Well, woke up to a new oil price record and the markets taking a dump.

[Subdivisions]

New oil record $147.28.

Dow down more than 100. The rest of the markets also not doing well this morning.

And Paulson's about to take your hard earned tax dollars and use them to pay the mortgage default debt of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That's $5 Trillion bucks you really didn't need for gas anyway, right?

2. Is this "the" day? I heard something was going to happen badly in the markets in 3 weeks to 3 months

...or am I just whining? :sarcasm:

3. Paulson and Bernanke have both said

that "financial institutions must be allowed to fail so that we may get the economic correction we need."

From my extensive read of the issue, the crash that is coming any time now should take the S&P from it's current ~1240 down to ~700. That will wipe out the 401ks and retirement savings of millions of people.

All I can say is hold on tight.

Didn't you get the memo?
