Good luck having people believe your stories on the internets

So obviously you lost your shirt in the last few years and are only down 33% now. Hooray!?!?!

Again- talk to me in one year. I have avoided the '87, 2000, and 2007 crashes and am probably a little more fleet of foot.

Now is the time to sell, not buy. Bammy will eventually destroy the dollar. It is beat down now and there will probably be a short term rally. After that, look into currency funds like MERKX until the dust settles. We will see increasing interest rates and declining currency- it HAS to happen with current fiscal policy. There will be short term changes, but the trend is clear. You have missed out on the first phase of the dollar decline, but there will be another after a short term rally.

I'm simply responding to their post.

It doesn't matter if they believe me or not.

The Dow is worth just over 9 ounces of gold. It will fall to 2 ounces of gold in the end, wherever that is.

Don't tell the doom and gloom folks they will need to find another thing to put on their signs as they march through the streets.

Which is less than expected.

That's how the economy works.

Unemployment is the last thing to recover after a recession.

Republicans can cry about the current unemployment level all you want.

It's like a child who just took medicine for a cold, and he can't understand why he still feels sick.

Recovery takes time.
BINGO!
Right on target.

Yup. Aside from the expected "post Cash for Clunkers" drop, retail sales were up - and up more than expected.

PS - Sounds like we'll very likely hit the 10,000 mark today (maybe early today). Now, it IS just a number of course - and I really care more about the broader S&P than I do about the DOW (it's a better indicator) - but still, as a psycholgical benchmark it IS important.

The market is still in a hole from it's highs, but we've come a LONG way in just 8 short months.
