Americans see even a 13,000 Dow as just another Obama fake statistic

Anyone who has watched the Stock Market over the past few years recognizes that it has evolved to a point where stock prices most often defy logic.
We get a steady stream of “Oh boy, isn’t this wonderful” reports from media Democrat parrots who hope to use the rising Dow Jones Average (DJA) to convince us “everything is just fine – go back to sleep” when we KNOW things aren’t “just fine.”
Under Obama we have learned to mistrust government or quasi-government statistics including the DJA. We know that there must be a “catch” to a 13,000 Dow and we are right. Low trading volume is the answer that explains our suspicions.
 The daily average trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange has dropped like a stone under Obama’s failed presidency. In January 2009 9.42 billion shares were traded each day. By this past January the daily average amount of shares traded was down more than 1/3 to 6.93 billion shares.
So why has this happened?
 ”People seem to be adopting a more cautious tone and really aren’t looking to do anything,” said the head equity trader at Wedbush Securities. “It definitely seems that many more people are observing from the sidelines. I haven’t seen any aggressive buying or shorting.”
In this case “a more cautious tone” is an understatement.
In spite of the fact that banks are offering interest rates down around 1% at best; the Fed tells us Americans have placed EIGHT TIMES as much money in savings accounts, money market and checking accounts as they have in the stock market.
Where the pollsters who keep telling us the confidence of the American people is steadily growing get their “data” is a mystery. The obvious reality is that people are speaking much louder with their checkbooks. Clearly individual investors, not those who get paid for filling orders with institutional money, don’t believe in our Stock Market.
Under Obama the DJA has become yet another fraudulent Obama statistic. It has become  a report from a craps table for Hedge Fund managers and the very wealthy who belly up to the table to  gamble they can survive until Obama is gone. The American people, however,  are sitting it out and waiting until Obama is gone.
For us January 20, 2013 can’t come fast enough.
