kallend 2,150 #4 March 1, 2013 QuoteThe Dow was within striking distance of its record high after a year-to-date advance of more than 7 percent. The Dow Jones Transportation Average .DJT, seen as a bet on future growth, is up 12.9 percent this year, and the 20-stock index hit a record intraday high earlier on Thursday. S&P over 1,500 GDP still positive. But fascinating that you manage to find one snippet that makes Bush's record look less bad.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Clinton left Bush with a tanked S&P 500 and it reached record level. Then tanked and Obama hasn't gotten it to where it was under Bush. But - the President's policies sure have helped out the 500 biggest corporations in the world, no doubt. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the indices (including the Russells ) were LOWER at the end of Bush's term than at the beginning. Nearly 100% improvement in the indices (including the Russells ) since Obama took over. Dems - things get better. GOP - things get worse. You should take a course on statistics, and learn about the Russell indices.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
