banks lend 30x what they actually have in their vaults to people to buy houses even if they don’t have a damn job. housing market finally starts to correct itself and home values slump. everyone tries to get out at the same time and make it even worse. now people start defaulting on their mortgages. banks don’t have enough to cover the loans. huge firms fail, everyone freaks out and tries to sell off their stocks, which drives the market down.

or at least that’s all the more I want to thype on this damn cell phone keyboard… 😉

eh I would be really careful what you put your cash into. ford and chevy might be good buys with them being as low as they are. might want to wait until their credit rating b.s. is over though. Or if you listened to that crazy fucker ron paul and bought a bunch of gold a year ago you’d be in REAL good shape right now.

naw. will get pretty shaky for the next 6months. if we would do like dr. paul says and return to sound fiscal policy, get rid of the fed; move back to a gold standard, and do a SERIOUS downsizing of the govt and its budget. also gas prices are going to tank as well which will be huge for Joe Six-Pack.

dow jones down 361 now. 25 min to opening bell… :hsugh:
