Thank you President Bush! Now the Fed can print a few billion more worthless
dollars and play let's pretend it is money.
Really.
In Jan 2007, the Dow was at approximately 12,500.
In Oct 2007, the Dow is at approximately 13,500.
This is a 12% gain? Wow, conservative math. God must have told it so.

"I simply can not believe this is what the Republican party has
become. I just can’t. It just makes me sick to think all those years
of supporting this party, and this is what it has become. Even if you
don’t like the S-Chip expansion, it is hard to deny what Republicans
are- a bunch of bitter, nasty, petty, snarling, sneering, vicious
thugs, peering through people’s windows so they can make fun of their
misfortune.

Yeah the DJIA, adjusted for inflation, has grown a WHOPPING 13.6% under der
little Furhrer's watch, that's a WHOPPING <> 2% yearly return.
So not only is our beloved little Furhrer a Military GENIUS he is a
Financial GENIUS as well...
Is there ANY limit to the GENIUS of our glorious little Furhrer? (I hear
you ask)
Stay tuned...

Sure beats that 56 % Drop in less than a year under Clintoon in 2000 of the
NASD.
12 months = a year . Stupid Democrat HS dropouts never learned that .
October 19 2006 DOW = 12,000
Hey.. it's time fo dance!
Everything's up - except the dollar..
Crude oil.. it's fluctuated upward 40% since August.
Soon your granny will be walking to the supermarket.
Really?
A $10,000 investment in the NASD on the day Clinton took office(NASD
793) was worth almost $35,000 on the day he left office (NASD 2770).
That's a $25,000 return, retard.
A $10,000 investment in the NASD on the day Bush took office (NASD 2770)
would be worth how much today (NASD 2725).....
Care to guess?
$35,000? .....Nope
$25,000? .....Nope
$15,000? .....Nope
$10,000? .....Nope
It would be worth $9836.
That's a $63 LOSS, you drooling retard.
Now explain to us how losing $63 is BETTER than gaining $25,000, you
fucking economic genius.
Coincidentally, the explanation as to why you don't have a pot to piss
in or a window to throw it out of is EXACTLY the same.
Have a nice day, retard.
During the Clinton administration, the Dow more than
tripled, from about 3,200 to above 10,000. If that trend
had continued the Dow would be over 30,000 by now.
Actually it's closer to 1%. The average yearly DJIA return since Bush
has been in office is 3.7%. The average yearly inflation is 2.7%.
You can get a 1 year CD right now for about 4.5% which would have been a
considerably better investment than the Bush stock market over the past
6-7 years.
Yeah and then there was that awful 300% increase (in REAL TERMS) of the
DJIA under Clinton ... hmmmm... now I am not up on reichtard math but I
think 300 is a bit MORE than 13.6. ????
But since President Clinton wasn't a financial GENIUS like our beloved
little Furhrer there has to be some explanation as to why 13.6% would be
better than 300% and to why a $1.3 Trillion deficit would be better than
a $560 Billion surplus. I just can't think what it would be right now but
I am sure it will come to me... eventually...

Actually, if you bought into NASDAQ when Clinton was elected and sold
after the drop you'd still have gotten a compounded annual rate of
growth in excess of 10%. If you bought into any index when Bush was
elected and sold today, you would not have kpet up with inflation.
Sorry. You're still a loser under Bush.
Like anyone in your cell block buys stock, heheheeeeeee..........

Ah, a mathematics major and an English scholar.
Let's see what you SAID, shall we?
DOW up 12% for Year: Liberals upset.
Hm. For the year is the current year. However, if you like, we'll go
back to the chart you cite:
In mid October of 2006, the Dow Industrials were at 12,200
Right now, they are at 13,522.
If you care to do the math, you'll find that its a smidge over 10%.
Care to try one more time? Maybe you'll find some other issue you know
more about. Geography, maybe?
Matt
1 Year = 12 months . October 2006 Dow was at 11960
See what you miss when you drop out of 3 rd grade math.
Tell us what Clinton's 56 % drop in the NASD in 2000 is adjusted for
inflation,
Tell us something we dont know Sherlock.
October 19 2006 , exactly 1 year ago , the DOW was at 11920. Every fucking
Wall Street website has the historical record of the DOW on any specific
day you fucking retard.
Its great. US Exports are soarig and Americans are buying less ammounts of
expensive foreign shit .

US: Falling dollar pushes exports to record levels, helps lower trade
deficit
The falling dollar led more people overseas to buy American products in
August, helping to push the trade deficit down to the lowest point in seven
months. That was welcome news for the Bush administration as it tries to
deal with a Congress unhappy over huge trade imbalances and 3 million lost
manufacturing jobs. President George W. Bush also got good news Thursday on
his other deficit headache. The budget deficit declined in 2007 to the
lowest level in five years, dropping to $162.8 billion (euro114.7 billion),
an $85 billion (nearly euro60 billion) improvement over 2006. Bush said the
declining budget deficit was a sign that his economic strategy of cutting
taxes to grow the economy was working. But Democrats pointed to the soaring
national debt under Bush as evidence of his fiscal irresponsibility. The
Commerce Department reported that the trade deficit declined to $57.6
billion (euro40.6 billion) in August, down 2.4 percent from the July
imbalance. It was the lowest gap between exports and imports since January.
The improvement reflected a 0.4 percent rise in exports, which climbed to a
record $138.3 billion (euro97.4 billion), as the decline in the value of the
dollar against many other foreign currencies boosted sales of American
products.

Yeah no shit .
This trick is so old it has whiskers -> right after talking up a storm
about how great the economy is, the insiders use it as a signal to
dump their shares leaving the young gullible yuppies who bought into
that "hold for the long term" bullshit screwed.
Sometimes they'll buy it back and drive prices up again for a while to
entice more suckers. Eventually when the time comes, they sell and
dump and everyone else is fucked.

Perhaps you can be taught after all.
Ooo, congrats. Except, of course, you can't read a chart.
Sigh. Do you EVER get tired of being an idiot?
