This is very exciting. Why can't the prices just update faster? I want to hoard up some financial etf shares, dagummit. drop drop DROP!

I'm also gonna get me some Tata Motors shares at some point. I mean, they are practically the only auto maker in India and their shares are nearly at all time lows.

 

[fabijo]

I'm slightly disappointed. Things aren't going as bad as I hoped.

 

[fabijo]

There's a party in my tummy!!

True. Well, I decided against getting some Tata. I may have prematurely bought some xlf, but it was still fun. Risk is exciting.

 

[fabijo]

Hey, with all these banks going bankrupt, should I take my chances on getting a large home equity loan and hope the bank goes under and just vanishes into thin air?

Free Money! :nuts:

Unless you are a member of the at risk class you won't have a chance.

Best Buy to acquire Napster for $121 million

The purchase price of $2.65 a share marked a nearly 100% premium over the Los Angeles-based digital music company's trading price, which has hovered around $1.30 in recent weeks. Napster has struggled to find a winning business model in the uncertain world of digital music, which Apple Inc. dominates with its iTunes store.

As Wall Street scrambles, TSP plans for upgrades and emergencies

...

The board also is crafting a continuity of operations plan to keep the TSP running in the event of a firm collapse, or the firing of an investment manager.

...

The churning on Wall Street may have provided some of the incentive for a request the board members made on Aug. 18, when they asked Long to prepare a memo on what the TSP's contingency plan would be if an emergency made it necessary to withdraw plan funds out of Barclays Global Investors and transfer them elsewhere.

...

"There would be some systems changes, but we would be able to manually do, for an indefinite period, what we do systematically today so there would be no impact to the participants," Long said. "What this says is we're planning for an unlikely event, but it's still prudent to plan."

Now, why is it the worst thing in the world for all these write-downs? It's the doom and gloom of the news. Nobody's screaming about all the write-ups they did before they had to write-down to more realistic numbers.
