    Be honest: Who here has noticed lack of credit, hardship borrowing, etc?

    Yes, seriously! A Realtor I spoke with on the same day said she's getting swamped with calls from Mtg. brokers that are going begging for business. Like trading, some do very well, and most don't. The one's that are doing very well are in business to stay I guess. Writing loans every day...

    Federal funds rate jumps to 7 %

    Speaking of the so called Credit Crunch, I was at a real estate closing yesterday and spoke with a Mtg. Broker. The lady said she hadn't seen any problems getting a loan, and was writing 97% LTV's all day long. With good credit and proof of income, you can buy a house! Amazing huh?

    Tax on Trades Should Be Part of Rescue Plan, Some Democrats Say

    Tax on Trades Should Be Part of Rescue Plan, Some Democrats Say

    I wrote MY Congressman in protest, and also implored him to tell Chris Cox to lift the ban on shorting. My analogy was "A car with no brakes can only crash". No short=no brakes. I trade futures, but no shorts for stocks affects me too. We're all affected by the "decisions" these people make...

    Is there a relationship between street-drug prices and financial markets?

    Probably some validity to that theory. I've heard from anonymous Fed. Law Enforcement sources that if we legalized drugs, our banks would surely fail. Another interesting theory that I"d like to see tested.
