The Stock Market has become one of the most wildly erratic entities ever seen.
That's why I give them huge kudos for hiring a Market Psychiatrist.
Who else could possibly explain the roller coaster mood swings seen on The Street? It's a mirror image of the American public.
The two go hand-in-hand, even though many of us have nothing left in our coffers, unlike the Wall Street corporations who have managed to obtain prescriptions for bailouts and regulations that mean about as much as your mother telling you to get your hand out of the cookie jar.
What a job this new psychiatrist has.
I'm sure the bucks are huge, probably paid off in insider stock options full of derivatives and credit default swaps.
Well, this doc better have a ton of prescription pads and endless pens.
And, who knows if he can actually bring any modicum of stability to such a madhouse.
I wish him well.
If the new Market Psychiatrist can find the right mix of medicines to calm the wild anxieties and depressions that the Stock Market has caused, and is suffering from in its own right, that would be one giant accomplishment that the medical world has never seen.
Throw in the nonstop hours of group therapy that will be required and I hope this guy doesn't suffer a meltdown himself.
But, you must give credit to Wall Street.
They must know they've got a severe emotional disorder.
I'd suspect that it's all due to the catastrophic baggage from all the insufferable fraud and greed that has marked their existence that's never been dealt with.
They must realize that it's time to come clean and control their horrendous monetary obsessions and urges.
It's rehab of the most daunting order.
And, they'll most likely be forced to register as "economic offenders" for all the world to see.
