Game Over (Game On?) for Financial Markets?

Apparently you have zero idea -or- memory of how any of this started

Man, when I changed jobs a couple year ago to go write credit union software did I ever fall into the right field.

Yeah, I am glad I am young. I can put some money in the market when I’d bottoms and wait until I retire. Sucks for my parents though.

Just as long as we don’t turn into a dictatorship.
I wouldnt even put it past bush, mccain, or obama to do it. They are greedy SOB’s.

Ya I am not too worried being young. Its just a cycle. My parents are smart. They have like 1/2 their retirement in a stock fund and then split the other 1/2 between lower interest investments that are guaranteed and backed so they can live off that while this market levels out.

I know what I’m being fed, I’m just saying.

Ha is any stock up today? Even all of nymex is down (including gold).

AGM.
I don’t know what it is, but its on the related stocks list for fannie and freddie. its up 18%

Intresting. Anyone find articles if this stock is involved in any bailouts?

lol “farmer mac”

I guess it’s a good time to bet the farm. :biglol:

ugh. srsly? too lazy or just not interested enough to find out? This all kicked off in the mid-late 1990s.

ugh, proper cliffs are way too long of a post, heres a what I can fit on a post it note, more indepth next time we go out, if you want to hear it.

My point is that I sincerely doubt any of the “powers that be” were capable enough to have started planning this ~12 yrs ago AND have it hit just in time for THIS POTUS ELECTION.

Those of the conspiratorial religious beliefs - tell me how the illuminati were able to plan this entire scheme to include all of the fundamentals that shifted when 9/11 rolled around? This entire mess predates that, and all of the huge effects that it had on the markets.

The facts, documents, numbers, & reg’s are out there… try looking into them sometime. Makes for some interesting reading.

The conspiratorial people believe 9/11 was all part of it.

^“I’m not just a client, I’m the president”?

Show me the person that predicted the unprecedented changes that occurred with that event and then let me tell you about this bridge that I have for sale.

I’m out.

It doesn’t predate the first WTC bombing now does it?:wink:

it reached -800. Insane. what does everyone think it will do tomorrow?

Its funny how everyone bashes bush’s economic policies yet he was the one who kept the country from collapsing after 9/11. The world trade center going down effected the WORLD economy, not just the US. The reason that the economy is going to shit right now is from the greedy fucking democrats who made it so damn near everyone could be a home owner. Sure it makes them look good on paper…now the poor people can have nice houses. Unfortunately, now we are fucked because by “helping” all those poor people they fucked us over. PEOPLE WHO MAKE $30,000 A YEAR SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BUY A $200,000 HOME!!! :bloated:. Yup…the dems REALLY helped out the poor…and now we’re all going to pay for it.

How about 30 failed years of monetary policy amplified by greenspan?

JEG FOR PRESIDENT!!!

This is what happens when people who don’t deserve a damn thing they have get whatever they want because we should “be nice” and politically correct. I say fuck that, if you didn’t earn it then you don’t get it. Period.

You know what else, why is it ok for me to lose all the money I’ve invested and saved because of some banks bullshit decision or some dumbasses bullshit decision? Why is that ok but we can’t allow them to fail? You made the decision so fuck you and fuck your bank.

Sorry but I’m pissed off at watching all of my money get pissed away.

It must be lonely up there, on your high horse. :P, open your mind once in a while, does a body good.
