If Wall Street is curbed from their "High frequency trading" ways then the market would settle back to what it once was.  This form of trading only benefits hedge funds and the big banks and actually penalises the small (Less than 1 billion) investor.  Now we need to raise money to get this great country out of debt...more

I too agree with the Fatcat ;)  There are so many so called "knowedgable"  pundits whose only agenda seems to be lie lie lie as long as it suits them, but never ever tell the truth,  The only problem with Wall Street is high frequency trading and until we stop it or maybe tax every trade from the same place that is con...more

I can't wait to see the GOP supporters jump in saying something like "It's not Obama and the democrats that have helped the market and jobs, it's due to their party trying their very best to say NO to everything proposed."  After all hurting the country at the expense of the people is omething they are getting good at ...more

The reason the "common man" has pulled out is no surprise!  High frequency trading and the ability of hedge funds to manipulate the market somewhat have sent anyone with a brain "running for the hills"  Until the government starts taxing high frequency traders at say 1% for every trade over one per minute and enforc...more
