Everyone is going to cash out and go hide.  o.o allsmiles Posted at 1:58 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 Well it looks almost identical to the chart for gold price.

It's not just the Dow, stock markets all over the world are on the rise. obvious child Posted at 1:54 pm on Sep. 18, 2008 It's a classic moral hazard.   People believe that the government is going to intervene.
