NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks posted small gains on Friday, but they were enough to lift them into record territory. The S&P 500 and Russell 2,000 closed at record levels, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished above 18,000 for the first time this year.

It was also banner day for the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, which ended at its highest level since March 2000.

Friday’s move higher helped the main indexes finished with weekly gains for a second straight week...

I don't know much about investing in the Stock Market, but I would assume that you put your money on the Obama Crony Stocks?  What kind of indicators would you use to invest there right now?  It's being manipulated by the government and it doesn't really reflect reality.  Yeah, long term - mutual funds, I guess.  But I can't help but get a shiver down my back when I hear records being made like this - in THESE times.  Don't like it at all.

Bottom line is, I day trade. I don't like being in the market more than a few hours, a day at most, if that tells you how much I trust this market.

We live in a world in which everything is a lie.

Everything Obama says is a lie.
Every statistic or gauge coming from the gov is a lie.
The IRS is a big lie.
The EPA is a lie.
Everything is a lie.
It is as if a group of 4th grade children said one day,
'Why shouldn't we run the government?' I

These assholes are taking 20% of my return every month to eat steaks and bribe illegals to vote for them. F**K the government. bleep parasite pieces of shit who could never could hold a real job. So they have to suck my blood to live. F**k boehner, and F**k pelosi and reid too. Nothing but blood sucking scum who live off of us.

I hope they enjoy that mansion I bought for them, or all that jewelry I bought for their wives. They earn nothing. Everything they have and do is because they take it by force from real people, like me. Eat another steak, dickhead, I hope you choke and die on it. buy another ferrari I bought you, crash and burn in it.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
