GET THE HELL OUT

Quote from Wayne Gibbous:

One of the great calls on ET. You were a tiny bit early, but much better than the average non-permabears, who were screaming "It won't be that bad..."


Absolutely. Nice call!

Oh, I agree it won't be straight down.

I actually think gifted traders (true traders) can have a feast on the volatility here, too.

We'll see sharp up and down days. But I'm convinced earnings (a few companies like RIM excepted) are going to absolutely tank.

Some sectors will perform better than ever.

I see, taste, feel and read recessionary forces. I'm not just piggybacking off of Bernanke's or anyone else's views.

The consumer has a look of mixed angst, anger, frustration and fatigue painted on their face, as they fill their gas tank, or buy groceries.

Nostradamus reincarnated... damn... now i've got to go back and read more of your posts. Bold call out... vindicated flames. the headlines were uncanny to the playout.

Thanks everyone.


The bastards hid all the crap in these CDS's, CDO's and other 'instruments,' it's now actually causing countries to act in concert to try and save the world banking system - I knew it was bad - I did not know, nor could anyone know, how bad it was.

In fact, the scary part is that we still don't. Look at Morgan Stanley today.

MS is getting crucified because no one trusts that even they know what the amount of their exposure to toxic debt, and certainly can't quantify it in monetary terms. They can just guess.

This is very bad. Very, very bad.

U.K. banks have gotten sodomized, which is what forced Gordon Brown to essentially nationalize them - and that's precisely what we're going to end up doing, in essence, despite whatever they call it.

Look for lengthy short-sale bans to be put into place globally, as well as additional, desperate measures.

Also, look for a massive consolidation of banks in the U.S., with many regionals getting consumed under the Treasury's directive by large banks, and look for many of the community and regional banks to just be shut down.

Russia and Brazil are getting absolutely reamed.

Can't wait till 3:30 est!!!
 
It's easy to make a great call but the question is: did you trade your call? That is tougher to have the courage of one's convictions!
 
Right again.

Get out. Get he hell out of the market and go short. Forget volatility and trading. Just get out.

There will be a vicious, swift correction in weeks, not months, as institutional finally lose any faith that the U.S. Central Bank can't deal with the problems we have. The Federal Reserve is impotent, and it will take a colonic cleansing of bad debt, wiping balance sheets clean, and bankrupting many companies, before clarity can return, and real economic growth can be possible again.

You will be able to buy equities at much cheaper levels once this process runs its course - probably in 9 to 14 months.

Stamp this date and see where we are 3 months from now. I'm not leaving ET if I'm wrong (although I'm highly confident I'm right), but I'll definitely not avoid this thread, and I'll eat crow in front of all if I am.

The market has given a final chance to get out of your long positions at non-catastrophic levels. Seize the opportunity to do so.
