    Headlines...

    Taxpayers are against bailout, something like 20-1. Bailout aimed at handing goodies to the people who caused this. Bailout should be directed at unfreezing the short term paper market and reimbursing banks for cramdowns. The derivatives market is unsaveable. Also as I've...

    Which bank will be the next to be taken over???

    Some congresscritter says he knows a big bank is teetering but won't say which one. Can't be BankUnited, so probably is Wachovia.

    Presidential Debate #1

    I managed to listen to the part about the bail out, but fell asleep when the foreign policy stuff started. The hub & son who are O supporters felt McC won by a hair.

    Should I cut loss at 20% on my non-financial related stocks or keep them for better days?

    I dunno, I sold 80% of my stocks last fall. The housing mkt in South Fla had died, and was dying elsewhere, nobody had any money. Was planning to buy back in when the mkt went below 10000 but am seriously re-thinking this. If the bailout passes stocks will go up for a bit, so maybe...

    Now would be a good time to get out of WaMu

    We opened a new account, at SunTrust which is in viewing distance of our WaMu branch. The bank officer said this morning there was something of a traffic jam in WaMu's parking lot. This is on Merritt Island, Fla.

    Which bank will be the next to be taken over???

    BankUnited, my fav-o-rite whipping bank. Thursday eve there was a tap on my door after everybody else had left. It was a fellow in a new green WaMu shirt, going office door to door selling 5% CD certificates. I told him WaMu was going under shortly, and he might look for a new job...

    The day the secondary markets died, truly a scary day.

    It is more important to save the Republic than save the banking system. Anybody who put in that non-review section should not be in power in our country. Many died for our country. we should be willing to be poor(er) for our country. Call your congresspersons. I doubt it will do...

    Economic policy McCain vs Obama... who wins for you and why?

    I think that the answer is jefa's door number 3, no matter who wins or which advisers they pick. It's too big to solve. We are at the top of the rollercoaster, and it doesn't matter whether power is cut or the brakes are applied, the coaster is gonna roll, and we are gonna roll with it...

    Economic policy McCain vs Obama... who wins for you and why?

    Alas, nude, I agree. If the candidates combined the virtues of Washington, Jefferson Lincoln Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman and Reagan, it still wouldn't make enuf difference to save us. But we can make it thru. I think. I am voting for O because I think he will do the best...

    Bush asks Congress for $700 billion for bailout

    Nope. And the bill sez you can't go to court about it either, which I think will be struck down.

    Wish me luck! I'm heading to Houston....

    I was going to suggest that you rent a trailer to live in but I see he has power. Might not be a bad idea anyway. We hired some people to haul all our stuff to the swale from the inside of the house, after I ran a nail into my foot after hurricane Andrew. Paid 'em $600 in 1992 dollars...

    The day the secondary markets died, truly a scary day.

    Well, it's not worth zero. But it's not worth much either.
