Watching what is happening in the USA from Australia. What stops me from feeling sorry for you all is the fact you all voted for the Republicans TWICE!! Have you forgotten the last Bush so quickly? It gives me great satisfaction watching it all go down the tubes there in the USA...

I can't believe it! I am actually going to agree with a Canadian on this one!

Good post. While all this is happening broking houses down here are telling people to buy..buy..buy..BUY!!! the oversold financials. Ya gotta laugh!

If Al Gore had won Florida and become President, would Greenspan have kept rates at 1% for 3 years? Just wondering...

No, this is going the way of Thornburg Mortgage. Wamu is the one the rest are ganging up on. They are going to club it to death any day now....

LOL Bush's America... You guys voted for him twice! FUCKIN' TWICE!!!!! ROFL

This was a tip-off, a reward,a present for America for keeping their stupid meddling noses out of Russia during the elections. Bout was just a pawn in the 'Big Game'. Now when are you going to charge Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush et at for fabricating evidence and treason?

Do bin Laden's work for him and get Bush/ Cheney in a third time!

Wasn't it the middle class who kept voting for him?

I think there may be an Australian ETF somewhere. If there is one I would short or buy puts extending out to 09. Definately. Also the AUD$ is an over-valued abortion of a currency. I would buy FXA puts out to 09. The Australian markets have a lot further to fall IMHO.

Our banking sector is down 33% Our heavily geared listed property sector is down around 85% on average. Our specialist finance companies will file for bankruptcy soon The only thing I'm invested in down here is AWB:AX

..oh by the way futures in Asia are WAY down... I think you'll see a very bad day over there in the USA. Was George Bush really surprised that gas was expensive? On the news down here, he looked like an ape that saw fire for the first time I think you yanks have a sense of humour for...

It allows the banks to refinance (same banks that in a large part caused the 'subprime' crisis)

chess? LOL why chess? I hope you aren't one of those characters who hang around the schizophrenics playing chess in parks. What is wrong with shogi and go? These games are far superior to chess. As I am more of a (succesful!) long term investor and consider myself superior to floor traders...
