  • Actualy,

    seems the futures were stopped out a good three or four times last night.

    That means losses were so bad the SEC stopped all trading!

    YIKES.

    Markets expecting BIG DROP ON OPEN here.

    :fingers crossed for everyone's 401ks:

    OMFG.

    Doom and Gloom indeed.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    Your buy stop is about 30 points away.

    How much you investing?


    Oh wait. You called 11800, NOT 11600
    Still holding those "Bargain" positions?
    :D:D:D


    Sorry.
    Its not even funny anymore.

    wait until it really hits the fan... and people start to realize that $2 trillion dollars has been stolen from them via the Iraq War... and $1 trillion gets stolen yearly in the name of "defense budget"

    consumer/investor confidence...

    as the quasi fascist relationship of our government and its corporate handlers becomes more and more obvious... all it takes is one bad economic turn for people to get mad and interested in whats going on... once that happens, who knows?

    pretty damn good indeed.
    hey that guy on cnbc who said 11600 fuckin nailed it.

    Looks like we will see her saved here for the day.

    Futures pushing over S2 pivot ... dow saving itself around -300 to -200.

    :Fingers crossed: for you and your bottom.
    But sitting quietly on the side line rolling my eyes at this whole thing ... a LOT.

    :D

    nah. stay off those kooky websites. a new president will be in office soon. too much spending on defense and iraq will hurt our economy it different ways. (high deficits, weak dollar) it wont affect consumer/investor confidence at all.

    I like my low better.

    being down 200-300 is not bad at all. thats not even half as bad as international markets. we'll see where the day takes us.

    hate to say it, but JLew is actualy right here.

    We look to have put in a bottom.

    Keep in mind thats like being a worker at a blasting pit, and after the last stick of dynomite gets lit, you jump in and go ... "yeah bob. its a bottom!" ... of course there is plenty of dynomite left unaccounted for ... so it may not hold long.


    But for now we're looking good ... support holding on the down side ... and the market swinging wildly trying to test new highs.

    depends on your definition of "fine"

    yeah.
    the downside of this is we are REALLY fighting fire with fire here.

    The market is suffering from easy credit woes, and what is the solution?

    The fed is throwing money at it like a gameshow host gone mad.

    What we will see is another sad bust here in the future.
    Maybe a dollar bust, too. Which would make this little market bust look like small potatos.

    :eek:

    rates have been lower then this. and they will probably cut again, but that should be it. inflation has to stay down...thats the real killer.

    You mean price stability has to remain, i think.

    Cause rate cut EQUALS inflation.

    The question is if we can keep price stability through it all.

    It's tempting from the money perspective, but ultimately disgusting.
