It's all about the long run!

[scottie2005]

Wow, weakness in the jobs market, who knew?

[Cap dat 4ss]

[Emily_Haines]

Obama kicking ass

New claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, a government report showed on Thursday, suggesting little improvement in the labor market this month after employment stumbled in May.

It's all about the long run!

LOL

There is no LONG RUN any longer.

That disappeared about 10 years ago.

[Brock Landers]

big deal

[Emily_Haines]

big deal

If the debt ceiling does not get raised, we move the financial pain into the present. World financial markets would crash and that would be followed by a devastating economic nightmare.

[Fishhead]

Now down over 200 pts.........one hour into session.

[lemart5]

You should be cheering oil down over $5 today

big deal

In the past many retirees could count on accumulated stock market wealth to help fund retirement. Not so much anymore. The S&P 500 is now no higher than it was in January of 1999. For over 12 years the major averages have gone nowhere in nominal terms and have declined significantly in real (inflation adjusted) terms. The dreams of becoming rich from investments have crashed along with Pets.com and Bernie Madoff.

If you are middle america with a stable job and decent flat income you should be happy, if you are making the same and keeping your job a tough economy just allows you to afford nicer vacations and more stuff from retail outlets as everything gets deep discounts. I say let'er fall.

[lemart5]

Market will be like this until earnings Bernanke did nothing to quell the fear.

Maybe for people who like their job and want to work until their 85.

Nicer vacations With the dollar destroyed everything is more expensive elsewhere.

[topgame85]

Step to the sidelines for the restof the summer or hold on and be prepared to average in. The long rune isn't dead you are just to short sighted toto believe it.

LOL, now that everyone has bought a get rich quick book from some infomercial, and 15% of the people are unemployed and sitting at home, the stock market and its daily ups and downs have to be expected. It is basically live betting for addicts who say they dont gamble.

You have these overnight brokers who read a book once on E trade all day buying and selling penny stocks or maybe low priced stuff trying to make a few bucks, pr maybe even trying to get rich. I am surprised it doesnt go up and down even more.

It really is akin to sportsbetting. A few people with a little money in an IRA somewhere sitting around playing the stockmarket and day trading in their underwear, is really no different than degenerates who sit around looking at a screen for 10 hours a day waiting for something ot drop 3 cetns or a half point and hammering it. But the results are usually the same....they all end up broke and the guys with the money continue to sweep up all the other money in the game.
