Media Panic


The Dow sits at about 8500 as we speak. By how the media is portraying the market, you would think that the sky is falling. I have already said that 8500 is about the lowest that the market will sink. Yahoo! news is writing something about the Dow "plunging." Is 150 points a plunge???? Give me a break. I strongly suspect they exaggerate (HYPE) everything just to get people to read their news articles. How unprofessional - really!!!! They have become tabloids and nothing more. I don't think they want the economy to improve since they favor a certain candidate for office (the one who wants "change"). If you have any money at all, now is the time to buy - the market can only go up. Buy 100,000 shares of anything that looks conservative and safe and in six months you will be happy you didn't panic like everyone else. Of course, if you don't believe me, get a second opinion.
