Not a joke. Come on people, it's ok to be happy about some good news for a change. All the doom and gloom has people depressed and the change yesterday made some people happy and hopeful.
Since when are hope and happiness bad things. The post was basically a big "Yea!". No need to burst the bubble.
I, for one, am with Wiley in being hopeful as we are both trying to sell our homes. Is yesterdays advance a reason to celebrate? Maybe not, but a person can be happy and have hope.
You keep your happy, good vibes, Wiley.... It's your perogative (sp?).

And if it goes up 5 hundred today we are even for the week. The only dummies are the ones that should not have been in the market in the first place. They sold the other day when it was low!. People were posting in business and finance that they were went to the banks and took all their money out and put in their closet. Yea that was real bright. The stock market is only down to last years numbers. If you can't hack the downturns that go along with all the upturns don't invest. Put your money in the closet.

I tend to agree... the rally is only becuse the government is stepping up to the plate to bail out. To the tune of HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. Well, couple that with our already huge debt and I don't see where this is a good thing for the citizens of our country - not in any way.

Bail out, is no good. But letting the banks fail spells even worse troubles for our economy.

Totally agred Monack.

It's better that they are doing it, because not doing it ... scary thought. BUT that said, we are STILL in a very bad time economically.

Don't forget the job losses from this have not even fully hit yet.

Does anyone remember the early 70's when Carter was president, the unemployment rate along with the inflation rate hit double digits.
