Bad start of the week....Dow down almost 2%. (ideology, companies, economy)

I have to laugh at the various reasons the MSM gives for when the market dips....
now it's all the consumer's fault
Seems we are not spending in spite of the green shoots.

Stocks fall as traders fear consumers aren't perking up - USATODAY.com
"Stocks were down across all industries as investors worried that consumers' reluctance to spend will hurt corporate earnings."

So after a run up from 6,500 to nearly 9,400 (approx 45% gain) you are concerned about a few days of small 2% drops?

Wake me when the Dow is at 8,000. Otherwise, I'm going back to bed.

Yes I saw that and found it amusing...damned consumers not buying crap....might have something to do with millions more being unemployed or something but still, don't they CARE about the stock market????

No offense to the OP. But do we need a new thread every time the market fluctuates?

There were enough posters going on about how the market was up and everything was roses....just don't point out it was STILL down over 20% from this time last year even at the height of the last rise.

Keep posting the rosy lies,perhaps you can fool some people into losing their money.

Oh no !!!

It's another up day for the stock market!

And it's another down day for the Obama haters!
