Quote from jasonjm:
ok so ignoring Jim Cramer, who actually thinks this giant mess can sort itself out without any intervention?
we are heading right towards a giant liquidity freeze, housing meltdown, stock market crash, dollar devaluation and out of control inflation, joblessness, and probably depression, all at the same time
You need to make a distinction between LIQUIDITY and the REPRICING OF RISK.
They are not the same.
In the meantime, the Fed's Discount Window is always open to the banking system . . . Cramer knows this. He's just being an emotional putz as usual.
If the "Street" wishes to price these instruments "privately", then that's their own fault.
Again, contrary to what Cramer was implying, the Discount Window is OPEN.
I'm sure the FED will remind everyone of this basic fundamental fact come Tuesday.
Cramer looked like a Bozo.
Ranting and raving . . . it's no wonder he didn't have a heart-attack. The only thing that I agreed with him on was what the idiot was saying on the BSC conference call. What a moron. To pull that stuff late on a Summer Friday in an extremely skittish market and downtrend is so amateurish that it almost makes you wonder if the guy was short.
Amazing.
