James has a point. It is very hard to agree with one part of the “crisis” or the other when it really doesn’t affect you.

Everyone is going to be starving on the streets, and the worse is that the media will just look over them like they don’t exist. Kind of what they do now, with the tent cities going up in places. Really, if people aren’t ready to shelter and find food for each other as well for themselves, then we all are going to suffer.

LOLZ the world thinks Americans are poor and in complete poverty. Granted I have lost thousands in mere months, But when all these chicken rich people get done selling, I’m already sitting here buying shares at unprecidented discounts. If everything is so bad why then, on my meager 50k a year am I still eating well, living in a decent home, driving two nice (well one nice one semi nice) cars..Kids fed clothed etc etc etc. Tighter than it used to be yup. Crisis or poverty? Not by a long shot. My definition of poverty = oh noes i have to eat hamburgers, hotdogs, beans and ramen noodles, I may have to roll some change on thursday to have gas to get to work on Friday. My parents ironed clothes from dusk until dawn to have less than I have. Americans whine to much as poverty is being without food and/or shelter. Let the bottom fall out of the stock market..I’ll just laugh at them as I scavenge.

Greenspan quote:

” Ahh What Recession….ahh…who…I sold my investments awhile back….dopes?”

It started with the war on the poor. Now it’s the war on middle class.

Hey Allen Greenspan here’s a lesson when you make speeches in Congress like yesterday. Don’t say the word “tsunami” to Asians before they start trading. That’s like yelling “fire” in a theatre filled with burn victims in wheelchairs.

Re: Sapient

Good question but it always seems that our stock market mimics the “future market” which dropped -550 earlier this morning and shut down automatically. The future market will reopen this morning exactly as the DOW opens…9:30 A.M. Eastern Time.

The DOW Jones is going to be so crazy today, I’m going to video tape the financial channel. This is as exciting as the Super Bowl. The DOW auto shut down goes into effect at -1100 . Let’s see if we can hit that in less than an hour. I want this country to become a financial basket case starting today. In this way, when all is smashed and broken, only then we can remove the crooks and demand honest people running the American financial system. Stock up like you would a hurricane or earthquake because in the famous words of Jackie Gleason …..”HERE WE GO” !
