For the investor crowd, it really would be better to have a massive volume, blazing one day crash, than have to endure this Chinese water torture that does nothing to improve forward clarity. A 1987 style crash would shave off 2464 points from the Dow, 400 points from the Nasdaq and roughly...

Just when I thought it was too late to short these dogs, because the fat tail money had been banked.

I downloaded Comodo but haven't installed it. I've seen some very mixed reviews, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. For me, ZoneAlarm has served me well. I don't what the compelling reason to switch to Comodo would be unless issues like this most recent one become a lot more frequent.

There are some interesting comments being offered here, and I appreciate it. I do think I'm probably too diversified for a market such as this, Mvic. Dr.Steph, I don't take any offense at what you said, because what you said about how easy it is for you to succeed in this market is...

If our government follows through with this, every single representative voting to bail them out should be recalled. Every last one. They will add 5 trillion to the debt of the U.S. (taxpayers) with one fell swoop. I have never, ever seen such utter criminality in my life. I will...

makloda is right; because I didn't have correct short positions established some time ago, I feel like I'm going for broke by trying to establish a short entry point now, when there's not much left to be had. Three examples that others may be thinking about (so I'll use them): Lehman...

Okay. You can take it from me that if you download ZoneAlarm and instead of reinstalling, just update ZoneAlarm, you can let Microsoft automatically reinstall the hotfix that was causing the problem, set internet privacy settings to high, and you'll have no problems. ZoneAlarm fixed the...

Focus, yes. That is what I'm definitely lacking. This market is insane, though. I mean, it's Charles Manson crazy.

Oh my G_d!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A nation firing missiles off into the sky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're DOOOOOOOOMEEED!!!!!!!!!! (Just trying to play along nice with the oil bulls)

That's it; I was going to vote for Ron Paul, but not since Gramm made those comments. I'm now voting for Krusty the Clown.

CNBC's blaming crude now, too? Damn. I'm going short. When NBC allows smack talk about speculation, you know it's going down, baby!

CNBC is owned by General Electric. There's a conflict of interest for you. Merrill Lynch owns a piece of Bloomberg, but Bloomberg seems better about self-policing itself, IMO, and the dynamics aren't quite the same as they are with a gigantic network such as CNBC and General Electric (and NBC...

It's probably just me, and obviously things are gloomy now, but is anyone else feeling as if they have little energy or just feel whipsawed to the point of wanting to run to that little corner of risk aversion? If not, what's keeping you motivated, you BSDs? I'm not losing coin, but feel...

LMAO! Someone needs to post video of Ron Paul ripping Paulson and Bernanke a new one on their alleged 'Strong Dollar Policy.' I loved it when Ron Paul told the committee that there is a simple alternative to having a federal reserve - have none! It was great to see the truth of his...

Great post. Normally, I'd view a shout out from CEOs of one industry with skepticism, but in this case, they're right. And they're not the only industry convulsing from the record speculation - far from it. Automakers, restaurants, retailers of every kind, home builders, etc. and on and...

Man, you're buying some high multiple coal producers at a time when coal has risen mainly because alternatives have, and those alternatives may not be stable in terms of pricing. Not only that, but global economic growth is decelerating. Look at auto sales, housing, airlines, financials...

There is no bottom here. It's really looking like a BSC situation, and Lehman would have probably already went under if Paulson and Bernanke hadn't had a fire drill with BSC and were already on alert and ready to intervene immediately.

I'm super tired this morning, so I may not be at my best, but - Is the author being tongue-in-cheek here? Is he really stating that psychology is worse than reality? I see that string of thought running through the piece, even though I think he's serving notice that the problems we face...

The 'workaround' they advise is what I've already done. Are they saying the newest versions of ZA play nice with the MS hotfix? If so, I don't think so. I just updated ZA and it is still not compatible.

Quoting myself here from yesterday, because today's Financial Times has a great piece that hits on some of the same themes (mainly, that oil is not only in a bubble, but a tremendous and 'Chinese-centric' one, at that)...
