Question
Do you think the president's plan of a fiscal stimulus is going to help the recession?

Answer
Let's put it this way. Performance of the Dow Jones, NASDAQ and S&P 500 since the president gave his statement at 11.30am EST on January 18th 2008

Dow Jones: 12,613 then, 11,971 now, Change: -5%
NASDAQ: 2,325 then, 2,292 now, Change: -1%
S&P 500: 1,319 then, 1,311 now, Change: -1%

In other words, not that much!
