    I agree it will rally on a deal but I'm not sure how hard that rally will be and don't think it will be sustained.

    as long as debt ceiling is raised to 2012, we're clear. There will be no downgrade.
    Bank on it.

    This market as it stands right now is not for the weak at heart.

    Stocks are for people in the know. If your new to the game get you what is called a "balanced index fund" it is the best of both worlds. Do not touch it for 10-20 years. Thank me then.

    All members of the Congress have shorted their stocks since last week. Now watch how they make money next week when the market collapses.

    These people don't care. First they put us in debt through war spending and now they put is debt through health care spending. When OBL attacked US ten years ago we had zero deficit. Now we are 15 trillion in debt. I guess he was right when he said he was going to bankrupt US. It may actually be sooner than he expected.

    I hear ya but u tell me of 1 politician/member of congress that will want to be forever known as being the one who was responsible for the U.S. defaulting on their debts? I think you'll be surprised what can be done when push comes to shove...I guess we will have to wait and see...Personally i think their all bluffing and something will get agreed on final minute...That way they can market themselves as 'saviors' once again to the american people

    Start reading investment books, watch cnbc. Open an account at Ameritrade and they will educate you. If you have over 250k invest with me.
