That is true, except that it is historically a leading indicator of the general direction of the economy, unemployment is generally a traililng indicator. It could give the American worker a glemmer of hope.
 
For my purposes it means a lot, my portfolio is above where it was two years ago.

Would that be the same "hope" that Gitmo would be closed by now?

That DADT would be gone by now?

That clear regulation for the banking industry would be in place BEFORE giving away trillions of taxpayer dollars?

Or that Iraq and Afghanistan would be coming to better conclusions?

At what point will Americans demand more than "hope?"

I give the guy more time than 10 months. If we do not have signifigant progress on those things in another year, Ill be right with you. The banking regulation is a signifigant point and will not happen, so I am with you on that.

I dont belive Obama has accomplished much yet, however it seems to me that lots of things are on the verge of being accomplished.

I let my money sit in a savings account until about five months ago.
 
A 55% run up from the low on blue chips.. Id be a little leary of a correction on that.

By the way the stock market is a leading indicator of the economy. Jobs are a lagging. The longer the recession the bigger spread between the two. Probably wont be till Q1 or Q2 2010 before jobs really start coming back big however things are starting to open up in certain markets like my area where the recession is ending sooner.
