The Stock Market?

Isn't all this quantitative easing by the Fed, triggering banks, etc to pump money into the stock market......keeping this market up to record levels?
The deficit is not going down an penny.

It makes me think of a huge pick six carryover pool, with a big "whale" syndicate putting in such big tickets to win it, they don't even recover their investment? How are they ever going to show a profit, if they are just betting against their own money?

there aren't to many retail investors in these markets these days. eventually when they find their way into the slaughter house, they will get ground up.

almost everyone hates gold now, its done nothing at all in 2 years, its been in tight range between $1500-$1800. when everyone gets fed up with that market you will get another large excelleration topside.

i have been watching a junior miner now for the last 2 years MUX. i just stepped in yesterday for a small position. the bottom of this stock should be $2.25. it has volume at the top around $9.00. if the company does not go under it should easily make it to the top.

The stock market isn't a very good measure of the economy as it once was. The media still uses it however for whatever means might make it seem better when it goes up sharply. The economy is in horrible shape, yet this isn't reflected in the market. It's become more of a gambler's casino where individual stocks are picked and chosen for short term interest.
This is only my opinion as it certainly seems that way.
