I suppose tea baggers know more about the sinister effects of the health bill on the economy than investors do?

Last few days since bill was passed:

Because the EU agreed to a Greek bailout:

US STOCKS-Wall St gains after Greece deal, consumer data | Reuters

Greek debt status had caused the DJIA to stagnate, even dipping below 10k last month. Yesterday we went from being +100 around noon to gaining only +5 at close. Yesterday's trend could repeat, as GDP estimates were revised down by .3% this morning:

News Release: Gross Domestic Product

And the BLS reported that the unemployment rate rose in the majority of states last month:

Regional and State Employment and Unemployment Summary

Next Monday is the next payroll release, which is expected to show a gain of 100k jobs primarily as a result of Census hiring. April 30 is the next GDP release. If both reports are positive we could hopefully hit 11,000 again in April or May.

Really no telling, earlier the DOW was up +60, now it is only at +20. Fortunately my stocks are not a DOW component.

Also Monday health stocks did drive the market up, which was expected.

So in other words, just normal day to day World events and domestic economic indicators influence the market rather than this devastating Socialist/Totalitarian takeover of 1/6th the economy.

People should remember this next time right wingers want to be taken seriously.

Is there a chance that the link you provided has changed considerably since you posted? I saw a drastic change in today's numbers. It was really nice to see the market rise after that bill was passed but fluctuations were pretty severe and I don't think it was all the "passage" of a non-constitutional bill that caused it all.

Or maybe it's because Wall Street knows it has a friend in the Obama administration.

I know!

Maybe the market already factored in the Socialist/Totalitarian takeover of 1/6th of the economy??

Let's go back 1 year ago when these Communists first proposed the sweeping govenment takeover and see how that pans out?

I sure we will see a big dip.

Please back up your claim that 1/6th of the economy is now under government control.
