The hairy thing about this is everyone assumed some of the big sovereign wealth funds would back this up . . . and they evidently aren’t. No one knows why.

That's going to leave a mark.
Black Friday might be one hell of a black Friday.

Oil’s trading down over 4% right now. Everything’s going to drop hard tomorrow.

Yep. Got the grap beat out of them. From Singapore to Seoul to Tokyo and everywhere in between. Yen’s sure ridin high, though (vs dollar) but who (Hu?) knows where that will go....

It has been almost twenty years since the Nikkei reached its all-time high, closing on December 29, 1989 at 38,915.

It’s barely over 9,000 now. Twenty lost years for stocks in Japan.

Naah. Not like it was S&P points.

Though we could get there. ..... "Paging Uncle Ben!" Time for ol' Ben to fire up the helicopters no doubt ..... but there have been rumors and speculation that Ben and the Treasury would move to bust the dollar bears' chops and kick the slats out from under the hedgies again like they did last year. (And accidentally-on-purpose? knocked over Lehman and Dick We-Hate-His-Guts Fuld. Which also packed in AIG and all the big banks -- oops.)

[AiT] Yen’s sure ridin high, though (vs dollar) but who (Hu?) knows where that will go....

Hu? Lily? Lily Hu Shih?

The name that comes to my mind right now as currency finagler supreme is George Soros. Although, keep in mind, he should now be on Ben Bernanke's and Obama's side, making the Hopey Changey guy look good.

No it's not, may take till Tuesday or Wednesday to get to that point.
What's bad, I'm not joking all that much about that possibility.

Yes, charity is in the KORAN.

Charity to fellow Musims.

Jews, Christians, and other buzz off!

The result could be more nasty surprises as governments cast other nonviable investments adrift.

That was mt first thought too - Dominoes.
