It's amazing that we have not heard a whiff in the news about
the Taliban closing in on gaining the nukes in Pakistan. I hear
conspiracy theories about the gov't spreading only good news
recently to prop up the Market, but I expected the free press
to get around that - I guess not.

This issue could be what really gets people scared if goverment
cannot get this under control soon. I'm sure it would affect
the markets.

The current administration sure has an adversarial(sp) approach
with Wall St.
one has to wonder why @ this point in time with us sending
letters to the russians and begging China for cash we would be
picking a fight with Wall St.
Simple, Wall Street caused the entire mess. Should they get
awards, or maybe a bonus?

that is safe to go long is financials and a couple of chip
players. UYG whats your down side risk? not
much...I think the administration is now so arrogant and prideful
that they will not stop at anything to make the banks work, come
hell or high water. What they should have done is make them
fail, but they will throw money and then discount the return until
thebanks are all sitting pretty again. This administration is
so scarey. the good thing is this financial package was
presented in time for us taxpayers to VOTE OUT the Congress in two
years, before they vote YES to this obama package. JUST MY
OPINION, and not to offend anyone, who does not agree with me, as
prob most dont agree with me. :)

Behind the scenes, it seems that perhaps the big boys know
something that the individuals don't, when will Timmy speak???
as he could easily rally the banks/financials. I thought
he would have already spoken by now. Shorts are oh so very
tempting, but risk is very high for a big bad wedgie, if this
banking/financial sector jumps up.
Care to comment on the fact $BKX and XLF finished positive today
while the rest of the broad market was down......very abnormal of
late and hasn't happened in this whole bear market as far as I
know......Is this not significant positive divergence as the market
has been held down this whole time by the financials?
Sign that a bottom may be close??
How can this be scary?? The last administration went to war on a
lie and did not pay for it. Left the entire country bankrupt with a
trillion dollar deficit. Ruined the international reputation of the
the USA. You are in good hands, rest easy.

The mkt is no longer acting like a mkt, it is rather a TA lab
environment because there are no investors to give it a sense of
direction. Triangles, wedges, channels, you name it. This started
when we had to trade off political decisions about the mkt made in
Washington, and until now and in the forseeable future there will
be more uncertanty because Washington's meetings will be
increasingly decisive in the mkt's price action. Untill Washington
is out of the way there will not be investors arround... and we
will miss them bad. Because TA can help you understand the mkt but
TA will never be
the mkt. Markets are made by suply and demand not by
Washington and TA...Just my way of looking at it and if someone
does not agree it's fine because I do not hold the absolut
truth.
We all wish Washington was not involved. Can not ignore the
reason for their involvement........good ole free market Wall
Street ruined the entire world economy and then went begging for a
bailout.

That's just it... the press
isthe government - it's
the marketing department for the democrat party. This isn't a
conspiracy theory, it's a statistical, demographic fact: 90%
of the people in print and on tv news are registered democrats.
It's the numbers that raise the key question and insight:
what is it about controlling news messages that's so
appealingto democrats that
they're so vastly, statistically OVER-REPRESENTED in this
field?
Naked political power. Plain and simple. My Baby Boomer
generation went into the press to be advocates for their worldview,
not to report. They're now in the controlling positions of most
news organizations and are so convinced of the veracity of their
beliefs that it isn't even overt bias anymore. Liberalism
simply exudes from their pores. Many have probably never had their
views challenged in any serious way. At this point it's just part
of the cultural landscape and probably won't change until we start
to die off.
