The 10% jump is really not a good sign. What we need is a stable market and not a see-saw performance. I like the way you said it and I totally agree with you. The 10% jump is really not a good sign.

Day after day, year after year we as Americans see this going on. What do we do? Nothing. Some may say writing about it or becoming "informed" is how we are fixing it. The reality is that this country didn't earn it's freedom by writing about it or making everyone "informed". The freedom was fought for with blood. Keep that in mind if you want to really see some change. Because it's nice to be informed but, what gets real results? Talking about it? NO. Actually marching into ALL the politicians offices (look closely if you ever do and you'll see things in their you don't even want to know how much they cost) and throwing them out PHYSICALLY? YES. Wake up America it's time to take the country back by force. Here’s what’s even more amazing about all this. Day after day, year after year we as Americans see this going on. What do we do? Nothing.

Great articles. i cannot believe that anyone could think that market volatility is a good thing. i wish people would stop looking at the stock market, the DOW in particular, as an indicator of whether or not the economy is recovering. Drops or rises in the Dow are the worst indicator of how the "real" economy is doing. I am not saying that there are not some bell weather qualities to the DOW. What i am saying is that it should not be focused on as much as it is. It always amazes me how people believe that economic booms will never end.

If the downfall would be steady, everybody would loose money, but if the markets is fluctuating like this, you can loose even more. I wonder how much this bear rally “cost” for the many investors.

Our government is a puppet government. The FED represents its 19 member banks. Even its website says its "quasi-public": I think that's a euphemism for "we pretend to be public". Between the FED, FDIC, and Treasury Department, the transfer of welath happening in Congress is nothing!

Up, Down, Up, Down - it happens until people get accustomed to it - and then, at some point, it doesn't go Up again. Things are poised to get much, much worse.

New government. Given the current circumstances the FED has done things outside of its mandate. We can go outside our mandate and kick these folks out. And do you really think anyone has been following the book over these past years? Time for new government. Simple. New government.
