Kind of ironic, isn't it? :cool:

Is this guy on crack? 50 DVDs at $20 a piece = $1000 a month? This fool deserves to lose everything he has if he thinks he can throw money out of the window like that.

Tens of billions with a $5bln investment into GS? Right.

A recent Bloomberg article stated that Buffet made an offer to Fuld for injecting capital into Lehman with a similar preferred share deal. Buffet buying preferred seems to be no 'cant goto zero' guarantee for GS.

A hedge fund going out of business? They should Give Ken "The Vulture" Griffin a call, I am sure he'll offer 10 cents on the dollar!! Oh wait.. never mind :cool:

There are plenty of countries trying to shield themselves from trade and international competition. They're not doing well.

You're right. The market bottom in 1974 came five full months before the official end of the recession. It probably won't be any different this time. Just got to keep an open mind and stay flexible; a feat not easily accomplished by just anybody here, judging by the posts :cool:

Maybe they will be revised to 350k or maybe to 150k. BLS NFP numbers have a sampling error of +/- 100k. This goes in both directions.

So you're not actually trading are you? Just posting threads with Bloomberg headlines every other day on how "things will get much much" worse? Let me guess. Rationalizing every day why you're sitting on cash instead of trading?
