Thump,

I'd say you've been in the life boat (right next to and holding hands with that captain of the luxury liner) for quite some time now. :smile:

I appreciate all the help I can get, though I don't think I really need them.

Do you have a home gym, Ban? I'm thinking about setting one up in my basement. If you do, would you share the approximate cost of the equipment? I don't want cheap crap, but I can't afford professional equipment either.

The obvious fact liberals hate the market when it's down, love it when it's up.
Yep! So?
The shifting feelings seem to have to do with animal spirits I suppose.

Throw in the mix the market being down is Bush's doing and the market being up is Obama's doing.
We don't know, for sure, who's doings it is. But, historically and currently, most people give blame or credit to the guy in the White House. The market was down under Bush and up Under Obama. I'm giving credit according that perspective.
OK, a perspective we understand has no basis but popular opinion.

Economy hasn't been up under Obama, too soon to tell, though we can hope it will turn around.

We're talking specifically about the stock market here, not the economy in general. However, in addition to the markets being up, unemployment has been declining, corporate profits are up by a lot, real estate is making a slow comeback in many areas, we can borrow money at almost no cost, jobs are being created at an accelerating pace. Those are all good signs. Not saying it's perfect, but it's better than where we were headed 4 years ago.

I thought the stock market was a measure of the economy. Employment another. Etc.

I'm not ready to say things have truly improved. Yesterday we hit a new high in the market but it was not sustained. We need to see a trends, not a single fluctuation.
