    Precious metals are actually outpacing the Dow...by far. Silver is up 28% on the year.

      Right you are. And if it wasn't for the COMEX / JP Morgan manipulations, silver would be rising even faster.

    It's another bubble, same stuff five years later. The wall street psychopaths will crash the market again like they did in 2008.

    These dont mean much when we still have population problems, meat now becoming artificial, overweight kids and adults and the cost of healthcare out of reach of so many. I guess as long as the share numbers go up, everyone must be ok!!!

    With all the free liquidity offered to the banking system, you'd expect the Dow to move north. However, a debt problem looms and all these gains will probably soon be vapourised. They took the stairs going up; it will be the elevator ride on the way down.

      i agree, i dont care what they do, the debt problems of the world overshadow everything for me.

    Let the hatred begin. I cant wait for all the angry conservative responces. Same ones we got when he released birth cert. Same responce when got when he killed Bin Laden, Same response when the Auto bailout worked and Eastwood said "we are back" So many angry folks complaining about the job Obama has done the past 3.5 years cleaning up all the messes Bush and Cheney left.
