S&P futures down 250 points. Gold nearly 1700. This will be fun.

That can't be right--that is about 20%.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Nikkei down about 1.5% and Sydney around 1.00% lower; not too significant ?

Yeah I think that was Dow. My bad.



Anyway, I have some calls on GLD which will certainly be deep in the money at the open tomorrow.  :)

They might be waiting for Europe's markets to open.

Or they took my advice and CALMED THE FUCK DOWN. I contacted the ambassadors.

The G7 guys came out of their meeting saying they were starting up the presses. I think that put the brakes on the dive.

At the mints?  Or suggesting some magic bullet that they want to unveil at a news conference? :huh:

No they're buying up bonds. Quantitative easing.

I think CNBC dropped some downers into Cramer's coffee this morning. He is not being entertaining.  :mad:

Rule 48!


That's when the NYSE floor traders all turn against the Jedi.

Rule 48!


That's when the NYSE floor traders all turn against the Jedi.

Other rules, as relayed by Frank Lopez:

Rule #1: Don't underestimate the other guy's greed (rarely forgotten on wall street, though perhaps by people who do business there).

Rule #2: Don't get high on your own supply (tragically forgotten by Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, who retained too many of the crappy securities they created).
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

If there is going to be a turn today, it will be after Europe closes.

Best investment: VIX   :P
