Stocks post modest gains as job losses slow (AP)

JOB LOSSES SLOW? NOT IF COUNT IT PERCENTAGEWISE OF THE JOBS THAT ARE LEFT... THE PERCENT LOSS IS INCREASING BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF JOBS IS DECREASING... GET IT RIGHT WHEN YOU REPORT...

How about this scenario, If unemployment reaches 100 % there will be no more increase in unemployment and Obama and his followers will cheer.

The value of the dollar is similar to your credit score. As you spend more, borrow more, the expectation is that eventually you may default and your credit score worsens. The fact that Obama and the Dems are spending more, borrowing more on record pace and are creating new pyramid schemese we can't pay for like health care (ala social security) the dollar as a measure of our nations credit score is falling.

I don't think the stock value is directly tied to the dollar value except that a lower dollar will increase potential us exports.

THINK THE STIMULUS SAVED 650,000 JOBS?
Newspapers are investigating govt stimulus #'s & they don't add up

Kankakee School District 111, stimulus report logged 665 full-time jobs saved. A top Kankakee school official said, the entire payroll full & part time is only 600 workers
