The weeklong worryfest over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continued today, while oil more than reversed its start-of-week decline and threatened $150/bbl. Result? The Dow is now below 11,000.
To be honest, I would not at all be surprised if it slides below 10,500 sometime later this year. I wouldn’t be hugely surprised if it goes below a flat 10.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
