Sticks saves in the morning. More lies And manipulation at citizen expense will keep everything propped up. They will announce that God has joined the IMF if they have to.

We’ll see about the free-fall. Often Asian markets are lagging the US.

...but this could be real, and we’ll know soon enough.

It ain’t that big a fall. Less than 2%.

All you need to know is this:

Jim Cramer is telling people to “not write this market off!”

I think a crash is pretty well assured. ;-)

I dont know that I would call it a freefall, but it aint good.

The world as we know it is ending. Women and minorities to be affected the most.

How long is everybody going to stand around looking at each other as if all is well?
All is not well. The world's economy has been on the brink of calamity for over two years. Tic toc...

I figure the market will drop probably 4000 points the week of August 1st after the idiots in Washington fail to raise the debt ceiling and to about 5000 by the end of the year. On the other hand interest rates will probably spike a couple of points so I'll be heading to cash in the next two weeks.

Aaaa. Most between 1% and 2%. That’s happened quite a few times over the past few years. It will be interesting to see Congress’ reaction to the European bond thing, though.
