Wall Street

NEW YORK — The stock market has had one of its most turbulent days ever. The Dow Jones industrials plunged nearly 1,000 points in half an hour amid concerns that Greece’s debt problems could halt the world financial recovery.

The Dow has managed to recover two-thirds of its losses and close down 347 at 10,520. But all the major indexes lost 3 percent in a day that recalled the market turmoil of the 2008 financial crisis.

There were reports that a technical glitch hastened the selling. Even so emotions are running high. Traders are concerned that Greece’s economic problems will hurt other European countries and ultimately, the U.S. recovery.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is off 37 at 1,128. The Nasdaq composite index is off 82 at 2,319.

Only 173 stocks rose on the New York Stock Exchange while 3,002 fell. Volume came to an extremely heavy 2.57 billion shares.

    I really never understood the stock market…But only the part where these big time financial ‘gurus’ don’t realize that their daily actions affect the market more than the stuff the securities and monies the market actually depends on.

    Meaning – if one big broker sells a lot of stock, word gets around FAST..then everyone is dumping stock or at least contemplating it.

    Granted, Greece is in some deep **** right now, so it’s understandable.

    lol@yourdaddy123. Fact is, the stock market is a suckers game anyway. The only reason why it’s really all that important is most people’s 401k, Pensions, Medical insurance, banks holdings, etc. is caught up in it, but the average person has no idea how much exposure they really have to it, directly and indirectly. The Greece situation is a problem, but there is more to come. Greece is peanuts compared to Spain. Portugal, Italy, Ireland are also in deep trouble too, oh and one more major country that is deep problems too. The USA. Everyone drinking that Obama Kool aid, will start to realize that it was wasn’t as sweet as he is making it appear. This economy is struggling right now and that’s with trillions of dollars holding it up in stimulus money. That can’t last for much longer so now the threat of hyperinflation, or serious deflation looms large. Trust me, you don’t want to see any of those scenarios manifest themselves.

    So funny. Newsweek writes an article about how Obama has brought the economy back. I’m no expert on the economy, but there are certain things that are just easy to understand. The GDP is 70% consumption and if unemployment is still hovering at or around 10% (headline, 18% actual) then how can you have a REAL recovery? People tried to use this fake rally as a sign of a recovery, calling it a jobless recovery. No such thing!! People have to understand something, as much as you may love President Obama and how smart you may regard the man, he does not have the knowledge or experience in economics to really attack this problem. Therefore he has to surround himself with “experts.” These experts are the same ones who blew up the economy in the first place either through deliberate action or negligence. The fact is, they are trying to fix the economy WHILE at the same time, profiting from it. People need to understand that there are a handful of people who makes money on the way up and on the way down. As bad as this news was yesterday, there are people who made millions. Wealth doesn’t disappear into thin air, it merely gets transferred.

    This is why it’s silly to blame Bush for the last 8 years, or to give credit to BHO for this so called rally. There are master manipulators behind the scenes whose job it is to “advise” the President and he isn’t knowledgeable enough to recognize good advice from the bad, therefore he has to trust those who is supplying him the information. This is where we run into problems. The people who he has put his trust in have a 20-40 year track record of being untrustworthy. They are longtime friends and co workers of the guys on wall Street. It wouldn’t be terribly inaccurate to call it a Cabal. You think the “no snitching” theme only goes on in the hood? It’s going on everyday on wall street. His advisers know that billions are stolen daily, but they don’t say a word. They give him a few words to sound like he is cracking down, but you see no fundamental or meaningful reform ever takes place. Fasten your seat belts folks, this ride is about to get extremely bumpy.
