A recession will knee-jerk hitlery right into the white house.

It would be better if NY were open today.

Tomorrow we could see three days of pent-up fear released in a flash, especially if Asia and Europe continue to crash tonight.

I hope the circuit breakers are working on the Exchange.

Markets like this doesn't help the argument of getting rid of SS.

Which is why people like us have to educate those grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, etc., that investing is a long-term strategy. The markets have weathered ups and downs in the past, but in the long run, the trend has been up.

Not good news. Maybe I better check ours out. I don't know what I'd do if it's dropping, though. Where else can it go?

The FED Chairman best pull that 100 basis-point lever rather early...

Should have been done last week. Now it is too late. The panic is already here.

Hope you doubled down on the short side. FCOJ rates to be a softish/bear mkt for some time, now that trees are starting to recover/regrow after the damage from the 2004-2005 hurricanes.

The only things that can re-create the OJ bull are an expansion of greening (and Brazil does have some problem here) and/or another vicious hurricane season.

Without one of those eventuations, you'll see $1.00/lb in OJ before you'll see $1.90.

Historical periods of intelligence are kind of scarce and usually follow periods of unrelenting stupidity that result in total disaster.

You do realize that you have unveiled a tightly held secret about history that the politically correct professors have worked since 1945 to keep hidden. You are now marked for re-education, expect the people who protect "The National Treasure" to appear on your doorstep soon.
