DOW UP! DOW DOWN!....Earlier this morning I was griping about the kind of dumbo financial reporting that pretends there's a reason for every tiny change in the stock market. Some days it's "Dow Drops on Kazakhstan Potassium Worries," other days it's "Dow Drops After Dem Takeover of Congress." Both are about equally meaningful.
But guess what? The Dow set a new record today! So how did CNN explain this peculiar state of affairs? Here's their subhead today:
Techs lead turnaround as investors move beyond possible Democratic control of Congress
Yes, you read that right. Not "Dow Moves Randomly for No Special Reason." Not "Dow Welcomes Democratic Victory." Not "Dow Higher on Hopes of Iraq Withdrawal."
Nope. The mind readers at CNN decided that in the space of just a few hours investors had both panicked and recovered over the dire threat to the economy posed by Nancy Pelosi. Crikey.

Once again, Kevin Drum thinks he knows more about the economy than legions of economists with PhDs. Democrats = Bad for the economy. Witness the gerat economy the republican congress led us into in the 90's.

Good point Chuck. I'd love to see how it moved up after his speech.

I tried to leave a similar comment over at Drezner's -- he seems to still have one foot near the reality based world.

Or, perhaps investors regained some confidence after the President calmed fears about the Democrats taking over?
I agree. They were calmed after Pelosi said she would try to be bi-partisan and Bush said the same thing. Right now investors will give Pelosi the benefit of the doubt she'll keep her word unless she proves otherwise.

Really, american hawk, that was the republican congress? Seems like the president was a Democrat, with recent majorities in both houses of congress, which, admittedly, they lost, but you conservatives take such joy in pointing out that it's PAST politics that move the economy, not present...

Reuters had an earlier story blaming a small market drop on the prospect of Dem rule. When the market went back up later in the day, they credited Rumsfeld's departure.
Posted by: jimBOB on November 8, 2006 at 9:46 PM | PERMALINK
Good point Al. Things will probably change if Democrats unveil a plan to raise taxes or surrender to terrorists.
Posted by: American Hawk on November 8, 2006 at 9:47 PM | PERMALINK
Anybody who lived through the 90's knows just how bad Dems were for the tech sector.
On a more serious note, I think the Kazakhstan potassium situation is very worrisome.

Or, perhaps it had nothing to do with politics at all.
Posted by: Stephen on November 8, 2006 at 9:49 PM | PERMALINK
Chuck, Al and American Hawk. Please. Get real.
Here, let me lay it out for you. Again.
The market gapped down this morning. Within 15 minutes -- there was rapid buying bringing it right back up. Dumb money (retail -- most likely Republicans) followed by smart money. The market really started to soar when Rumsfeld resignation was announced. Now if you continue to try and twist that reality -- you really give new meaning to intellectual dishonesty.
Also -- another fact -- the markets started to rebound in August when it became apparent that at least one branch of government may be going to the Democrats.
You really are making yourselves look foolish -- especially to those who know the markets. Which you obviously don't.

What does it mean?
It means that the person writing that headline is fucking biased.
Watch "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."
You can occasionally attribute causes one way or another, when something big happens. But the market is an incredibly complex system, and you NEVER see the folks who write these kinds of headlines back it up with hard data, even a poll among traders, or people who bought or sold that day. You NEVER see that. It's all bullshit wishful thinking and speculation.
Here's what I would be thinking if I was an investor:
"Thank God! I'm sick of Defense Contractors, Oil Companies, and Pharmaceutical Companies getting all the Corporate Welfare. Now some other sectors of the American Industry might finally get a chance."

Contrary to conservative propaganda, equity markets do better under Democratic rule. It's a fact.
Democrats foster a regulated, stable growth environment that equity investors crave, not the laissez faire, herky-jerky, tax cut flavor of the month business environment that modern conservatives seem to get a nut off promoting.

