Can they make their vаgіnаs more "human-like" too? Just curious.

This is true. You can (almost) always refinance to get a lower interest rate, but you can never ask for the home price to be lowered.

So with all this bad news, why aren't people freaking out and taking all of their money out of the bank?

Oh, right, the government is rallying the markets to dupe people into thinking everything is fine..

I think it's blatantly obvious they are/were running bank stocks higher in anticipation of diluting the shares to pay back the tarp loans.
Instead of getting all taxpayers to foot the bill, only financial investors are footing the bill, all too willingly, evidently.

Here in the US we just shout at our televisions. Things like "this country is going straight to hell!"

Then we go about our day.

I've had to use the restroom for about 15 minutes but I can't seem to get unglued from the monitor.. OK time to make a run for it, at least I'll have my blackberry.

Think the rally can persist without fins participating?

I'm predominately short at the moment, but I have to say.. I've been hearing for awhile that "credit is hard to get".. Today I setup a new bank account and the clerk said I was pre-qualified for a credit card with a pretty high limit, far higher than anything else I have. Granted, I imagine I have a pretty high credit score, but still....

So personally I'm not sold on the "credit crisis" theory, however I think Americans are maxed out. (kinda hard to manage credit balances and keep up with payments when you lose your job)

Thankfully I've never been in debt a day of my life and I hope I never will be.

The gov't wants to keep these inflated bubble prices, but the consumer is already stretched beyond their means. We really need this recession so we can recover and get back to realistic prices/growth again.

I think my new strategy is to wait for when one of these 3Xs hits a peak, then pick up some puts.. I noticed it early on with SKF, and the extra leverage of FAZ makes it more profitable (and risky..)

It doesn't have to.. Two pretty bad days on RIFIN (two 10% drops in a row) would get FAZ back to nearly 60/share, and still above the lows. But the decay really does do a number on these 3X ETFs.. I remember awhile back people said SKF would never see 200 again and FAZ would never see 100 again..

Yeah I noticed although the market has been up most of the day so far, financials are diving. I don't think we can have a rally without the financials. C is struggling to stay positive/flat.

not sure but looking at the nasdaq it doesn't appear to have really participated in the selloff
