More pain to come …
Still investors cover their short positions before a weekend as manipulation could strike …
But at the end … news is becoming worse every day … so market seemingly has no chance to foot a longer lasting recovery …
As only small banks go bankrupt, the bigger ones get nationalized …
Freddie Mac is about to “ask” for another 35bln$ … just to sqare off Q4 …
Remember they received 14bln$ in November … time flies
Don’t think, that Fannie Mae won’t need money, too …
One thing to be aware of … These 2 companies agreed a 10% interest rate on these government funds … BUT … not even in the GOOD times … they would be able to pay the interest on the already drawn funds … which makes them WORTHLESS … even the few pennies left in stock prices … ARE TOO HIGH!!!
The Washington Post reports … over the weekend …
- that the 700 bln$ bailout package for the financials will need another 300 plus bln$ “upgrade”
- that even the 825 bln$ stimulus package is not big enough and should be “upgraded”
Too be honest … even my self as a BEAR is scared now …
WHY??? I doubt, that my earned money will have any value, when I plan to spend it …
currency reform or hyper inflation … AUTSCH!!!
