Ok, Just Kidding About Wall Street

Everything’s coming up roses for investors this morning! Go team! Yesterday, CNN reported slipping stocks on Wall Street and a new report on US consumer confidence as waivering, however, today things are looking up for men in dark suits. Today, Wall Street saw the Dow rise by 0.42% and Nasdaq by 1.5%. The price of our fave street-corner dirty girl, light, sweet crude, fell from $4.17 to $132.83 on NY’s Mercantile Exchange. Another point helping Wall Street is that those hot messes at the US Federal Reserve decided to hold rates. Investors are saying thank you and crossing their fingers for a little hike in the skirts of the Fed, to show some sexy leg, in the near future.

Wall Street – Stocks Slip

Wall Street got a firm smack on the ass today and not in a good way. The Dow lost 0.3% of its dignity, while Nasdaq lost 0.7%. The slip is partially due to US consumer confidence, which is pretty poops right now according to a new report out today that states it’s at a sixteen year low! This is due to the usual culpret, weak growth, and its naughty love affair with higher prices is not helping. Also increasing oil prices are a concern. That’s your not-so-surprise of the day, cherish it.

This guy, Ralph Parks of Ralph Parks Investments, says something like he thinks in six months we’ll all be “dancing and laughing and forget that all this ever happened,” ok no, he said “I’d say that about six months from now, the market should be stronger and the economy should start to pick up, since the market reflects the economy.” Are you sure? Who knows. CNN seems to belive him, as they quoted him in their article.

Last year, lunch with this smart, sexy beast went for $650,000. CHUMP CHANGE! All that will get you on the arm of this man-candy is a Big Mac, some beauty advice, and a quick kiss (yes, just a quick one).
