searching and posting all these useless polls, comments, studies, whatever you want to call them, you might start believing what you are posting, but I doubt many others will. As been mentioned over and over, the stock market has little, if anything, to do with the administration, regardless who is leading it. The world economy is responsible for about 75% or more. If it was controlled by what is happening in our country, don't you think with the cost of gas skyrocketing in the past few days, the problems we are having in the mid east and the job market the stock market would have crashed yesterday?
