I "knew" the market was not going to be happy when Bernanke said "1/4-pt cut". Tons of traders were going to have their finger on the "button" waiting for him to say 1/4 or 1/2. From his previous conduct I felt he was going to choose 1/4.

Sometimes things are clear. Sometimes they are clear as mud......

This one was easy. No change-dive, 25bps+25bps dive, 50bps+50bps dive, because people would think that to mean the end of the cuts. When it's what Yah don't know about-just short um out.

I do all I can to give the impression it is not , but it is and will continue to be on the margin around here hear?

Todays market was way over bought and 25,50 or even a rare 100bps would have resulted in very slight and short life little rally. This is alot foreign money comming in at a steady rate which gives the high volume traders too many chances to move very quickly.

Where's gold going? AUY and ABX are down almost 5%. That missing 25bps cut can't be weighting inflation down that much?

Looks like the S&P wants to retest the low 1400s again, currently at 1446. Again, I think it will hold.

Oh my, the mortgage doubt is getting heavy. Where does this end, or even worse, does it ever end ? Welcome to Japan 18 years ago when they played 'LET'S PLAY FANTASY REAL ESTATE PRICES'.

Remember the $2.oo bid for Bear Stearns last week that you the taxpayer are being drafted to bankroll? Well, it 's up to $10.oo today and the stock is trading 30% higher than that. But, this same government doesn't want to underwrite it's citizens families from bankruptsy due to sickness- you can see where the sickness is.

I feel sorry for the employee shareholders and all, but why would you hang your 401K financial future on your own company's stock - or any one stock for that matter? Do they not remember Enron?

Well as someone who went heavily into financial stocks this year I'm breathing a little easier. I got a few jitters after Bear Stearns collapsed but I'm feeling a whole lot better today.

Japan owes some of these mortgage backed securities , but we hear nothing about how much and by whom. Could be a blind side hit comming down the road.

We can waltz around the housing problem and blame any and every one, excepting the people that made the stupid mortgages in conjunction with Real estate agents and the sellers that made all the money. Tell me the crooks don't run this country, go ahead.

I thought it was because it took its hit before the bad news became public knowledge, and now those people are buying back in after it fell beyond its actual real value

Boy, I hope no one here had anything invested in Oshkosh Corp. Their stock lost some 11.29 points today/lost more than a third of its value costing shareholders over $830 million. OUCH!
