[Atlantean_Relic]

Well, I say this Tuesday is turning into a dud, how about we try again next Tuesday?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('big_rc', '
')Bush is working damn hard right now not to keep the economy going down the tubes on his watch. I feel for the next president. He/she will have hell to pay and possibly a depression to manage due to the moves being played out right now.

[bodigami]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('spear', 'I') cant see how this wont affect everyone.All I keep thinking is gas prices going up,food prices going up.
Very bad.Very bad.

It's certainly all fixed. Only TPTB know when they'll reign in the PPT and crash the market, which will probably be when the most people least expect it.[/quote]

the most people least expect it now.

[Daculling]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'I')ts standard operating procedure.

[mmasters]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('perdition79', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('I_Like_Plants', 'B')ut a rate cut won't fix it. May relieve things for oh...... 3 hours?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tyler_JC', 'I') shorted the market big time with my UpDown fantasy stock market account.

Forget about it, you can't even make money going long. there is no timing this market when the big boys step in and blow the party just when you start to get rich...

Like today, would have been perfect to short,,, except,,, it didnt go down that far, did it?

[PenultimateManStanding]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('clammm', ' ')it didnt go down that far, did it?

Slowly but surely the European indexes have amounted losses of between 3 and 4% again today, which are big losses in almost any circumstance; S&P futures indicate a loss of 2.5% while Nasdaq futures are down 3.5%

correction: within a blink of an eye all the European indexes are now down 4.5% S&P futures 3.5%

[DoubleD]

I think yesterday's little rally after the rate cut announcement will only amount to a dead cat bounce. Just a blip up on the rollercoaster ride down.

[Atlantean_Relic]

So will today be dead hump day?

[Zardoz]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Atlantean_Relic', 'S')o will today be dead hump day?

[Bas]

yes, pretty tame selling so far, not very exciting though a week of 2% losses also adds up. Damn that Ben Bernanke for spoiling all our fun!
