[08:33] {vinod} i think worse is behind for us in usa
[08:34] {nemo} Arguably...$ weakens, everything including oil becomes more expensive. China and India expand their internal markets continuing to drive up the price of oil

[09:10] {ese} cha ching
[09:12] {ese} how much do you think GM is going to weigh on the market vad
[09:12] {Threei} FDA rejected their drug
[09:12] {nemo} zilch
[09:12] {ese} ahhh

[09:17] {Threei} which are being used to convince you to stay fully invested, add to your portfolio,, diversify it,
[09:17] {Threei} improve your cost basis etc
[09:17] {ese} yup
[09:17] {Threei} imagine how those charts would look if they
[09:17] {Threei} 1. were djusted for inflation
[09:18] {Threei} 2. would reflect index without costant rebalancing by weeeding out some companies and adding other
[09:18] {nemo} yeah, the $ is inversely correlated to the DOW. Basically, you've made nothing for 80 years since the Fed was instituted
