Dow Drops 678.91 - Other Markets Down 5 to 7%


Its time, once again, for me to taunt all the liberals in Congress and President Bush himself for telling us that the bailout plan was necessary to save the economy.  Yet every day since the markets have plummeted.

Today’s results were another tumble:

  NASDAQ 1645.12 -95.21   5.47%
DJIA 8579.19 -678.91   7.33%
  S&P 500 909.92 -75.02   7.62%
  NASDAQ-100 1275.10 -55.51   4.17%
  NASDAQ-100 PMI 1354.63 24.63   1.85%
  NASDAQ-100 AHI 1277.64 2.54   0.20%
  Russell 1000 492.13 -40.05   7.53%
  Russell 2000 499.20 -47.37   8.67%
  FTSE All-World ex-US* 155.90 -6.54   4.03%
  FTSE RAFI 1000* 3537.61 -322.10   8.35%

So, again, how’s that bailout thingy working out for ya?  Are we ready to try REAL solutions and not just throwing more money and more regulation at the situation?

Nah.  We’re stupid - as a nation that is.  And we’ll keep doing the same failed things over and over until we all wither and die on the vine.

The only question I have right now is when I get back from Aruba in a week as to whether the market will have hit 7,000 or not.
