1. LOL. I think it was the rate cut.

But still cute. :D

[Autonomy]

8. no way

I am a business student who has been watching the market, and there's no 3.31% coming just from the Fed! i remember 2000, when the market, esp nasdaq, fell after the media declared GWb a "non-utter-failure-therefore-presidential". i find it cute, too, but i am not as skeptical as you. lol. funny shit.

[question everything]

21. Wait till you graduate

and you will realize how much you do not understand the market.

It's positively rampant!

16. Yes but the real question is...

[Spiffarino]

19. Methinks the humor switch is stuck in the "off" position

...for some folks posting here today.

Oh well...at least you and a few others got the joke.

[Spiffarino]

17. Damn right it did.

That Fed rate cut was a distraction from Barack's speech. Probably would have gone up another 400 points if Bernanke hadn't screwed it up.

:rofl:

[wheresthemind]

18. hahaha excellent

[meow mix]

20. theres a pattern of the economy dipping and gaining in relation to "obama" news

its pretty much obvious been that way for months now
