Quote from robbie380:

as i asked in another thread....how would this be good for the shareholders? if the govt takes an equity stake in either then there would be massive dilution of the common stock.

maybe they will buy EXISTING stock.

Hell they're on the hook anyways, might as well get all the potential upside.

NYTimes is saying they are seeking a hike to Federal Debt Levels.

Atta boy. Run those presses. They can't sell newspapers anymore. Use those presses and use newsprint.

this is like one big boil on your ass. It's real painful, but when you get it lanced, get all the junk one time. It'll hurt like hell, but it's worth it.

We need to purge Washington of these moronic criminals - both sides of the isle. This is the opportunity.

you do know that every year we have to hike federal debt levels, is is normal? i think congress has to vote every year upon it

Why is it that this guy HedgeFundTrader2 is suddenly back?

And again with his innane and multiple posts that wreak of "hold'n'hope".

i guess you aren't or don't want to see this as a small bounce and again more gains for the shorts.

"Un-American" my foot - you just hope things go up because of inexperience.

I thought you were gone like stock_trd3r. What happened, your parents gave you another 5k account to blow up?

Nothing like falling dominos trying to prop up other falling dominos.

The Feds need to order more printing presses for I would assume the current ones are melting at this speed.

Actually check out the gold (GLD) action. It's the only holder of value that can't be printed or manufactured by the FED.

im guessing it looks something like the action in copper, oil, ect ect.

Quote from SteveD:

The sheer economic ignorance on ET is truly outstanding.......

Very obvious why none of you make any money.....

You people simply don't know the difference between IndyMac (bank), FNM (Gov Agency) and LEH (investment bank)

Employment at 95%, interest rates at 6%, inflation at 3%.....gimme a break.....

I had jumbo CD's paying me 16% interest in 1981/2!!!!!

Inflation above 10%.....unemployment over 10%....prime interest rates at 21%....that is not a typo......21%.....

SteveD

Agree there. However, interest rates can't be compared that easily.
