Two days after the Republican takeover, the stock market soars. TFM.

    As much as I would like to agree and give credit to voting out the libs, the reason the market soared is because the Fed is buying about $600 billion in long term securities.

    The fact that the fed injected $600 billion could have had something to do with it.

    Starting the beer fund for the epic biad they’re having with the Republican National Convention.

    Yeah, well that, and then there’s the whole thing about the Fed buying up bonds. Of course the stock market is going to skyrocket. You can’t really credit this to the GOP though.

      SouthernDem is actually right. GOP win would have made the market go up the day after the election, not two days after. It’s the government trying to boost the market, which they apparently have been doing for the past 2 years.

    Sorry GDI, the GOP is great but this was because of the Fed. In the long run the Fed is fucking us.

    You think the fed buying these bonds is a coincidence? The dems pushed this one through to create a bubble that will pop and cause another downturn as soon as the republicans have just about started reigning back Obama’s legislation. The dems are just setting the GOP up to look stupid in a couple months at the cost of screwing the economy. You think a money transfer of this magnitude will actually create a lasting stability?
