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.
Bawney Fwank talks like he has something in his mouth all the time???
I’m sorry, but Paulson doesn’t know the secret chant...only ONE knows it...
I've been following your posts for the past few weeks and you seem very knowledgeable - can you please explain what you mean by this.
Cramer telling everyone to sell? Good Lord....
I hate to say it, and do not condone it, but Obama will be more hated than Lincoln was in 1860.
Maybe it is time for Conservatives to just concentrate on State Government and use States Rights.
Give up on Washington entirely, make the Red states stronger, and dare Washington to interfere.
There are no financial problems. Not a single one.
they were waiting for what deal they would get before making new loans. So the market probably took a hit on monday when it realized they’d have to wait even longer (uncertainty) for a final deal so that banks could go back to lending again.
I received letters last week raising my credit limit from every single credit card company where I have an open account.
Craemer was Eliot Spitzer’s best friend from Harvard.
He is a LIBERAL for Obama.
I think we will see the biggest rally in the history of the market once people realize that McCain will win.
That said, today’s market certainly takes the Obama cavorts with Terrorist message off message for today.
Jim Cramer is telling everyone to pull all their money out of stocks. Whatever will he talk about on his nightly show?
Good contrarian indicator. Everytime, do just the opposite of what he recommends.
God save the Republic.
BALLYHOO

Sure, business is bunk,
And Wall Street is sunk,
We’re all of us broke, and ready to croak.
We’ve nothing to dunk,
Can’t even get drunk,
And all the while, they tell us to smile:
Cheer up, gentle citizens, though you have no shirts,
Happy days are here again. Cheer up, smile, nertz!
All aboard prosperity, giggle ‘till it hurts!
No more bread-line charity. Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer,
Up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer, better times are here.
Sunny smilers we must be, the optimist asserts,
Let’s hang the fat-head to a tree! Cheer up, smile, nertz!
The world’s in the red,
We’re better off dead,
Depression, they say’s in session to stay.
Our judges are queer,
Our banks disappear,
And all the while, they tell us to smile:
Cheer up, gentle citizens, though you have no shirts,
Happy days are here again. Cheer up, smile, nertz!
All aboard prosperity, giggle ‘till it hurts,
No more bread-line charity. Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer,
Up, cheer up, cheer up, cheer, better times are here.
Sunny smilers we must be, the optimist asserts,
Let’s hang the fat-head to a tree! Cheer up, smile, nertz!
Nertz!
“This just in... Cramer over at NBC told everyone to sell everything as fast as possible.”

So government doesn’t work, even on bailouts for problems they caused....who knew?
Thanks George Bush.
Thanks McCain.
You might as well raise the retirement age to 90, cause I ain't gonna be able to retire before then.
That's exactly the root cause, but today's specific problem is that Europe has turned financially protectionist. Basically each country is trying to protect its own savers at the expense of other countries' creditors. In a spiral now that Germany flipped yesterday.
if angry people targeted the right people, Pelosi wouldn’t be speaker of the house just because republicans spent too much
