All we need now is democrats to take charge and stop this madness!


" U.S. stocks rose Thursday, driving the Dow to its first close over the 14,000 mark, after forecast-topping results from the technology and industrial sectors shifted the market's focus back to earnings optimism, even as Fed Chief Ben Bernanke fanned concerns about the subprime market."

I am reminded of the stories and pundits (and yes bloggers as well), that when the Market hit a new record, how it "should be 2000 higher".  Well, now it is,and where are these clowns now?

It also reminds me when stocks would lose 100 points, people would tell us this is an indication of how "bad" the economy was.  However, when stocks have record closings they are silent.
