Maybe Yesterday Had To Happen The Way it Did

[rucky]

Lessons Learned from yesterday...

For those for the proposal: You rushed it. You didn't win the trust of the American People. If it had been forced to pass, there would be even less trust.

For those against the proposal: The economic danger is real. We need to address this as an emergency.

For those confused or unsure: You now have more time, and more people explaining why this is a good/bad thing.

For Congress: You can actually read and debate the plan you'll be voting on when it's reintroduced.

For Republicans: You have nothing to gain by pulling political stunts.

For Bush: You need us.

1. It Was Capitualtion on the Stock Market

it's generally considered that this kind of action is necessary for a bottom to be reached. There was a smaller one around the time of the Bear Stearns failure. Not saying this is a long-term bottom, but without more bad news, it may be a temporary one. Who knows any more?

I do agree that it probably put the fear of God into some fence-sitters.

2. And maybe today had to happen when the real market makers

scooped up the oversold "panic sellers" stocks.
