08:37am CST Buy Point Tomorrow

Let me paint a picture for tomorrow:

At open, Dow down 400+/S&P 45+, VIX spikes to 32.5+, rapid selling of AIG, LEH (obviously), C, XLF, GS, MS, WM, then selling programs/margin liquidation stop and a buy point emerges. VIX settles down, Dow/S&P ranges. This is all done in the first 7 minutes of RTH trading then we gradually go up through the day.
Happened after January scare, Bear Stearns, Fannie/Freddie July scare, same thing to happen tomorrow.
 
And, hasn't this always marked a SHORT-TERM bottom?

:D :D :D

IMPORTANT NOTICE regarding Intraday Margin

In light of the market volatility and the continuing turmoil in
financial services stocks, IB will eliminate intraday margin
reductions. Commencing at 10:30 P.M. EST today, contracts which
utilize value-at-risk margin models such as SPAN, Eurex, or TIMS in
the commodity sub-account. Traders may consult the account window in
the Trader Work Station to see what the overnight margin will be. We
expect that intraday margin reductions will remain suspended for
subsequent trading sessions and we will make further announcements as
market conditions develop.

Regardless of the likelihood of large, rapid changes in market
conditions, we recommend that traders examine their portfolios to
consider their exposure under extreme-move scenarios.

Yea, another cut in the discount rate. That's really going to help... I think Aunt Ben fucked up big with that huge cut last year. REALLY DUMB....
 
aig is in no worse shape than wb or c yet its stock price collapse by relentless fear has paralyzed it. once they can get short term funding to stop this onslaught aig will be fine.
