Irrational volatility is the only apt description for this market. Down 14% in two days and up half of that the next, that's a swing of around 19% in three days. And it's been like this for months. Great big uptick today but it is way too soon to tell if the tide will be turning anytime soon. Regardless of the outcome, having a leader with steadiness and foresight will be a nice change of pace.
That's been the problem. Bush checked out. He does not give one flying f*** about the country he swore to defend.
WeeeHoooo, just look at all that change!!!! The same insiders that has caused all this mess just keeps on coming!
That has?
Chen ey is back?
