    I bet we sell off

    Yeah, right. Always short the market when the Fed cuts by 125 basis points in 8 days. :confused: Good luck with that. :D

    If Fed cuts only 25, what is best strategy?

    Especially after the GDP report, there's no way the Fed doesn't cut by 50bp.

    No Way There Is A 50 Basis Cut Tomorrow---

    One poster here said the Fed should raise rates by 400 basis points. Another nitwit said "we should nationalize the hedge funds." LMAO :D That's my personal favorite. Nationalize the hedge funds. What a total barking moron. A lot of people who post here don't have even the remotest idea...

    Any live streams of Bernanke's speech on the net?

    He has his own webcam where he'll do whatever you ask...live. Slash the discount rate...hold it steady while cutting fed funds. Totally raunchy.

    Especially with this Fed.

    I don't buy this rally

    You are occasionally long the market, is that correct? Personally, sometimes I'm long, sometimes I'm short. Sometimes I make money and sometimes I don't. Just because some of us were long today and it worked out doesn't mean we're all foaming at the mouth one-way traders. Maybe I'll be short...

    Vince Farrell - "Market down tomorrow"

    Vince Farrell on CNBC - "The market sells off tomorrow no matter what the Fed does." I remember a bunch of "experts" saying the same thing in September just before the Fed cut. The S&P500 went up 11% in the next month and a half. Longer term, of course, they could be right but I doubt it'll...

    .25 leak has been leaked

    LOL, I think I like that one the best.

    I don't buy this rally

    The Bernanke Fed has trained the market to not trust them. No one is 100% sure what the hell the wacky Bernanke Fed will do tomorrow. That's in stark contrast with the Greenspan years where, no matter how much gibberish he talked in Fed testimony, people knew where he was headed and where he...

    Risk free money today. Just go short

    SAC Capital has been making Ben Bernanke take female hormones. He now wears a dress, has moved in with Cohen and will not make a move without Cohen's OK.

    Black Monday - Futures deep in the red, Asia down again, when will it end?

    Looks like we'll be retesting the recent lows in about 9 or 10 hours.

    Will Bernanke blow it on Wed?

    From the Wall Street Journal 1/25/08: "It is unclear how much Société Générale contributed to Monday's market drop, which began in Asia. Nonetheless, officials say they were motivated not so much by Monday's drop as the cumulative decline in stocks through January; ratings downgrades on...

    Where are markets headed next week?

    The poll's nearly 2 to 1 in favor of a selloff. I think the market looks bad here, too. Therefore, I'd say we'll have rallied strongly by Friday. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a major league puking on Monday, though.

    Sure are a lot of nuts out there...

    Thanks, guys. Apocalyptic pessimism is very popular these days as an explanation for everything. The worst thing about it is that it prevents believers from taking positive steps in their lives that would otherwise benefit themselves and the rest of society. They're too busy wasting...

    my boss blew up

    But the media says women are superior to men in every way...gosh, how could this possibly have happened? :D Maybe she needs some of the female hormones that guy at SAC Capital was taking.

    Sure are a lot of nuts out there...

    I'm not surprised that mental defective is a middle school teacher. I remember one of my teachers from that time in school telling my class that it was possible to build a giant air pipeline to the moon to make it habitable. There is and always will be a segment of the population that revels...

    Sunnier view of the MBIA/AMBAC mess

    From today's Barrons': "A week ago, MBIA (ticker: MBI) closed at 8.55, after sinking as low as 6.58 amid worries that the bond insurer and Ambac Financial (ABK) might lose their triple-A credit ratings. Our story (see "MBIA: Priced for Catastrophe," Jan. 21) said that even in run-off --...
