Market free fall...
Monday, November 10, 2008
It's time to hibernate!
You ever feel like you hit a wall? Yeah, well - I hit one a few months ago and it still hurts. I like to scratch my back against the wall, but I don't like being up against the wall. It might sound strange at first, but if you think about it, that's how life is sometimes.So a relative of mine was stuck in a moat for a long time, what else? President-elect Barack Obama visited the White House today in Washington, D.C. The market was up today, but then rose as China said it would spend 600 billion but ultimately the dow fell almost 88 points and GM finished the lowest loss in 62 years. AIG is a thorn in my side BTW, that's it - I gotta itch ta' scratch and then it's nap time, like for a few months.

Freddie's Back!
Wall Street, New York Sunday is the best day to lay back, get fat, and watch football. Period. Yesterday was more exciting than most Sundays for more reason than just because Green Bay woodsman is now a New York Jet. Why? Well, unless you have been hibernating, the Japanese markets have been up for 12 hours and the American counterparts are following today on news that Uncle Sam has bought out debt-ridden megaliths, Freddie Mac and Fannie May.I can't tell you how many goddamn times I've heard junior brokers saying that these entities are "Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States." Today the Fed ponyied up, grew up, and saved us some rough times ahead. I am against regulation, fire control, and rangers in our national parks but otherwise I'm a staunch conservative ready to sink his teeth into the next bite of market share or I can wrestle from the arms of the weak.
Freddie and Fannie have made this possible again today as the market looks tender with a feast in sight. It' good to be back Rarrr!

Boo Hoo cry me a river!
Wall Street- So the market underperformed, we all have, I don't see what the big deal is. GE allegedly shook consumer confidence, we'll if GE still wants to be known for incandescent light bulbs, no shit there stock is down. So what can we do, re-invent the microwave? No, we have go natural and think like a bear... instinctual.What would I do If I was in charge of GE?
1. I'd go for it. They can't afford to play second fiddle - I Doubt the airline woes helped out this week, but still produce - you are GE!
2. Crush the competition... How? See number 1 for Produce.
3. Take a day off and take a walk in the trees. If we are going to capitalize on the "green" thing, you are going to have to "think" like a bear and git-r-done, Rarrr! See More at FAQ News Net

Market update with Mother Polar Bear
NORTH POLE--Rrroooaar! Who is talking to my polar cub, I see comments from a wolf! I have to report the market news now Raoooaar!
Stocks will enter the final week of the first quarter with investors hoping to build on nascent gains scored after the near-collapse and subsequent bailout of investment firm Bear Stearns.
Supportive actions by the Federal Reserve, a stronger dollar, and a plunge in commodities prices all seemed to mark a key turn in the credit crisis gripping markets.
"The Bear Stearns story was kind of like the turn-around everybody was waiting for," said Paul Nolte, director of investments at Hinsdale Associates. "In any crisis, things keep getting from bad to worse until something breaks. In this crisis, something did break and that was Bear Stearns."
After a week rocked by even wilder swings than those witnessed since the start of the year, stocks recovered to post their first weekly gains in four weeks, even if the week was shortened by the Good Friday holiday.

Mid-Day Market Update with Panda Bear
(BEIJING) Oh you again! The US market is acting very favorably today, the DOW up almost 280 points right now. This is due to large impending interest cuts, you can read a post from earlier today by Darth Bear, on why that is so important. HERERight now it is also important that China's market goes up to. I will put the US market points below, and believe me, I want them to fall - good day for USA, bad day for China.
