If you work on the street, you probably heard that there was talk of closing the market either Monday or Tuesday this week.

When they freak that bad, the bottom is nigh folks.

km4,

“Socialism is indeed alive and well in America; but this is socialism for the rich…”

Has the U.S. ever had any other kind but ?

re: It may be mostly done, but it’s not nearly done.

Could nearly signify 10 years out? 15? Jason Zweig’s article in WSJ, if only for the bear market that won’t go away graph, was instructive. This volatility is great for trades, but are we looking at Patagonia (endless flatlands) coming down the road…

Could anyone comment on how the government’s plan to take equity in several financials via preferred shares will affect the common share values?

Thanks.

Barry:

You’re not suggesting that were in a “bull market” now, R U…?

I don’t want to rain on anyones parade, however we’re still below last Monday’s close and I don’t see earnings and cash flow going anywhere but down. Call me old fashioned if you will, but I don’t think that this bear market is nearly done. It may be mostly done, but it’s not nearly done.

Best regards,

Econolicious

There are many types of perishable items:

1) Raw milk sours almost immediately, but it is still consumable if kept cold. Before the ice box, very few people had access to fresh milk, which would have been warm from the cow.

2) Real, tree ripened peaches. Can’t get ‘em except as specialty items, and only in season. They can’t be shipped and they last a week or two at most. The peaches you know ain’t peaches.

3) Real, fresh, succulent, medicinal plants. You might do coke, or shoot dope, but if you never chewed on a fresh Coca leaf, or a fresh wad of Khat, you ain’t lived. Getting these fresh is nigh impossible.

4) Today’s rally. Kiss it goodbye, if not tomorrow, very soon. This can’t last. We are still in for a hurtin’ time that so transcends any market index; this new era is set to invade your very life.

Just like magic the fundamentals of US economy are ‘ALL OF A SUDDEN’ strong again because the guberment ( Bush speaking ) is set to buy preferred equity stakes in nine top financial institutions

Socialism is indeed alive and well in America; but this is socialism for the rich, the well connected and Wall Street.

The bad news is you middle class losers are still on the hook for trillions.

Vote McSame if you want to turn America into the USSRA banana republic.

Vote Obama if you want the United States of America.

yes, while the CONEX is still functioning, this is The play in PMs..

as an aside, it’s so funny(strange) that those guys–GATA, lemetropolecafe.com–have been soo Right, as in, from Au under U$D300-timeframe, and, yet, receive soo little attention/recognition…

I think we’re in the 5th inning of the Day/Night Doubleheader–pack accordingly, for the duration..

past all that: 2 Down, 2 to go!~ Way to, Rays.
