  5. The whole Dow Jones thing is a joke!.

  6. @jpbalkenfuckface… How about the FACT that the democRATS in congress KNEW about those swaps and got bribes from the “evil greedy” Wall Street to keep the orgy going, including your messiah the marxist piece of shit Obama.??? Now go back to hating the system that allows you to have a computer so you can spew your stupidity throughout the world.

  8. Wow that is so persuasive if only McCain had you as a political adviser xD
    Moron.

  9. Here’s the explanation dumbass: Democrats took control of congress after the 2006 election. They’ve had more than enough time to fuck over everything they touch and it will only continue until they are defeated! Get it fucktard?

    10. jpedwar on March 12th, 2010

  10. @alwaysidiot
    Well then since you like to throw around the world FACT how about the fact that most of the toxic debt was taken on by unregulated Asset Backed Securities and spread around further by unregulated credit defeault swaps. This was a con game by the free market caused by the greed of individuals on Wall Street. It was technically legal fraud.

  11. Well then a fucktard like yourself may explain how the dow dropped 6000 points last year? This is just continuity, nobody said it was over in December because nobody knows. But this is the doing of assholes like yourself who’ve been in charge the last 8 years.

    12. jpbalkenende on March 12th, 2010

  12. The Dow has lost 3,000 points since Obama’s selection, I mean ‘election’. Perhaps the market understands something the Left never will: it’s freedom that made this country great, not public sector meddling!

    13. jpedwar on March 12th, 2010

  13. Obamessiah and his administration is incompetent. Mr Market will sort this all out for him. But in the process he’ll end of robbing the US sheeple and taxing the hell out of them. Socialist/Marxist pig!

    Mathews is a complete tool and a uber-leftist nutjob.

  14. @tribi…Trust me, YOU NEED HELP!!!!. Otherwise you would have not voted for an ignorant marxist piece of shit.

    15. alwaysright5 on March 12th, 2010

  15. The bubble could have been deflated with little damage in 2004. From 2004 to 2008 is 4 years NOT 2. I know you liberals have a hard time with real numbers. But since you are a liberal, why let theFACTS superimpose “feelings”. Right??

    16. alwaysright5 on March 12th, 2010

  16. Apparently it is too much to ask that republicans do a little research and not just repeat what the right wing talking heads say.

    17. ravenofodin on March 12th, 2010

  17. Wow so you think it only took 2 years for the bubble to burst on the real estate boom? The bottom began to drop out in 2006, in case you were not aware. No wonder republicans like to rewrite history. Apparently 2 years is too much for you to remember, or research so that your facts are in order.

    Republicans have never been big on facts or evidence. Conjecture and assumptions are more your speed.

    18. tribidemp on March 12th, 2010

  18. “I am going to help you”
    No offense but I don’t need, or want your “help.” Republicans know nothing of helping.

    First you need to provide evidence of kick backs. Freddie and Fanny had plenty of republican support.

    “…producers like me…”
    So far all you have managed to produce is right wing talking points with no original commentary of your own. Oh, and a bunch of shit. Your word selection is evidence of watching too much Bill O’Liely.

    By your definition McCain is also a Marxist.

    19. tribidemp on March 12th, 2010

  19. The DOW will hit 4000! MARK MY WORDS

    It’s OVER America; mean while Israel’s economy is great and you are still paying them 10s of free billions every year.

    20. foxxx2001 on March 12th, 2010

  20. Funny – for 8 yrs we had cartoons of Bush as a chimp. The progressives thought this was great. Now we elect a Liberal Dem as president and a cartoon which as a STRETCH compares him to a chimp and the liberals scream with OUTRAGE!

    You know why the cartoon didn’t compare that Black DickHole Obama to a Douche Bag?
    They didn’t want to confuse it with that Hag Michelle.

    I see the Left has lost its sense of humor ; )

    21. ChimpBama on March 13th, 2010

  21. Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking about?

    22. everEbody on March 13th, 2010

  22. Matthews you fucking moron! You voted for a socialist and that’s what you got! Of course the markets are going to tank – socialism and capitalism don’t mix!! How fucking stupid are you???

    23. mwe1967 on March 13th, 2010

  23. about time he said something that made some sense.

    24. PatricksTime on March 13th, 2010

  24. great video! seriously i mean that honestly.. nicely done.. i think if i had more time i could watch it over and over again :]

    25. Chick6517 on March 13th, 2010

  25. Buying into what, its probably going down a lot further. Strange but interesting times, i am glad im ready, my crisis started three years ago, so i have had nothing for a few years , but just started from scratch, i don’t borrow anything, not that they would lend me anyway.

    I wont borrow again, screw the banks and credit cards.

    Good luck everyone. but be prepared for much harder times, they have had this plan for years, and its working perfectly.

Dow Jones Index

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSE: DJI, also called the DJIA, Dow 30, INDP, or informally the Dow Jones or The Dow) is one of several stock market indices, created by nineteenth-century Wall Street Journal editor and Dow Jones & Company co-founder Charles Dow. It is an index that shows how certain stocks have traded. Dow compiled the index to gauge the performance of the industrial sector of the American stock market. It is the second-oldest U.S. market index, after the Dow Jones Transportation Average, which Dow also created. The average is computed from the stock prices of 30 of the largest and most widely held public companies in the United States. The "industrial" portion of the name is largely historical—many of the 30 modern components have little to do with traditional heavy industry. The average is price-weighted. To compensate for the effects of stock splits and other adjustments, it is currently a scaled average, not the actual average of the prices of its component stocks—the sum of the component prices is divided by a divisor, which changes whenever one of the component stocks has a stock split or stock dividend, to generate the value of the index. Since the divisor is currently less than one, the value of the index is higher than the sum of the component prices.
