Markets Soars!

September 18, 2008 4:20 PM by Jeffrey Tucker | Other posts by Jeffrey Tucker | Comments (5)

The stock market soared on news that the government was going to magically inject nearly $200 billion into the market and also magically make bad loans disappear. It reminds me of this article: Zimbabwe: Best Performing Stock Market in 2007.

  • True. So true. The funny thing is, the average person will not get this. Especially the average investor.

  • Options expiry tomorrow. Don't forget the renewed zero tolerance policy for naked shorts. I saw a lot of short covering buying today in all sectors, especially financial.

  • And gold is falling again. Sigh. I'm getting a bit impatient waiting for that $1600/ounce predicted by Peter Schiff... though the sudden rise, despite the fall afterwards, at least convinced me to hold on, and don't despair when it again falls to $700 - it seems 4-5 more banks go under and it will shoot up over $1000 again.

  • That's all it is - an injection, it's not a cure.
    The problem is that the needle giving the injection is dirty and will finally kill the patient.

  • To follow on peter s, they are trying to fix the symptom, not the actual disease.
