Hopefully the DOW will go to 13,500 so I can puke all over myself.

BTW the FDIC just listed another bank failure, if you didn't hear about it already. ANB Financial based out of AR.

Let's see Rob, that makes.... Metropolitan Savings Bank, NetBank, Miami Valley Bank, Douglass National Bank, Hume Bank and now ANB Financial since this all started collapsing. Oh and BTW we have already tied last year in bank failures.

S&L Crisis = 150 billion
Stimulus Checks = 150 billion
I think you need better ammunition.

Thank you stimulus check! I wonder where the 150 billion will flow through? Maybe, it'll go to oil and help futher consumption..further exacerbate the demand for gas (price will go futher)...there will be a big thump due to the spike in oil price. All thanks to the simulus check! Man, it seems like all things are funneled to oil.

Should I claim victory?
If I had a cookie I would give it to you - but daughter just had the last one. 8)
All I can say is that I am glad hub dumped our major holding at the beginning of the week. We bought back in today though.......happy thoughts, happy thoughts.

We are riding a very thin line on the dow, if we see another significant downturn, we could touch the lows from the .COM bust. If those do not hold... eek.
As of today victory!
but what of Tuesday?
PPT going to be in overdrive scheming the long weekend away.

I am still waiting for an implosion and this weekend, which would be a good time for one.
The FED stated that there will be no more rate cuts, no matter what happens to the economy.
Oh, and they also stated that unemployment will be devastating.
When did they state that? At the exact moment the DOW retraced the valley of the peaks. May 21st.
What does that mean? I haven't a clue, but it cannot be good.

Aldreth... although I dont really care about the DOW, since I have no money invested in the stock market.... I hope your wrong.... and gas prices suck...lol
Sorry - she needed it more. 8)
We are wary of the chartology. Kind of a rock and a hard place though. You sit out totally and there is a good chance of feeling burned too.

I think we have a little more time - But, Aldreth - you're right on... I give it at least another year or two... It'll be a long drawn out process as the recession gets worse, less businesses open up, all of the speculators with commercial property begin losing because the revenue doesnt come in... It's a slow time line, and it won't be a 2 week thing...

How's the preserve loooking. I heard some clown say they finally sold out. Which translates into there will be some openings in the not too distant future! Are you prepared to deal with the cow doodoo stench and the horrible fly problem? hang in there.

---Good. One of the very few who even know it does exist.

Here's what I don't get: Where are all the people that should be thanking Aldreth for taking the time and effort to help?
IMHO Those who listened and reaped the benefit should check in. I know who you are--- Say something already :*)
Why should Aldreth and others continue to expend their time and energy when it appears to go no where?

My blog will shut down tonight at 10pm 5/23/08. Enough. Bring it here.



The second leg of the downturn will start within 2 weeks, watch the DOW and call me on it :)
Don't you just love predictions? I sure do :) If I am wrong, I don't get a cookie :(
Keep an eye on commercial real estate REIT's specifically, they are about to implode as are mortgage rates. There is such a preponderance of fairy tales, pink ponies, care bears and positivity out there that only one thing can remain certain. Reality is about to rear its ugly head.
You know what, if these delusions of grandeur go on much longer, I'll just start myself a Bank, I'd also like to loan out 10 bucks for every dollar I receive, any takers? I'll name it ...
