The Stock Market is not an indicator of the economy.

It is to the majority of Americans with a 401k.

CNBC are nothing but shills for the political status quo (Obama at the moment), wall street and the finance industry.

You can expect nothing relevant from them.

It actually is a pretty good indicator of the economy because most stocks rise and fall based on EPS over time. Not to mention all the millions of Americans invested whether direction or through their 401k etc.

That only proves they have been duped into thinking the stock market is still representative of the US economy.

That's why we're all smiling, while people like you who sat out of the market are bitter and have absolutely no idea what you're talking about?

They did that in 2008. You can surely count on a LOT of Razzle-Dazzle Shuck & Jive to point the Finger anywhere but the TeamObama Policy.

Except of course you didn't say anything about what I posted. You can only defend your choice by making insult. No matter.

Who said I sat out the market? I understand exactly what it is these days and have done well.

It's people such as yourself who we prey on.

Agree?

Slumping stocks another blow to Hillary

Depends if there is a birther heading the GOP ticket.

I posted above, you are the one who simply ignored it and continued to repeat the same garbage. Sorry you made some bad decisions in life, but don't blame Obama for them.
