The elites get nervous when they know the common man is on to their con game.

their country ran up a massive debt because it was paying for a social programs and other benefits while being so lax on tax collection that tax evasion was a national pastime.

[TheWatcher]

22. Or maybe Bubbles Burst and this whole thing is finally being revealed for the sham that it is.

IMHO opinion, even if TPTB "miraculously" rescue this thing today, the cat is out of the bag.

This Market, this "Recovery" is a complete, and total lie, and has been since March 9, 2009.

[Jennicut]

23. The market has always been a lie.

It is a gamble. If you want to gamble, you play it. Some play it very safe and make and lose very little. Others take huge risks. The market is a game and a poor predictor of the economy in general.

[Mr. Sparkle]

18. Goldman Sachs. They decided to attack the euro beginning with greece

and caused a whole lot of trouble, (that I'm hoping) even they weren't expecting.

25. When the Dow was up past 11,100 people complained that the economy

in the "real world" is still tanking. Now the Dow is tanking but there are very strong numbers re: the economy in the "real world."

This is why the Dow is a shitty measurement... a few stocks can be misleading.
