So how are the Americans going to get the gasoline? At government run gas stations for $1 a gallon? While private gas stations are asking for $4 a gallon? Maybe hand out gasoline stamps? "10 free gallons a month for all US citizens!"

Who says equity owners won't get zero cents on the dollar?

What you can't rationalize can't happen? I wish markets were that easy to figure out.

Hard to see CPI out of control with all past unit labor cost data points being very tame and and a soft/deteriorating employment market. 66% of all costs for products and services produced in the US stem from labor costs, not from raw materials or crude oil prices. Fed will IMO hike once the...

The greedy dumbass CEOs of BSC LEH MER MS etc. leveraging up the boat with junk are perfectly fine right? But greedy hedge funds are bad? Gotta love double standards.

Instead of buying individual names you should stick with a financial/bank ETF such as RKH or XLF. They could go much much lower, but they probably won't goto zero. If you want to play a rebound in financials over the next 5 years (and you got balls of steel) I would pick one of the above ETFs...

Makes you wonder how short sellers were able to knock this dog down from 82 to 24 within just a couple of months if it were pure rumor spreading and 'manipulation'. If there's nothing to it, why don't some of big value mutual funds not simply lift all the offers and squeeze out the shorts...

Hey I haven't even said anything ... yet :)
