Well they're not ALL deadbeats. A lot of people were just idiots that should be thrown on the street. But there were several people that just flat out got screwed. The sale of ARMs is what screwed a good amount of people. People were told that they could use their 5 year or 3 year arms at...

Your generalization here is pretty stupid. I'm assuming its sarcasm because surely you don't think Paris Hilton deserves her riches. There are successfull rich people and there are rich people that just happened to land out of a successful womans vagina. I wouldn't really consider falling out...

Yeah McCain put on some truly scary and disturbing facial expressions I have to admit. You know we've tried sane and recently even stupid presidents, maybe a president with a little crazy in him would be a good change!..lol. Hey I just said I think McCain won THIS debate, but overall Obama...

I'm just frustrated in general. I was pulling for McCain but he's squandered waaaay too much time on pointless crap like Ayers, Acorn, Wright, etc. I wanted to hear his policies, I think he did a much better job in this debate than he did in the first two. Wish he would have been this sharp...

I think McCain smoked Obama in this debate. I'm not sure if it'll be enough to change the minds of independent voters but I do think this is the first time McCain won...... The Bill Ayers thing was a stupid waste of time which to me backfired on McCain. People losing thousands of dollars in...

I think McCain smoked Obama in this debate. I guess save the best for last.:mad:

I don't agree on much with you HOWEVER I do have to agree with you here. I was a big McCain supporter but his pointless shots at Obama over pointless things is a big turn off. Instead of talking about what he wants to do to fix the situation he's stuck on attacking Obama's past relationship...

So I managed to do a very small scalp as a test during the melt down friday morning. Basically I had a option spread on a stock where the deep in the money put spread bid was max. Meaning lets say the stock is trading at 10 bucks and the 31/30 put spread had a bid of $1.00. So if I sell...

Good grief, are you really John McCain! The fundies of this economy suck and will suck for at least a year or two. Stocks might bounce a little higher from here but we aint seeing 1600 on SnP for a LOONNNNG time!

I think the GE earnings might be what determine if we plunge tomorrow or not. If GE's non financial businesses come in good then we just might avoid the giant 10% drop tomorrow since people have already taken GE to the woodshed because of their financing arm. But if GE earnings suck on both...

This was pretty interesting... http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/News/jubak-financial-crisis-end-of-the-world.aspx?GT1=33009 Wonder if this is the cause of the fire sales....but I guess Jubak is calling the bottom on Oct 23rd!

The question that I wish Tom would have asked at the debate: "You are both saying that we need to cut spending in the face of the large defecits. You both (especially McCain) talk about being a maverick and taking on pork barrel spending. So how exactly did the 700 billion bailout which was...

LOL pleeassee, without liberals we'd still have Palin to laugh at.

I guess my frustration is that the fed insists on being behind. The markets are frozen and a rate cut now would help stabilize the market so that we at least get some time to see how this bailout works. IF the fed is planning on cutting rates at the end of the month why not just do it now...

LOL gimme a break, I hope McCain wins but I'm 99% sure that a McCain presidency will be just as big of a failure as an Obama presidency. The deficit will continue to go higher under either one of these douche bags. Neither one of these morons is going to do whats needed which is cut spending...

Thanks for the responses! I went ahead and rebooted my PC and I'm in now. What a crazy day, I want to use the C word but who knows how much lower this goes..

Once again, an extremely volatile day and I can't login to IB. Anybody else having problems or do I need to check my internet connection.

I'm not really sure what balls you're referring to here. I have to admit I was happy to see the repubs stand up and say no, but as usual they bent over the 2nd time around. On top of that we went from a 700 billion dollar bill to an 850 billion dollar bail out, so I see no balls, just over...

Nice comparison, hadn't thought about it that way :) Either way we're heading into a very rough economic environment and I HOPE that either party will do the unthinkable and actually do the right things to help us get out of this recession with as little damage as possible......I'm not holding...

I agree that she is rehearsed and offers no value but she wasn't chosen to do that. Her only job was to unite the republican base around McCain who were threatening to sit home instead of voting, and to steal women votes based on what she has in common with women between her legs rather than...
