Do YA conservatives' investment portfolios never include anything besides the 30 Dow stocks?
How else is it possible to explain conservative fixation on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, except to conclude that out of the 10,000 or so equities available for purchase worldwide, and the thousands upon thousands of bonds and bond funds, not to mention real estate investments, commodity investments, swaps, puts, calls, other options, other derivatives, futures, venture capital, and the myriad other investments that exist in the world….
….conservatives have zeroed in on the Dow as the only relevant measure of the health of the investor economy?
If the conservatives are the economic geniuses they claim to be, and if they’re so certain that Obama is "destroying the economy" because they just "know" the DJIA is going to fall (as said repeatedly on questions here), then why aren’t they investing in, for example:
Rydex Dow Inverse Strategy 2x C mutual fund shares (symbol: RYCZX), which would guarantee them a return twice the size of any DECREASE in the Dow Jones Industrial Average?
Could it be that the real reason the conservative geniuses never even consider other investments besides the DJIA is that they really don’t know anything about other investments, and that everything they know comes from the headlines on TV news?