Exactly. Plus the other clue in the markets about the disasterous deficit -- is the dollar and gold. As the deficit has gone up, the dollar has collapsed and gold has entered a new bull market. The steady erosion of the value of the dollar means we will all be poorer in the future.
But hey, I'm sure Al, Chuck and American Hawk will echo Dick Cheney's famous "deficits don't matter" ridiculousness. It really boggles the mind.

I DON'T BUY IT FOR A SECOND!!!
Tell ya what he is, he's shakin' in his boots at the thought of investigations. Like say investigations of what really happened on and before 911. Investigations of the Cheney energy commission. Etc. Etc. Etc.
Look, since day one the guy has been nothing but a divisive shit, so I say
INVESTIGATE!
If something big IS lurking under he carpet history will hold the Democrats responsible if, in the interests of unilateral sweetness they let it go. 3,000 plus lives were lost that day, the least their families deserve is a full accounting.

"To spend is to tax."-Milton Friedman
Bush didn't cut taxes,he simply deferred them to future generations of tax payers.He then had the nerve to go on a tax-payer funded tour telling people (a lie) that future generations shouldn't be burdened with social programs that will "go broke."
Funny about that.

Well, anyway, it seems as if my work, here, as "osama_been_forgotten" is done.
Clearly, Americans do, now, FINALLY, remember 9/11. They remember who attacked us. They remember where he was from. (and where he was NOT from). They remember who he worked for. (and they now know who he did NOT work for). They remember who promised to catch him. (and they remember who failed to catch him, and wasted half a trillion dollars in the process).
They remember Osama Bin Laden. And they have voted such that something be done about him.

hey, don't blame the poor shmucks who write market stories or the shmucks who write the heds. nor is it some vast media conspiracy. the dow moves .5 percent, statistically meaningless, or perhaps it doesn't move at all. you're the reporter. you've got to find some cause for this meaninglessness so you call some analyst who hopefully either picks up the phone or returns your call quickly and gives you something quotable. if you're the analyst, what are you going to tell the associate press. "hell if i know why the market moved" hell no. you guess the most obvious.
by the way tuesday the market closed higher reportedly/allegedly on prospects of the democrats taking the house. there are two interpretations of the slide Wednesday a.m.: the "market" was taken aback by the democrats possibly taking the senate, something "it" hadn't factored; or the uncertainty over the outcome of the race in montana created uncertainty among "investors." as noted earlier, the market surged when the rumsfeld announcement was made, which generally coincided with the announcement that tester had taken montana.

There were reported problems in Missouri. For instance, the Voter ID Law was tossed out by the state supremes in a six-to-Limbaugh (Yes. Limbaugh. The same family) decision. But when the Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan went to cast her ballot, the poll worker demanded photo ID. Check out Stranix' post about it.
So, yeah, there was attempted vote manipulation, but it wasn't us. But this time we were prepared.
Fucking Michael Bloomberg sent a team of attorneys to Missouri to assure that Talent and the Republicans didn't cheat. That is the MO of the MOGOP.

The simple fact is that Wall Street thrives on stability, and hates uncertainty.
At first it looked like it was going to be another knock-down-drag-out electoral fight in Virginia if Allen had decided to act like Al Gore. That, and nobody knew what Bush was going to do until he basically stood up and handed the Democrats the keys to the city.
A solid across-the-board win for Democrats in Washington looks better to Wall Street than the prospect of electoral chaos.
We'll see what happens over the next two years when Democrats start to enact actual policy.
Posted by: hayek on November 9, 2006 at 12:14 AM | PERMALINK
My suggested list of actions for the Democrats to start on.
1) Start reversing all those crappy decisions of his.
2) Start blocking new crappy decisions.
3) Stop the bombing of Iraq. Now that Bush Inc, has destroyed a nation that had NOTHING to do with 911 and spent hundreds of billions to take out ONE GUY, work WITH Iraqis to try to fix things as best as can be (repair jobs). Then get out.
4) Find out where half a trillion plus dollars went exactly then start making them Pay U.S. Back! I'll take mine in a lump sum thank you.
5) Keep looking for OBL.
6) Start listening to scientists when they warn us about global warming and endangered species etc.
7) Investigate (this can run in the background).
8) Send Bush Co. bound to Iraq with notes attached: "Do with as you will".
Any others?

