Finance people say to buy now, the market is oversold--- translation, they need the commissions, and if the market does go up anytime in the future, they need someone to pull the rug out from under AGAIN

If everyone were rich in terms of paper wealth, who would perform all the necessary work? It's a zero-sum game, folks. It is mathematically impossible for more than a few people to ever have significant wealth. The odds are long and they are against you. Get over it. Wealth is highly overrated, anyway. All these wealthy parrot people are the same because they are all driven by the same material illusions. Money cannot open the mind...cannot cheat death.

I don't think those people who earn that much on salarylist.com will get influenced. Only our regular people get hurt. http://www.salarylist.com/average-salary.htm

congress / bush /chaney / fcc have had no over sight with specail interest groups / wall street banks / standard & poors as a tax payer I have no clear understanding how the 350 billion dollars wall street banks were given is being used . is that not taxation without representation. first we need a good old class action lawsuit then jail time handed out all around. 200 years ago we had the same problem with a king named george. taxation without representation .

Where is the IRS? Try not reporting $300.00 to the IRS and they are crawling down your neck, shutting off your accounts, blocking your driveway, killing your credit....so where did the rest of the billions go? Did they get reported? I thought there was a 10k rule in effect, the Feds know where it went and they are silent, maybe its the elite leaders of this country that are the real fleecing of america, they are the only silent ones out there in the real world! Me smells a rat!

Now if Bush had just caught one of those 2 shoes and brought them back to the USA and put it up for sale on ebay , it might fetch several million $ from one of the banks CEO's .
