We here at Dealbreaker strive to bring you cutting edge finance gossip, news(ish) articles, original features and content you can’t really find anywhere else (until tomorrow or the next day when it often appears elsewhere warmed over but served as fresh). Of course, the Obama Portfolio is just one example. We’re pleased to see Bloomberg carrying on the tradition we started when the First Analyst first made The First Call.
Of course, the Obama Portfolio was lose-lose for us in comments. Keep it up, it’s annoying. Take it down, it’s because we resent the First Picker’s success. (Just for the record, we don’t. You can color us impressed- hope his blind trust bought in a timely fashion). But, love it or hate it, it inspires imitation.
The Obama Portfolio: +27.61% (And counting, since inception).
President Barack Obama is proving to be a better judge of the stock market than Warren Buffett, the world’s second-richest person.
The CHART OF THE DAY shows the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index began its biggest rally since the 1930s after Obama said on March 3 that equities offered bargains for investors with a “long-term perspective.” While the measure fell 3.5 percent over the next week, reaching a 12-year low on March 9, it went on to surge as much as 37 percent.

Four more years.
Four more years! Four more years!
Ah, self-fulfilling prophecy…
Where’s my free grilled chicken?
@7 Cold blooded…but I like it
Do you think Miss California swallowed the Donald?
-@9
No, Perez didnt.
Thank you, Mr. President!
Wasn’t Buffett’s rule that you buy stocks when the stock market valuation is at 75% of GDP or something? I was picking my fantasy Lingerie Football League team at the time and missed the quote.

When the Obama makes a proclaimation, it is SO.
2,
Disgusting.
Thank you, Michele Obama. Can I have another?
My ass is soar
What a bunch of total barack shit.
@4,5, I agree! Four more years!
(minus ~100 days)
Man I really need to study up on the profit to earnings ratios.
“Michele, what a lovely penis you have.”
Michele and Barry’s first date.
You know what? If he hadn’t hedged his statement with the pussified caveat “long term perspective”, I’d be impressed.
When’s he gonna say is a good time to sell, for investors with a “long-term perspective”?
Wake me up when he says it’s okay to be a bond holder without getting a surprise bend over by the Unions.
Oh Good! His portfolio is up. He can make my mortgage payment for me! Wrock-on!
@22
that wasn’t just a bendover that was a dirty sanchez.
“Of course, the Obama Portfolio was lose-lose for us in comments.”
Oh the arrogance! And why are you using “us” as an assumptive close of justification? Guest didn’t have a problem with the comments.
You’re teasing us like McDonald’s with its McRib sandwich; only for a limited time.
I hate these Obama generalizations. They’re not that helpful. I need specific names and price targets from President Zero before I go long on his word.
His vague suggestions — Buy stocks, fill your car tires with air, wash your hands to prevent swine flu — just don’t cut it. Which stocks, how much air pressure, how long to wash (15 seconds, 20?).
This vague crap may work with the Federal Budget, Obama health care, Bank Stress tests, and everything else, but I need specifics.

What 26 said and when is the McRib coming back? I want a specific date.
Gee..
If this does not scream manipulation, what does?
I guess it’s ok to go Frost Nixon if its the president.
Only the president can break the law.

@28-31- you’re a moron (and not because of the quad post, though you look stupid for that, too).
Profit to earnings ratios looked so attractive back then
