Just think how much worse it would be without nationalizing the banks, bailing out wall street, etc. /sarc

So the government is giving them billions of our dollars and they are reducing credit lines to keep for themselves.

Nothing kosher about any of this.

Maybe Wall Street just realized Obama could very well BE the next President.

It's called Americans are broke...look at Sept. retail report. Though only down 1.2% from a year ago, EXXON and Archer Daniels Midland, and the goobermint are getting the $$ off the top first.

The sub-prime, liar loan, ACORN, derivative, hedge fund orgy has shot the wad.

You can't mask over the fact that bad economic news is going to be with us for awhile. The markets need to play this out and adjust. Throwing massive amounts of money and/or regulations against the markets is just delaying the inevitable and perhaps making it worse for the future.

Actually, it's going in the right direction. What happened on Monday was nuts.

It needs to settle down and stabilize once it hits bottom, rather than gyrating around convulsively, as it is right now.

Well, by all means let’s all panic and start posting vanities on FR!

Most of the people watching the market today usually never pay attention to it, so freak at every tick. Yes, there is more than usual volatility and that is not a good thing.

But anyone listening at all knows that that a recession is coming regardless. The bailout was simply to put some parameters on the deleveraging process and to address the counterparty risk factor caused by toxic paper. Otherwise, as Paulson has said over and over again, within those parameters the market will be allowed to ruthlessly do its thing, including allowing more banks to fail.

Our government nationalized the banks a la Hugo Chavez. Did you think communism would make the stock market go up?

Recently it has gone down almost 800 in a single day, and up almost 1000 in a single day. Thus going down 300 or 400 in a single morning may not indicate the direction it will ultimately take this month, or even this week.
