    Wall Street welcomes President Obama.

        Nice rhetoric. How much are YOU actually going to invest?

        $0.00 is my guess.

        • I have $2k set aside for that purpose which still leaves a little in the emergency fund. One transfer of funds. A few clicks. A couple minutes. What was your next question?

          I had intended to do it a few days after the market first crashed and then it rebounded before I got the chance.

                You are not included in the "Spread the Wealth" plan.

                I sure would like to see the price per barrel of oil drop to the $55 range.

                  Oh yes I am. at least until he redefines 'rich' again. According to my pay stub, I am below the lowest rich margin of 40K. I want my money and I want it now.

                    • Yeah, boy he sure sounds different without a teleprompter. Not very upbeat and certainly not very presidential.

                      • I take it Barack gave his press conference. Did he say anything about my money? My gas tank is a little low and my wallet is a little empty too. Where is my money?

                          Today, 3 days after the election, stocks are rising again. Up 200 points before noon today.

                            It's Bush's fault. Barack is busy consulting with living ex-Presidents.

                                That wasn't my point at all Aynrand. I don't credit Barack for the stocks rising today. My point was more twoard Kiwon, who solely blamed Barack for the stocks falling the previous two days. Can we agree that the new President-Elect is not the lone cause of either?
