Where were they when the s&p was @ 800.58 in 2003? Let me guess, you sold the spooz @ 1527.46 in 2000, and bought @ 800.58 in 2003.

I love it when the 'working group' intervenes. All they do is buy a little time, and in the process, magnify the scope of the problem.

First, this guy obviously knows his stuff, is not an alarmist, and is not overstating the extent of the problem. He's absolutely right, and unfortunately, no politician(s) will heed his warning. And the U.S. will be far worse off for it, collectively. Second, I propose passing the...

How many long positions are you going to enter this week? Are you catching the falling knives of the stock_trdr index? Post a journal. I'd love to see you going long here.

Okay, so we're almost done with the writedowns and associated damage, right? Hardly, S&P. Get ready for the follow-up tsunami, because it's already on the way: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/15/business/15risk.html?em&ex=1205812800&en=385f57e170b3e482&ei=5087%0A News Analysis A...

Do you honestly think a rate cut to ZERO would do any good? It will just hammer the dollar into peso territory. We'll have stckturdr's 200 oil for sure, then. And a depression.
