想必关心股市的朋友这几天都很失望。
先是觉得政府的STIMULUS PLAN太花钱,看不到希望,跌;
再是政府对花旗的进入,跌;
又有GM的破产警告,跌。
今天看到因为中国STIMULUS PLAN 没有人们想象的多,也成为了股市跌的原因。我就不明白,为什么美国STIMULUS PLAN一出来,股市就大跌,但是非要预期中国加大STIMULUS的力度呢?
难道中国的政策上路,美国的不上路?

Stocks resumed their slide today, as China deflated investors' hope that the country will boost spending.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said the government's stimulus plan would help the world's third-largest economy grow by 8 percent this year, but stopped short of promising new stimulus measures.

The hope that China would unveil more government spending was a major trigger for the stock market's bounce Wednesday. The rally followed a five-day pummeling that left the market at its lowest levels since 1997.
The premier "had his Timothy Geithner moment," said independent market analyst Edward Yardeni, referring to the U.S. Treasury Secretary's speech several weeks ago that the market hoped would reveal details about plans for banks' toxic assets. "He let everyone down."
Another piece of gloomy news: General Motors said in its annual report that auditors raised serious doubt about the automaker's ability to continue operating. GM has already received $13.4 billion in federal loans, and is seeking a total of $30 billion from the government. GM fell 25 cents, or 11.4 percent, to $1.95.
In the first half-hour of trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 98.53, or 1.43 percent, to 6,777.31.
Broader stock indicators also fell. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 12.11, or 1.70 percent, to 700.76, and the Nasdaq composite index fell 17.20, or 1.27 percent, to 1,336.54.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 7.32, or 1.97 percent, to 363.98.
On the New York Stock Exchange 2,365 stocks fell, while only 286 advanced. Volume came to 120 million shares
