    So anyone following Jim Rogers' advice and buying C?

    I doubt he's buying any; not with Citi crying for a reinstatement of the short selling ban, and with some massive toxic write downs on deck for Q4.

    Seriously? Whats the big deal if the big 3 go BK?

    You're not nationalizing the Big 3 by giving them a 25 billion dollar loan facility. This isn't the 'great bank buy in of 2008,' where the Treasury Department still hasn't disclosed where 2 Trillion (so far) of taxpayer money has gone, or what they plan on doing with the 2nd half of the 700...

    Mitt Romney Says, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt"...

    Many in Alabama suspect that the amount of tax benefits given to Hyundai to build their plant their won't be recouped for more than 22 years, and that the plant VW is building in Chattanooga, TN will create a tax gap (because of tax breaks) that won't be able to be filled for more than 27 years...

    The Modern Bear Market (If it is bear market, it is over)

    Trimtabs. That was your clue. Wait until Q4 redemptions are finished before you even begin to contemplate an end to the downside, even without considering fundamentals.

    Marketsurfer Declares STOCK BOTTOM IN!

    I don't know where you guys get these arbitrary numbers, or why you feel compelled to post them. All I feel confident of is the direction, and that's good enough for me if I have skin in the game and get it right. There are so many people who obsess over specific numbers to the detriment...

    Seriously? Whats the big deal if the big 3 go BK?

    I never said don't crush the unions; I simply said save the Big Three. it's nothing less than a matter of national security that we save and then help our manufacturing base to become world class. All the nations of the world are gunning for our aircraft industry next. We all need to...

    Seriously? Whats the big deal if the big 3 go BK?

    Jobs, jobs, jobs. You think things are bad now? Let the domestic auto industry go down and we'll be in the worst main street economic crisis since 1930, my friend.

  13. B

    End of cheap oil. Going to 150 by feb/march.

    Governments that were heavily subsidizing fuel consumption, including India and especially China, won't have that luxury if this global route continues. Strip away those subsidies, and then you get a peek at just what the true demand for gasoline and diesel really is. It's not anywhere near...

    Look Out Below: Fell Below 5 Year Low on S&P Today

    Right. I understand what you're saying. The close today will be interesting. That was the implication of the article as I read it, but maybe I'm wrong.

    Look Out Below: Fell Below 5 Year Low on S&P Today

    Did it close there? I was trusting the Bloomberg article posted today (above): "U.S. stocks fell, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index below its lowest close since 2003, as the biggest decrease in consumer prices and the fewest housing starts on record signaled the recession is deepening. "
