Dow Tumbling Toward 10,000; VIX Tops 25

Published: Thursday, 4 Feb 2010 | 1:19 PM ET

Stocks tumbled 2 percent Thursday, putting the Dow dangerously close to breaking through 10,000, amid worries about the US job market and Europe's ability to get a grip on its debt.

Major indexes were down more than 2 percent. Alcoa, JPMorgan and Bank of America led the decline on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Just one of the 30 Dow components was higher — Cisco.

Editor's notes: let's be careful with this one. The stock market is definitely on the "downs." Many of my conservative friends are giving Obama credit for this trend, citing his aggressive stance against the banking industry. We do not agree. He has been no more aggressive now than six months ago. We at Midknight Review have noted a persistent warning, over the course of the past two weeks, of a pending Wall Street "adjustment" of between 10% and 15%. If the higher percentage is the fact, the market will fall below to 9,000 or a below. The downward trend is expected to last less than a month. Of course, my conservative friends could be right. Time will tell. If they are, Obama's economic "plans" will forever be considered as a not-so-funny joke -- jds.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Midknight Review -- new and revised

The Stock Market is falling. That's the headline. It is not "The sky is falling, the sky is falling." Let's not jump to conclusions.
