Maybe next time two people will have fat fingers that hit the 'B' key instead of the 'M' key on their keyboard and we'll be living in a mad max-esque wasteland.

The market going to where it should be based on fundamentals is a good thing.

Right and that's the point. It is "kneejerkery" since the OP saw some bad news and couldn't wait to type "Obama" along side it.

CEO's at Goldman should be shipped to Greece. The Greek people want them on a Shish Kabob

One deal created by Goldman Sachs helped obscure billions in debt from the budget overseers in Brussels.
In 2005, Goldman sold the interest rate swap to the National Bank of Greece, the country’s largest bank.
so maybe Obama and Geithner should be shipped to Greece also?

Funny thing is,Rah Rah's DO give Obama credit for the Dow going up.

They just don't think he is to blame for anything bad...

I believe he has little effect either way.

Some have a great deal of trouble thinking...well lets just leave it at that.

Obama is responsible for Greece's economy and also tends to make erroneous trades from the comfort of home. Tisk tisk...

There were no erroneous trades on shares of Procter & Gamble or in any other shares at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, said Eric Ryan, a spokesman for the exchange.
