Today's DOW numbers
Dow 11,188.23 -344.65 -2.99%

Nasdaq 2,259.04 -74.69 -3.20%

S&P 500 1,236.82 -38.16 -2.99%

10 Yr Bond(%) 3.6430% -0.0540


And this is in the mdist of the REPUBLICAN convention

Retail and employment were terrible... that is the official explanation

Oh and by the way... the happy heads at MSNBC were talking of a bear market again... and were on a verge of a panic

Did I mention TODAY is the last day of the RNC?

3. I know, that said it found a nice new happy place to swing back and forth
it is 1000 points UNDER where it was swinging just six months ago.

Won't be shocked if it goes into the 10K terriotory

Oh wait, that is the neighborhood it was when Boosh took over

2. And this is what we have to hit: the economy that is hurting everyone
as a result of 8 years of Bush.

Forget about experience and what kind it is. Forget about the sheer hypocrisy of the Republicans playing different tunes whether it is one of them or one of us.

Go after cost of health care, of food, of energy, of job losses. This is what everyone can relate too, not only "hockey moms" and this is when McCain claims that the economy is good.

5. The concensus at CNBC today has been that the economy
has so far been ignored during the RNC.

They are right.

By the way, I have seen JUST ONE McCain bumper in this town... and plenty of Obama.

8. Storm after storm after storm...
The tide is turning against the haves and the have mores...I remember during Katrina when Bush and McCain were flying around out west, trying to con America into investing their Social Security in the stock market. It's a good thing they didn't pull it off.

11. Warren Buffett said months ago that we are indeed in a recession.




And if Buffett isn't the world's wealthiest man then certainly he's in the top ten.
If he wouldn't know what he is talking about when it comes to money then nobody does.
