Dow's Decline Is Fastest for a New President in Nearly a Century

[red states rule]

Nobody can make money in our economy anymore, with Obama promising to raise taxes on capital gains, income and energy.


Study: Dow's Decline Is Fastest for a New President in Nearly a Century

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen 20 percent since President Obama took the oath of office.



The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen faster under President Obama than under any new president in at least 90 years, according to a review conducted by Bloomberg.

Bloomberg reports that since Inauguration Day, the Dow has fallen 20 percent, leading at least one investor to dub this the "Obama bear market." The Dow has also dropped 31 percent since Election Day.

Despite a string of government bailout offers and Obama's advice earlier this week that Americans should be buying stock while shares are low, the Dow has continued to freefall.

Bloomberg reported that Obama is at risk of breaking a historical trend -- in which the Dow soars an average of close to 10 percent in the first year after a Democrat wins the presidency.

About 50% of workers have 401k retirement plans. These people are very concerned that their retirement is shrinking daily.

Yet the face of the Dem party dismisses the Dow as a daily tracking poll. Which party is out of touch again?

you seem to suggest that the dropping dow as the sole irrefutable measure of the failure of the Obama presidency. Do you similarly consider a rising dow to be the sole irrefutable measure of a presidency's success?

Right now stocks are very cheap, and the Dow will have a rally soon enough. But the fact is, since Obama won the election the Dow is about 3,500 points lower

How will higher taxes, massive $1 trillion plus deficits, rising unemployment, and increased government spending help the economy and the Dow stocks?

Calm down and watch your BP. The Dow will gain some of its losses back - stocks are cheap and some are a great buy

That has nothing to do with Obama's tax and spend policies. There is alot of fear in his economic plans

Not everyone is like you and want to see America turned into welfare nanny state

Now answer my question

How will higher taxes, massive $1 trillion plus deficits, rising unemployment, and increased government spending help the economy and the Dow stocks?
