Dollar up, oil down. Gotta love it.

[Perdogg]

after hour bank stocks up.

[P-Marlowe]

Good things happen to those who wait.

[icwhatudo]

B.. B ...B ... but this can’t be! It has to be all gloom and doom!

[pissant]

If we kill this tarbaby, the stock market will recover. Some financial institutions can then file Chapter 11 or sell themselves to the Check and Go’s of the world.

[Logic n' Reason]

Wait one more day...then B U Y ! ! !

[PhilosopherStones]

Yup.

Let’s face it, where ELSE are you gonna put your money? China? Russia? UK? Euro? Venezuala? Zimbabwe?

No matter how bad here looks from here, here looks a lot better from there...

[pissant]

I’m waiting patiently. No rush.

"Dollar up, oil down. Gotta love it."

Horrifying. Next thing you know, they'll be telling us interest on savings is going up.

Let's face it. We're entering a period in our economic cycle where people are encouraged to pay for things with their cash, people are encourage to save, and people are encouraged not to buy what they can't afford by using credit. It's wonderful!

I work in a machine dem office. It was downright morose today. One office-mate and I were trying not to high-five and skip down the corridor and the CEO with glee had CNN on his conference room TV calling half the city wondering what happened.

Made my day.

O Reily is caving to kerry right now

And hopefully a period when risky investment instruments get the fate they deserve.

[P-Marlowe]

B.. B ...B ... but this can’t be! It has to be all gloom and doom!

God is in control.

[DRey]

"No matter how bad here looks from here, here looks a lot better from there..."

It's true. We're taking one step back, and they're taking two.

[pissant]

The Leprechaun? LOL

[Desdemona]

Make that "skip down the corridor with glee"

This mouse is driving me batty.

[anymouse]

[Tarpon]

If the bill had passed the dollar would have tanked, and we would all be paying more for everything.

Now all we need is free market solutions to the current problem.

Lurch is still around? He's number 3 on the list for receiving money from Freddy Mac.

Watch what happens from the investors in Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. They're all really cash-rich and could snap up a HUGE amount of American stocks for a song and make a massive financial windfall down the road.

(Despite what we think about many Arabs, their culture has a history dating to WAY before the time of Christ of dealing with international commerce, mostly because of the heavy involvement with the legendary Silk Road commerce. In short, they know the depressed US stock market is a potentially huge financial bargain and will not hesitate to jump in if the DJIA drops to circa 8500 as Jim Cramer of CNBC has suggested.)
