Will THAT be the BOTTOM???
Good morning …
Where do I go wrong?
1. MER gets taken at a HIGH PRICE … POSITIVE
2. AIG gets loan from the FED … POSITIVE
3. LEH bites the dust … freeing the FED from this stupid automatism … BUT makes sure, assets won’t flood the markets … assuring liquidity from a lot of the BIG banks …POSITIVE
We are down 3%!!!! ??????
And ALL markets … despite small Australia were CLOSED today!!!
THIS COULD BE THE BOTTOM
????

I covered all my shorts … and daytrade with a positive attitude … not holding positions, but rather buying dips than selling the spikes …
IT COULD TURN … COULD … We will see … as I am technical … NO PROBLEM to hit it, if it falls further …

It just begins. Now all supports are broken. And only chance is false downside break.

Bearish, my friend?

yes and no. This is the strangest world I have been in. Banks falling like flies. I have portfolios of commercial real estate 15% p.a. yield offered. I have business developement Cos portfolios 1st class 280 Cos 10 billion Cap 20%+ offered.
And Trichet?: “It doesn´t make sense to lower the interest rate. Folks these days pay any price. The problem is to get them liquidity not the yield of.”
I am not too bearish but small long in excellent companies outside the core banking biz and losing money. Those stocks I own should already have turned upwards 20-30% higher. Feeling sad. Staying long.

Thought they would do it like the Chinese did. All banks bancrupt. Happens from time to time
Let them stay on the governments´ bill or at least protect them from being fleaced and wait for the next upturn.
Thought an ex-Goldi-CEO would know how to manage this situation. Hank is an idiot and his whole bunch of GOP succers too. The future price of what we are seeing now will be extreme. As banks fail and you can loose everything within a short glimpse. How else value them as extremely leveraged hedge funds. Result: You want prop capital for a bank. O.k. 30% p.a. + The social costs thus will be a lot, a big lot higher as the price for risk capital for banks will adjust to the risk.

Right you are
Let’s see, what Hank has up his sleeve …
What about a 1%(!!!) cut today?
September 16th, 2008 at 08:12
Won´t happen. Lots of folks I hear are looking for that. Means: If no rate cut further crash.

If you(!) say so
