“damn - down 307 points!

Does anybody else sense great joy coming from y2?

I wonder what country he really is cheering for.”

“Sheeyat. I wish we were part of the commonwealth right now. The pound is the top currency in the world. They're getting $2 US for their $1.”

“"Does anybody else sense great joy coming from y2?"

No, but I sense great reaction of the reactionary variety.............and not from Y2.

Interesting opinion piece.

Big business and the federal government have worked hand in hand to squeeze the daylights out of working people, stripping them (in an era of downsizing and globalization) of much of their bargaining power while ferociously pursuing fiscal policies that radically favored the privileged few.

So having helped to shift the balance of power to the ultra rich they are now scrambling to hand out $800. That'll solve the fundamental problem here ..... obviously.

Having ignored the plight of most of the population for so long, suddenly their stock portfolios are at risk so the President and congress suddenly decide they can work together.”

“It'll move the 'W' rating up 25bps, while Bernanke moves cheap money index down 50bps. When rates(fedfunds and discount)go down the rich get to use that money first to buy up the cheap RE, stocks and all the other things they've kicked off of the table. Remember these are the stocks and RE they sold at higher prices just months ago .
The federal reserve cycle goes on and on.How long ago were they fighting inflation-what a farce.”

“Hard times,
Hard times,
Downtown Julie Brown!”

“

or Stephen Foster?


While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! hard times, come again no more

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh! Hard times, come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh Hard times, come again no more

There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day -
Oh! Hard times, come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh Hard times, come again no more

'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave
'Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave -
Oh! Hard times, come again no more

'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Oh Hard times, come again no more

“A friend of mine squeezed downtown julie brown's buttox. Her bodyguards weren't happy.”

“3/4 pt cut outside of normal meeting schedule.”

“For which economy? The U.S. or yours?”

“How long ago were we madly going the other way to fight inflation? As I have said, a 5% cap gains hike 18 months ago would have avoided all of this.As Jim Cramer says,'they know nothing'.”

“So, good time to put some fresh money in?”

“Today is probably another false bottom, but remember -you may not see last weeks prices for 5 years or you may see Oct. 31st prices again next week. relatively speaking it is a better time than it was in Oct.”

“hmmm....interest rates down - maybe it's time to look into refinancing.”

“market seeing something of a bounce.
Worrying thing is how bad they think things must be to do this.”

“Y2, that sounds a lot like you global warming consensus folks worrying about how bad global warming must be to see such cold temperatures around the world! LMAO.”

“Mission accomplished huh Mutt.”

“If the economy was going downhill as much as the libbies have said, each week, since Bush took office, we'd be standing in line for toilet paper by now.

Isn't it the libbies who are adamant against fear-mongoring?”

“Mutt - you don't see what was eseentially an emergency move to slash interest rates - such an emergency it couldn't wait another week, as a sign as something is not so good out there?”

“I've seen a lot of chicken-littleism lately. A self-fulfilling prophesy by those idiots and the media is rather worrying.

“Just keep following the herd, Y2. Critical thought is for fools.”

“But you don't really exhibit any do you. 'Critical' thought seems to be beyond you.
You just maintain the status quo should remain - constantly.

Just insisting everything is ok and going to plan on almost every issue out there is hardly supporting evidence for original thought is it.

You can't even see far enough out of your own herd mentality to keep from projecting it on me. LOL”

“yeah, good come back Mutt - dealt with the points there huh?”

“So what we got

1) Iraq - broad strategy working
2) Economy - everything is fine
3) Global warming - nothing to worry about
4) Gun laws - keep them as they are
5) Healthcare - leave things in place

And you have the front to accuse others of being sheep.”

“message from StoveStomper being ignored

Hmmmm, shall I open these posts to see what pearls of wisdom these gibbering idiots have dispensed?

I wonder what they could be. They won't be predictable that's for sure, certainly not moronic.
Perhaps they are offering some insight into the future, some details of how their own investments are faring, perhaps some suggestions on policies or measures to help things out.............. perhaps not.
