 Todays was apparently a fairly acceptable if not good bill as an answer to an unprecedented liquidity and credit predicament bred here on USs Wall Street and spawning across the globe. Voting to pass it to rectify the vast ineptitudes of lax financial regulation and its aftermath of failed banks and credit squeezes all at once was apparently too daunting for many of those we elected to lead us in Washington. Leaders lead in tough times. Shamefully, and certainly regretably, our leaders didnt lead effectively today, from the President on down.
Its been said in these past weeks, investors hate uncertainty. I disagree! My paltry 30 years in the business of advising clients to match their monetary investments with their choices has told me that investors HATE lying! So when lying results in the markets uncertainty, prices gyrate and the press and media pounce like starved tigers thrown a weeks worth of red meat.