Others may have noted this, in which case I apologize for repeating it, but note: all other things being equal, the markets love divided government. Divided government can't pass new laws or new taxes. That's good from the markets' point of view.
Of course, if 2010 approaches and the Congress is unable to agree on extending the current tax rates with the result that the old, higher tax rates will go back into effect, you'll see the the markets react very adversely.
Of course, most of you won't really give a hoot about that.

The Dow is not 'the market'. The Dow is 30 blue chip stocks. Period. 30.
These 'records' are utterly spurious. Adjusted for inflation these new 'highs' are actually still lower in real, as opposed to nominal, terms that the 2000 levels.
BFD.
"Of course, the higher stock market may just be due to the irrational exuberance of people who control lots of money, as happened in the nineties. This is also not obviously good news. In this case, a higher stock market will shift wealth to those smart enough to get out, from those stupid enough to get in."

I'm a bit shocked here. I thought Americans were sophisticated investors, for they all now have 401(k) plans instead of company pensions. "Investing 101" says to ignore any media commentary on the markets, for "the market is a product of billions of investment (and other) decisions, not a result of any one factor". Everybody knows that. So.... what are you guys saying about your investing strategies for your retirement?
Maybe the Dems should look into reforming the company-biased approach to retirement in foisting 401(k)'s on the naive and the ignorant. If you folks are this naive, what about the millions without your education?

Dancer - Yeah, these are the same Democrats who, a week ago, were going to turn the country over to the terrorists if they won. The spinning must make these people dizzier than they usually are.

Joey Giraud,
You're the leaky balloon.
Oh, good one, Chuckles. You stay up all night thinking of that one?
But Joey's wrong, you're not a leaky balloon, you were deflated around midday on Tuesday.
You lost, Chuckles, deal with it.

Of course, most of you won't really give a hoot about that.

For me, one of the more memorable rationales give for a stock market move upward was the euphoria created by the successful landing on the moon back in 1969 by Armstrong and Aldrin.

Most likely, a ripple in the market as investors hurried to get their money into companies that aren't like to go under now that their "special relationships" are blown.
The collapse of a crony economy is not a bad thing.

I have to ask, AH, would those "legions of Ph.D economists" be evaluating this situation in "smoke-filled rooms" in DC the day after the election too?
It's very clear from your posts that your worldview is heavily influenced by B-movies on Spike TV.

Since the rest of my post was eaten up, I'll repost.
DBL must stand for Dishonest Bullshit Liar. You know what I give a hoot about, DBL? The AMT. It eats up all of my "tax break" and then some. Yet your do-nothing, rubber-stamp, bullshit rightard congress didn't see fit to do anything about it. Further evidence that all they care about is the wealthiest of the wealthy. Does that include you, DBL? If not, you're getting screwed, too.
AMT reform is a must before anyone thinks about extending the tax cuts. And then the deficit. Oh, but deficits don't matter, right DBL? Who's going to pay for them? You? Your kids?? Their kids??? My guess is that it will be all of the above.
Also reform capital gains taxes. Why should someone living entirely off of investment income pay a much lower tax rate than wage-earners? If you want to say that "tax discourages investment (a dubious argument, at best)", fine, tie investment income to earned income. For example, for every dollar you earn in taxable wages, you can deduct 50 cents of investment income at a lower tax rate.

Global Citizen,
you are awesome.
That is all.
Posted by: glasnost on November 9, 2006 at 10:12 AM | PERMALINK
On that note, check out this reworking of the first paragraph of an AP article that I caught in my RSS reader (which tracks changes to articles):
http://www.netspace.org/~mielcarz/2006/11/spin-in-action.html
I really don't get why they try so hard to interpret intraday swings in the Dow. Makes no sense at all. I mean, maybe if the fed changes interest rates or something, but beyond that it is really grasping at straws.

