I know cynics will say that markets are cyclical, or that stocks may be slightly overpriced right now, or they will point to the high unemployment rate. But, when Obama Obama took office the economy and the stock markets where in a complete free fall. Right now there are signs the economy as a whole is getting better and the Dow Jones just topped 10,000. Win For Obama! Now hopefully unemployment starts falling in the new year and we can get things cranking closer to full steam.
