Looking at hugh panic in global mkts right now. This is vey series.
Australian dollar off almost 8.6% on the day against the USD. One bank said they are seeing literally NO BIDS in the Australian dollar, which is huge considering that you can usually trade several million with the click of a mouse.

Democrats control the house. They could have passed Paulson’s first egg he laid.

Of course it’s down. These investers know that the same liberal democrats who caused this are still in charge, and they will very likely be in charge for 8 more years.

I thought the bailout was going to prevent this?
ONCE AGAIN THE INTENTIONS OF THE GOVT ARE NOBLE BUT END UP EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE!

[Traders saying Fed will likely slash rates by end of the day. Here some people speculating 100 bp cut.]
Which will do absolutely nothing. The reason for this mess IS paper money and easy credit. Can’t solve an infection by injecting more of the same bacteria.

It may be Obama’s fire, but George Bush and John McCain and John Boehner set the kindling, bought the accelerant, and drove the getaway car.

Oh no, I’m sure many conservatives will be branded as terrorists under an Obama administration and dealt with accordingly.

This is because the bailout took too long to agree on and too much damage was done in the mean time LOL!
This is a simple crisis today, Europe is melting down. All the real players have switched from fake cooperation to financial protectionism. Germany flipped yesterday. What will happen next is Europe will have an emergency meeting and agree to some new and improved fake cooperation. Won't work of course.

"Thanks Henry...I just can't stand that b@st@rd McCain! I figured, after he had the audacity to run against me in 2000, that I trashed him for good with the "black child" fib we told but he proved he had more lives than a cat. This bailout and the economic news oughta do it, though. Four years of Obama and they'll forget all about my legacy."
