Should the ups and downs of stock market that reflect what wall street wants govt to do be our guide?
as to what is best to do for the entire country??
Like right now, it seems whenever it looks like a bailout happens or is imminent, stocks rebound and when it looks like tough questions are being asked and perhaps that bailouts may not be forthcoming they tank.
So, which is it, should we just give wall street what it wants and believe that what wall street wants is best for great majority of americans??
Does all this Wall Street stuff look a lot like Vegas to you?
Enron gambled on copper. how many times have you seen a great stock with the perfect fundamentals drop and one that was a dog go up. It's just like throwing the dice.
Come to thin of it, shouldn't people that go to Vegas and gamble incorporatee and then that way they can get in on the bailout. Ha.

Warren Buffett and Jim rogers believe the dollar is long term decline because of debt.Will this help silver?
Do you think gold and silver is a great long term investment. I agree with Buffett and Rogers that that nation has done little about debt.others feel a bailout of dollars could happen in the next few years.
Gold is a good investment. i am not sure about silver, although it is considered a semi=precious metal. the value of gold to silver is astoundingly dissimilar.
Where is the Bottom?
Oil has not reached the bottom yet, the dow hasn’t reached the 6500 point mark yet, where is the real bottom? Of course looking at 2008, this is not a bad time to buy stocks if you are looking long term. But buying at the bottom and timing the market has always been a losing proposition. When people wait for the bottom, they will always miss the timing and miss the big stock hikes when it does happen. This recession will be different though. We have multiple banks getting bailed out and companies getting funding through the stimulus. It will take at least a few years to get out of this mess. In 2006, multiple countries starting slowing their funding into the U.S. Treasury and putting their money into other countries. China slowed down their funding and is now continuing to grow their domestic products. Europeans are putting less money in the US banks and also are putting it into strong currencies such as the Swiss Franc.
We are not in any normal recession. From my advisors, they have suggested we will have one more drop in the stock market. It appears it will happen sometime this summer. ARM loans will soon expire in April, more foreclosures, more bankruptcies, more people in the gutter. Take your time, be patient, and if you do wish to invest, get into commodities such as gold and wait it out!
