Stock Market Roller Coaster
Much has been said about the huge gains the stock market managed over the last two business days and how great the bail out for Citigroup is and how great Obama’s economic advisor choices are but…
I really hate roller coasters. I hate them a lot. They make me ridiculously dizzy and when I’m forced on one all I want to do is lay down for the next two days and recover. I like control…I like stability…I like routine and yes, I like predictability. The up and down of the stock market is driving me crazy. More so because it doesn’t seem like there are real reasons for the drastic fluctuations. I mean it’s the Greater Depression and we’re all doomed…followed by Biggest Gain in Decades! is a bit much for me.
One or the other, please! I can handle either, really. But batting me back and forth like a cat with yarn is starting to get annoying. Not sure exactly who I’m annoyed with…investors? The media? The government? The business that can’t handle their own business?
Let me off the ride.






I blame the liberal Jews in the Taliban and their Marxist Muslim thinking(sorry bill, you’re busted).
Think of the stock market as a living, breathing entity. Better yet, think of the stock market as Woody Allen in Deconstructing Harry.
Or, if that doesn’t work, look at it this way: every time Dubya tries to calm us down, the market plummets. Every time Obama names another member to his economic team, the market soars. Let’s hope our President-elect will have a 57 member economic team.
I figured you were awake…I’m just disappointed there’s no comment on the Deconstructing Harry remark.
Wait do you really not know?
Yes you do….
Everybody knows who woody allen is
haha fair enough… Deconstructing Harry is one of his better ones, and if you had seen it, the threedegrees comment is actually pretty applicable.
Dammit, threedegrees! Who told you?
I loved Antz.
