The Roller-coaster ride

After a difficult week of plunging down and crawling up the market ends on this Friday, January 25, 2008 with another drop. Nothing was mentioned on the news about the closing. But a lot this morning was said about the opening and it looking more brighter. Well, the clouds crept in with the Dow Jones Industrials lost of 170 points. Add to that the anxiety of new reported job losts with more layoffs on the way, it looks that the flickering candle of this morning is being snuffed out. If only the Industries, corporations, and businesses could see that the job loss does =equal= loss income which =equals= loss spending and =equals= plunging unstable crashing poor economy. If only they could learn that secure permanent job gain with health benefits and retirement plans =equal= a gain in income which =equal= a rise in spending power and =equal= a strong upward vibrant economy. We may have more gray skies in our future if they do not learn this. But then there is always someone in the market who makes a lot of money helping the market drop back down then rise again, I just wonder if that is illegal. If not, it ought to be.
