Gays everywhere.

Until it doesn't, right? I think you're a little premature with your charging ahead call. Everything is accumulative. Resistance to the accumulating bad news can't and won't last. If you're a trader (are you?), what are you worried about? You'll make your 5% profit or whatever it is...

All I have to say is this is very odd. It's not like he was a fund manager and invited family and friends to invest in it and they lost tons of money. http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssFinancialServicesAndRealEstateNews/idUSN2252992720090422 Freddie Mac acting CFO apparent suicide -...

Suicide according to reports.

Good luck with that thesis. Geithner is in emergency containment mode, given this and the IMF report on global contraction. The U.S. Government is in crisis mode. Tax receipts are literally collapsing. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=anA.WOxto6qQ&refer=home The...

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=anA.WOxto6qQ&refer=home This is what happens when you bleed jobs. The U.S. is just like an over-leveraged consumer, who borrowed way too much during good times when income was high, and now can't pay its expenses now that its primary source...

Hey, MS only missed by 40% and 2 billion on revenue. It's not like it wasn't close. p.s. - Unbelievable, really.

CNBSC had the new charge' of the former IndyMac (BankWest now, or something) on this morning and he told Joe 'Mr. Funny Guy' Kiernan that foreclosures would continue to tick up, 'obviously,' because the jobless rate will. How anyone here or anywhere else doesn't see the obvious is beyond me.

Talk about a MASSIVE revenue miss - 3 billion versus 5 billion - that's only a 40% miss (something I've never seen before). Watch the prices of all hedging instruments skyrocket. Do you mean to tell me that even with every crooked accounting trick available to it plus free $$$ from the...

I am not in agreement here. Neither of us know, obviously, but Geithner's responses today weren't fully dissected until after the market closed, and contained many troublesome comments that are only now being digested.

There are a bunch of morons here who are blindly gay bashing, but the issue I was addressing was whether the question AND response to the question Perez Hilton perpetuated regarding Ms. California was fair in the least, and I stated it wasn't, and that Perez Hilton is an idiot to hijack the Ms...

What's in your wallet? For a lot of their customers, air, apparently.

I really don't see what the problem is with Bloomberg (since few other media outlets are doing so) informing the investment community that 140,000 employees work at Chrysler dealerships, alone. I wasn't aware of that fact, and would have naively guessed maybe 30,000 at most, if forced to...

He said we're likely headed for a depression, and that the problems we face today are actually far greater than during the Great Depression. http://www.forexhound.com/article/Stocks/Stocks/UK_Times_George_Soros_Sees_Global_Meltdown/129651 This recession, he explains, is a...

That's a Bloomberg story about the impact, nationwide, that shuttered dealerships will have on the unemployment rate - not even speaking to the factory and white collar jobs already lost and still being lost in the face of Chrysler and GM bankruptcy reorganization. I have no idea what your...
