Dow closes down 19, NASDAQ down 31 today.

The predictions were for a strong "up" finish today. The experts didn't take into consideration what a misfit we have in the White House. If we had a real president our economy wouldn't be in the toilet. Crawford, please come and take your village idiot back.

1. 'm stock market-ly challenged

but I would have thought the markets would go UP because of Saddam...could they have gone DOWN because everyone realized it was OSAMA BIN LADEN who was responsible for 9/11???

2. world markets responded with a big yawn.

* may be enjoying the coverage but the worlds leading economic markets were less than excited about this.

4. I read that almost 50% of the American people thought Saddam was r

responsible for 09/11.

Someone had to plant that idea in their heads...

3. I can't say I'm happy about this BUT

even though I have 10s of thousands in retirement, I think that the supposed wonks are a bunch of idiots.

If any exec's on the news wires are interested I can generate the same level of crap produced and sent to the media 4 times in an 8 hour news cycle, and Ill do it for $35K

Think about it.

6. I'd never invest in shares

My dad has lost over 100.000 from shares since 2001. I gave him some money to invest for me and I've lost like 5000 bucks.. never again.

And no my Dad isn't stupid lol..

5. It Went Down Because The Market's Overpriced

because of low interest rates, which everyone knows will shoot up next year. So, from here on out, it's like a game of chicken. It will spike up and down throughout the year before crashing hard some time in 2005.

8. I'm glad all my assets are

in my freezer...I invest my money in food and stuff like that.

7. Normally, the market closing down would bum me out, however...

...this just proves that Saddam's capture is a non-event - no effect on the markets, on Iraq's stability, on the coming presidential election...

Just as I said repeatedly in GD yesterday...

10. LOL! So much for a "BIG RALLY"!

So much hype, so much crap! What happened to the big rally cause we caught Uncle Saddam?