The stock market has done what for the last 6 years with the gvt almost completely under Republican control?
Gone sideways is probably the best thing you could say. Superstitions can be adorable sometimes, but anyone who bases his or her investment decisions on Republican control of government probably isn't such a savvy investor.
Posted by: clb72 on November 9, 2006 at 10:32 AM | PERMALINK
Thanks glasnost. I dunno about awesome, but pissed off, fired up, and vocal are all appropriate modifiers.
Posted by: Global Citizen on November 9, 2006 at 11:18 AM | PERMALINK
Hawk, maybe you'd like to link to where those "legions of economists with PhDs" make the case that Dems are bad for the economy. I must've missed it.
I'll tell you a couple of things "legions of economists with PhDs" will agree on, however: Supply-side is bullshit, and the markets have, in fact, done better under Democratic administrations than under Republican ones.

..Dow Drops on Kazakhstan Potassium Worries..
Lol...Kevin Drum? A Borat fan? Too cool.
And for those who haven't seen the movie yet, go. My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard...
Posted by: grape_crush on November 9, 2006 at 11:56 AM | PERMALINK
"supply side is bull shit"
And a tear falls in Chester County, Pa.
And Russia just banned Borat. Too PC for them.
Posted by: thethirdPaul on November 9, 2006 at 12:42 PM | PERMALINK
"Once again, Kevin Drum thinks he knows more about the economy than legions of economists with PhDs. Democrats = Bad for the economy. Witness the gerat economy the republican congress led us into in the 90's.
Posted by: American Hawk "
You see what I'm saying, Kevin? He's just too big an idiot to be on here. He doesn't think that that the pubs still control Congress and will until January. This shitty economy is their fault.
Posted by: Ace Franze on November 9, 2006 at 1:24 PM | PERMALINK
I've often cussed the business headlines specifically because, as you say, they almost always assign a fictitious "cause" to whatever the market movement has been. What, they expect us to believe they do daily Wall Street exit polls or something?

Economists Are Destroying America
Economists, politicians, and executives from both parties have promised American families that free trade policies like NAFTA, CAFTA, and WTO/CHINA would accomplish three things:
Increase wages
Create trade surpluses (for the US)
Reduce illegal immigration
Well, their trade policies have been in effect for about 15 years. Lets review the results:
Declining real wages for 80% of working Americans (while healthcare, education, and childcare costs skyrocket)
A record-high 46 million Americans who dont have health insurance (due in part to declining wages and benefits)
Illegal immigration out of control
Soaring trade deficits, much with countries that use slave and child labor
Personal and national debt both out-of-control
Global environments threatened by lax trade deal enforcement
Economists Keep Advocating Policies That Arent Working
Upon seeing incontrovertible evidence of these negative trade agreement results, economists continue with Pollyannish blather. Some say, Cheer up! GDP is up and the stock markets doing fine. Others say, Be patient. Stay the course. Free trade will raise all ships.
Even those economists who acknowledge problems with trade agreements offer us only half-measuresadjusting exchange rates, improving safety nets, and providing better job retraining. None of these will close the wage gap in Americaand economists know it.
Why Arent American Economists Shouting From Street Corners?
America needs trade deals that support American families and businesses in terms of wage, environmental, and intellectual property abuses. Why arent economists demanding renegotiation of our trade deals? There are three primary reasons:
Economists are too beholden to corporations and special interests that provide them with research grants.
Economists believebut refuse to admitthat sacrificing the American middle class is necessary and appropriate to generate gains in third world economies.
Economists refuse to admit they make mistakes.
Economic Ambulance Chasers
Now more than ever, Americans need their economists to speak truth and stand up to their big business clients. Instead, economists sound like lawyers caught chasing ambulances: they claim theyre doing it for our benefit.

It's all about fear and greed:
FEAR that the dems will get elected and raise taxes....and....
GREED that the dems will get elected and the economy will improve as a result of their policies.
Yin\yang. Blah\blah.
