What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

[RobDownSouth]

Stocks are down because the Fed said they have begun to slow down Quantitative Easing. This means interest rates will edge upward, and when interest rates go up, so do bonds and correspondingly stocks decline.

One would think that a return to the classic free-market capitalist business model would fill the shriveled hearts of glibertarians with joy, but as we've seen, the Vettebigots of the world continue to ack-cent-chew-ate the negative: Oh NOE Stocks are DOWN Impeach Teh NEGAR!

They don't know how to spin this one. They've been screaming "stimulus is communism!" for so long that this one really punches them in the nuts.

No spin needed stupid. Those invested in long term bonds get the short end of the stick.

Another false characterization, another opportunity for Rob to ascribe his racism to others. I'm not worried though, I know it will all be good by the end of the year because Ludwig Von Sow told us it would be.

Hmmm, a phony recovery in the housing industry incubated by historically low interest rates...tell us Ludwig, what happens to that little miracle when the FED shuts off the money?

With industry all over the country cutting hours, cutting staffs, shifting employees into part time status, in order to escape the leftist "miracle" of Obama care, one wonders how the economy can possible be stimulated. Couple that with the straitjacket of the mega regulation generating Dodd-Frank on the financial industry, one wonders.

Meanwhile the rest of industry is staggering around with the multi-ton haunches of the EPA warming pressed onto their shoulders. All will be well by the end of the year, right Ludwig???

The world is a scary place, isn't it? That's one reason you shit your pants so often.

Better hide under the bed until 2016.

Your six year old granddaughter can bring you cheetos and spare batteries for the remote control.

Who's worried, my options are secure. Oh and please do not ascribe your fear to the fearless. 651 points lost in the last month. Looks to me it's back to reality, higher rates, back to the fundamentals.

Stock market open on January 2, 2013: 12,938.10
Stock market close today: 14,758.30

My reality-based calculator computes that as a 14% rise in 6 months.

Of course, you see that as a negative, but hey, you lectured us that stocks are a "loan" to a company that need to be repaid....(we all had a a laugh at that, even your "bro" AJ)

No I didn't say that, somebody like you or Merc, the other prevaricator, said I said it. Show me where I said exactly that. I'll wait.

Why did you pick May 28th as the comparison point?

Because that was the high point. You don't see any liberals who talk about year to date and every day that the DOW goes higher the libtards post a dozen times about how high it's gotten. It's only fitting to measure from the all time high that is always spouted to now. You can always tell when the market is shaky because the libs are suddenly quiet. If only you were honest then we could talk like adults but until then I'm gonna go get my thesaurus and use a bunch of words you've probably never heard spoken before!

Be silent, you pusillanimous prevaricating fuzz butt. You ascribe your feminized fears to the fearless and am/are/is beholden to the bifurcated and benighted with ballistic buffoonery. Those of us who have not been consumed by the cantankerous cannibalistic craven craw of the communist commander in clown cannot continue crumbling along the cliff of capacious commodified carnage with clouded cataracts. Capish?

I'm all good over here, guy. You let me know when your moaning of California being wrecked by all that you fear finally surpasses the tipping point for your monthly Socialist Security checks (that I paid into as a working younger American) to handle and I'll cover that whopping $40 you dole out every two weeks for your lawn guy to do your front and back ends. It's only like a third of what I might pay for fun drinking times at one of my hangouts, I'm not going to miss it much in trade for my selfless altruism towards struggling old pressed bitches.

By the way, this news is old right now. Happened over four hours ago. Join the space age and get an app already, fuddy-duddy.

That's good news. I'm very glad it failed. Poor children should not have to suffer for Rapepublican ass-hattery.

Hey slob, run this through your reality based calculator.

14,758.32 Down -353.87 -2.34%

Since you are so in touch with reality, you must have sold all your stock before the downturn. Therefore, the stock market no longer concerns you.
