Give credit where credit is due: Clinton (gave China MFN trading status) Greenspan (kept interest rates way too low for way too long; spoke lovingly of derivatives) Bush (nice 3 trillion dollar misadventure in Iraq, into a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 [I supported...

I wouldn't be as comfortable. I'm not saying your judgment is misplaced; I'm just saying all these brokerage firms, including Goldman, are literal houses of cards right now, with all kinds of exotic and bizarre financial assets that are hard to understand, and even harder to assess a valuation.

How's your index (paper trading) faring? Let me guess: You sold all your long positions at their absolute highs and booked (imaginary) profits, and you're now (paper trading) short?

"I see a lot of value out there." "I am very bullish at this time." "I see the S&P rising 38% this year." See ya', Abby.

Sell all your shares to the PPT on any rallies.

What is your opinion of Jerry Falwell, his statements, and his relationship with and influence on the GOP (separation of church/state, holding out evangelical christianity as a state-sanctioned religion in the U.S., talking of the attacks of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina as punishment upon the...

I'm just not sure in what order. Can someone do a photoshop or something since today will we be a hunker and wait time for us swing traders. I can't WAIT to watch Kudlow today.

Cramer is CNBC's 'go-to' guy on CNBC this morning on Squawk Box. They are asking him his opinion on what is the trade off the BSC fiasco. Can you even farking believe CNBC? They should roll the tape on Cramer's recent BSC call and ask him how it feels to be a knob. But oh that CNBC...

You are the biggest tool in the world. If you come back with your ninth handle, be a little more creative with the screen name selection.

Legg Mason should be fine. They are pretty conservative (truly), and I highly doubt they bet the house on deadbeat mortgages, as Schwartz and Bear Stearns obviously did. Merrill? Anything is possible with those numb nuts.

I hate to compare him to Jimmy Cramer, but.... Wait, maybe that's unfair to Cramer.

Isn't it, though? I mean, this guy is such a wanker. Seriously, I know a lot of people masturbate to his poster and everything, and think he was so brilliant, but in reality, he helped in no small way to create this problem. He then spoke (as you said) lovingly of derivatives for a long...

...without any authority. If Bailout didn't happen with guarantee of Fed, bonuses would not have been paid to BSC employees. Roger's was going nuts on Bloomberg at about 5:30 am. I can't say I blame him. Roger's also screamed 'get the hell out of the dollar.' I'm not sure sure he's...

I only slept for 3 hours or so and couldn't get back to bed. Woke up to Ole' Greenspan running his pie hole. He may be right, but such irony, as he provided the rocket fuel for the very problem he speaks of with such conviction now. Greenspan Sees Many Casualties From Crisis: Report...

Exactly. Let it go. It could have been a lot worse. You entered into a risky trade, and got your ass handed to you (in no small part to Bernanke and his comrades - be sure to send him a thank you card). If you had bought 20,000 shares, and I guarantee you that some people did, you'd be...

No where capitulation yet. IMO. Not even remotely close. Too many bulls, and too much bottom fishing right now.

There have been quite a few people here that have witnessed the handwriting on the wall. The fed almost seems hell bent on a suicide pact; that's what I don't get. All they have accomplished so far is to panic the world, and to diminish their credibility to do anything other than destroy...

Look at the title of this thread. Multiply by 10x. Happy trading.

Panic. We will now have a market crash. It's guaranteed. Watch all global equity markets crash and burn. The fed just did the truly bizarre.

Unqualified yes.
