And where do the proceeds of the panic come. Here! That’d be my bet, at least.

Perhaps foreign companies sense the end of Uncle Gravy Train bailing them out.

U.S. markets were closed today. Maybe that’s last Friday?

The U.S. markets are closed today.

Dollar up 77 basis points, so lot of people are buying the dollar.

My guess is we are going to see a run into US Treasury bills, bonds, and notes tomorrow.

The market has spoken.

Keynes is still dead.

Dear President Bush & Congress: Only permanent marginal tax rate cuts stimulate growth. Temporarily throwing a little money into the pockets of people (who in some cases did not earn it), does very little for the economy.

Supply Side Economics Lives, and it told the politicians today that they’re economically ignorant.

Yep, the world sure hates us. Let the suckers choke for a while and offer us all the ill will they can. As the US goes, so goes the world economy. Da bastids......

Oops - A lot of people are looking at those numbers and are hopeful, until they realize that they left them there from Friday, a very famous and good man had a dream so our markets are closed today.

[Rippin]

Wait till November. Once Hitlery is elected the Market will double after having lost 40% under evil Bush.
