Title: DOW approaching 8500
Post by: 240 is Back on May 06, 2009, 12:36:00 PM
I wonder what will happen as it gradually reaches 9000, 9500, 10k and beyond.

Will people still hope for Obama to fail, as their portfolios recover?

I doubt the Appeaser in Chief is responsible for this.

He did pass a stimulus bill which injectd trillions of dollars into the US economy.

If you don't see how putting trillions of $ into the economy influences the economy...

Good to see some mild recovery in the stock market but we're still way behind.
The issue is what kind of debt are we creating and how are we going to pay for this (and when will more taxes be raised).  For the immense amount of $ spent and consequences to look forward too, we should have seen more economic benefits for this to be justified.  Banks are still in a mess and not lending after all that TARP $.

The guy is spending us into the ground..debt debt debt....debt on the level Bush or the entire list of the presidents before Obama can't imagine. He's done nothing for unemployment and his so-called transparent stimulus spending...ain't so transparent.

No, I don't see a correlation between the grossly irresponsible spending of money we don't have and the government taking an alarmingly greater degree of control over the private sector and the Dow inching up lately.

The man is hardly installing confidence in the marketplace.  The only people in the "market" happy to have him are the governments and bankrupt companies getting handouts.

i will examine what events happened before the drop.

In this case, the markets were tanking.  Obama passed the stim bill, and this till be the 7th week in a row that the DOW has risen.

Believe you me.... if the market had DROPPED for the 7 weeks after obama passed the sim package, I think more than a few folks here would somehow believe they were related ;)

the market SHOULD be going down right now.  that's what the trends were at when Bush left office.  Obama took over and - woah - shit is getting better.  Just as when linton took over a recession in 93 and had it turned around in a year, and got the DOW up over 300% on his watch.  Obama's raised the DOW 7 straight weeks. 

You want to cite "cycles" now?  Dude printed ten trillion dollars.   Dollar should have SUNK.  It didn't.

We Can't Subsidize the Banks Forever



The results of the government's stress tests on banks, to be released in a few days, will not mark the beginning of the end of the financial crisis. If we are to believe the leaks, the results will show that there might be a few problems at some of the regional banks and Citigroup and Bank of America may need some more capital if things get worse. But the overall message is that the sector is in pretty good shape. 


This would be good news if it, (stress test) were credible. But the International Monetary Fund has just released a study of estimated losses on U.S. loans and securities. It was very bleak -- $2.7 trillion, double the estimated losses of six months ago. Our estimates at RGE Monitor are even higher, at $3.6 trillion, implying that the financial system is currently near insolvency in the aggregate. With the U.S. banks and broker-dealers accounting for more than half these losses there is a huge disconnect between these estimated losses and the regulators' conclusions.




The hope was that the stress tests would be the start of a process that would lead to a cleansing of the financial system. But using a market-based scenario in the stress tests would have given worse results than the adverse scenario chosen by the regulators. For example, the first quarter's unemployment rate of 8.1% is higher than the regulators' "worst case" scenario of 7.9% for this same period. At the rate of job losses in the U.S. today, we will surpass a 10.3% unemployment rate this year -- the stress test's worst possible scenario for 2010.

The government had to pay greater interest than expected in a sale of 30-year Treasuries. That is worrisome to traders because it could signal that it will become harder for Washington to finance its ambitious economic recovery plans. The higher interest rates also could push up costs for borrowing in areas like mortgages.
