So Chuck and Lisa,
let me quess what is going to be next victim - job market? what about higher cost and lower margins? It seems now more like stagflation … now it is scary and will drift around the world… comodities are UP, oil UP, gold UP, dollar -(anybody surprised?) DOWN…
Lisa, It’s expiration Friday. Where is the manufactured news such as the Govt. plan to save everyone holding a mortgage. It’s strange that there is nothing YET today forcing the shorts to run for the hills. Am I just paranoid? Nahhh.. the manipulation will march on!
EXPIRATION FRIDAY FAKE NEWS! I knew it would happen. Paulson speaking at the moment. (paraphrase)”This housing plan will not use tax payer dollars.” Yeah, but he neglects to mention that FRE and FNM will HAVE to be rescued with TAX PAYER dollars when they implode.
