Reply #128: Market goes up and down, what's the surprise in that?

[Mickeyc1004]

All in all I think the stock market is behaving as usual. For people to take a headline for a period of time and conclude that the sky is falling is ridiculous.


To me that would be like taking the sales from a day or even a month and conclude that a company is failing. Especially since some companies exclusively only earn revenues at certain times of the year, but over all they do make a profit.

As far as reform is concerned, I thing that Obama did the best he could with what he had. The republicans are not voting for Wall Street reform and same thing with many conservative or red state democrats.

So, to get democrats on board there has to be compromise.

Also, why is it that when the stock market goes up, Some posters insist it's because the contingent Wall street reform is ineffective but when stocks go down the sky is falling because there's no Wall street reform.

Which is it?
