Answer 1

I think the better analysis is that the market is the crapper.  You can do whatever you want around it, but until you wipe and flush there's nothing but sh**

I see a gradual recovery, however.  Give it time.

Answer 2

The economy is in the crapper.  

Answer 3

It's a bear market.

Does NOT really matter what oil is going to do.

Answer 4

An economic formula for fleecing the sheople, Financial statements disclose bank losses, consumer spending ready to drop off a cliff, dollar deterioration will bring an end to deficit funding, public debt becoming a never ending cycle for the US,

This week was a typical puff-the-fluff extravaganza as the PPT pumped up the stock markets, fitting them with shock absorbers during the first half of the week to buffer the horrendous news that would arrive in the latter half of the week.  So much for free markets.  Let's hear it for Hitler, Mussolini and their corporatist, fascist dreams, which they used to power the holocaust, which will now be repeated in our time as the "useless eaters" are eliminated.

Answer 5

The market has many factors that control what goes on.  Oil prices drive a lot of it due to the economy's reliance on it.  Remeber that this "crisis" started mainly because a lot of banks where giving mortgages to people who couldn't afford them.  When the time came for those ppl to pay up, the money wasn't there and so the banks who lent them couldn't come up with money to continue the operations.  Stock market analyists like the ones you may see on CNBC will drive the market as well.  If a lot of them are saying one thing, people will belive it --- you could call it 'herd mentality'.
