Any predictions for the day?
I'm wondering if folks are going to try and pre-position themselves before the projected rate cut?
Rate cut is priced in. People know that rate cuts don't matter any more. A cut of .50% leaves them with .50%.
The auto-bailout and GMAC might be what is driving this market. If GMAC gets TARP money, look out above.

I for one know you weren't, Greg. The thing is,
Have YOU considered why he feels that way?
http://http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1208/16566.html
From the book I've been reading about ME culture, MEasterners value communication of emotions over communication of facts and logic. He was expressing emotions that many ME people feel about our impacts on Iraqi civilians. How would you feel if you saw invading army killing civilians in, say, Canada, much less the U.S.? (people related to you by culture if not by nationality). Would logic rule the day for you? think about it.
No problem at all. I think it was posted a few other places as well.

Birchtree for Pres in 2012 ! (He has enough cash on hand to fund his own campaign.)

That would have been an appropriate response if they'd thought there was a real threat, I agree. You think they didn't do head to heels (and then some) total body search on those guys before they let them anywhere near our Pres? Hmm. Maybe that's why Secret Service didn't react more instantly?

I was wondering about that. Where was the secret service after the first shoe? Nobody willing to take a shoe for the President?

Believe me, I'm sure that everyone was frisked to determine that there were no guns, grenades, explosives, etc. Who would expect that someone who was there to report on the press conference would throw a shoe?I was wondering about that.

I agree, I think the SS should have been a little closer, but if the pres can bob and weave like that....you give him a little space.

Right, and Birch is a perma-bear.
That video was just pointing out her ability to tell the truth. It wasn't showing people throwing stuff at her for just showing to talk to the press.

It was my attempt at sarcasm.
Lets end this here Greg. I don't give a **** whether you're a Republican or Democrat. All politicians are scum to me. The video I posted was funny to me period.
Peace.

According to a colleague, Zaidi's actions could just have been down to his personality. "He was very boastful, arrogant and always showing off," said Zanko Ahmed, a Kurdish journalist who attended a training course with him in Lebanon. "He tried to raise topics to show that nobody is as smart as he is."

No, I'm still in G. I think I mentioned last week that I was working that day and just didn't have the time to really make a decision. My currency charts are starting to turn bullish. It's still too early to tell, so it might end up being a head fake.
At the moment, I'm thinking about getting in for Thursday or Friday. I'm really just waiting for a big down day.\
Btw, What do you drive?

Katie Couric's Notebook: Mr. Bush In Baghdad
It's the video everyone's talking about and checking out on YouTube. At a surprise press conference in Baghdad yesterday, an Iraqi reporter hurled his shoes at President Bush.
The president was not injured, but the incident has launched a thousand quips – from cheeky headlines to wisecracks on cable news. There are times when it's OK to poke a little fun at awkward situations. This is not one of them.
The anger this journalist felt was very real. In the Arab world, the act of throwing a shoe could be perceived as the worst possible insult. When the statue of Saddam Hussein was pulled down in Baghdad five years ago, demonstrators pounded on it with their shoes.
While the act sent a clear message that this war has worn out its welcome in Iraq, President Bush deserves more respect than he received – not just from the Iraqi journalist, but from the Americans who think it's amusing to assault any president, even if you disagree with him.

WTF???? This is really absurd. Lets see if I understand this.
AIG sells MBS to Fed(apparently nobody else will by them), AIG then makes a payment on it's loan to the Fed, with money that it got from the Fed, for the sale of garbage MBS to the Fed.
Hmmmm....something with this deal doesn't sit right with me.
