I know.......history isnt always the same, and we shouldnt blindly follow assumptions. But Im just thinking of how bad it could go. Like in 2000-2003, it was just 8 years ago, the nas went down 80 percent, and who knew where it could have gone, if it wasnt for the war, it wasnt the end of the...

i was wondering everybody keeps saying 40 percent down, and thats it. but if this isnt a usual bear market, something like 1929 or .com implosion, shouldnt we be way lower and the bottom is more like 80 pecent from the highs. if you think of how the credit bubble inflated prices, and p/es that...

Im thinking of going long on snda, its really strong. All chinese stocks are down 6 percent, and snda about to go positive. Its 20 cents now away from positive. im a conspiracy theorist, and it invovles the chinese. they always leak. They have lack rules, so somebody obviously got some...

basically if they cut to 0 it wont really matter. Its all up to autos, and the the gov taking care of the insurance companies. if the fed cuts to 0 and on monday we still go down, its going tobe armageddon. People will be saying what can they do next? just take all businesses into the gov.

just wondering, is the reason for increased option spreads was b/c of increased market volatility, or do you guys think its b/c market makers like citadel are pulling back operations.

Cant congress just pass a bill to outlaw foreclosures.

I would say in this environment some people are making lots some people are losing lots. But relativly small players. then you have periods where like when the government suddenly changed the rules right. Or if the government decides to retroactively enforce market rules on short selling...

i was wondering how companies can logically say there not using government money to pay for bonuses and parties,etc when they borrow government money. If they didnt get the government money they would be in bankruptcy. So i just dont get it.

but why arent there more outrage?

This is no offence to the americans but are you guys easily fooled? You were fooled about iraq and wmds, that it was an immediate and present threat. And now you were completely fooled by paulson by the the tarp bailout. that the economy would have failed on the following sunday if it did not...

Is cramer right, does goldman have an enron situation on its hand?

prostitiution is legal in nevada its a regulated industry

what will happen to our economy?

pabst are you social conservative, or economic conservative? There's tons of people in the middle who dont care about the social conservative side, we care about jobs, low taxes, and leaving our stock market alone, but with enought rules that everybody plays fair.

lol....the same people they bought cds protection from, couldnt pay. Goldman is a bunch of scammers, apparrent they are hiring some of the biggest law firms in ny to protect them against lawsuits, and hiring hundreads of lobbiests in washington lobbying the dems.

But wallstyouth it was also the same rocket scientists that enabled wallstreet mbaers to get away with what they did. Create creative products based on souped up theories and mathematical formulas, and then you get quants who developed crazier schemes to take advantage of what they understood...

but they all got money from the gov, so it would be hard to justify any bonuses. Im surprise,a few wallstreeters dont just quite now before obama takes over. If people think spitzer was bad obama is going to really clean the street.

Ok wallstreet financial insitutions seem tobe walking into the classic trap. There going to take huge bonuses, even if its way smaller then last year, but still in the billions. If they dont want the government to interfere and have more ammo to changing how wallstreet works, then they...

I was wondering, what kind of shocks it would send throught the street. Citadel does alot of option works, not only in stocks but futures, and everything in between. if they were to go down, would it be worst then lehman going bankrupt.
