Paul, <<Still, according to the Gallup poll, most main street investors still believe the market is the place to be -- just not now.>> That probably means that now is the time to invest. Anecdotally, I still see the restaurants busy(actually, the less expensive restaurants, which are the ones we usually go to, have appeared busier than usual), and I have been seeing more temp tags on new cars that I have been seeing for the past few months. Now if the stim bill can get things going, maybe this is what the bottom looks like. Neal

I'm just amazed that all the same clowns on Wall Street who perpetrated the whole bubble game (twice in the last decade) now stand and sneer into the camera how Obama isn't doing what they want, not enough to please them, etc. If a drunk driver in a truck slams into your car while you are driving safely in your lane at the speed limit, should he be whining about whether the insurance company is going to restore his custom paint job? Maybe he should stop being such a self-absorbed asshole and show some concern for the people he hurt. Screw all those yo-yo's.

And the GOP did nothing to stimulate the economy, maintan or create jobs, as it dug a deeper and deeper hole and they continued to oppose stimulus after the dems won. Huh? Just where were you during the housing explosion? That wasn't job creating? It was economic stimulus like we have not had in some time through lower taxes and interest rates held too low by Greenspan. The mess we are in now was created by too much stimulation - not a lack of it. steve
