Shoes dropping like a centapede wearing flipflops. I'm outta this. 100% G closing today. I don't think F bonds are a good investment if investors in ouch in the Fannie and dollar menu Freddiemacs are pushed back in line for paybacks.:nuts:

Ah, is *that* why F is going up??

...Fannie [FNM 1.13 -5.91 (-83.95%) ] and Freddie [FRE 1.07 -4.03 (-79.02%) ] stocks nosedived when trading opened on Monday, as investors bet the U.S. government's takeover of the mortgage finance firms would wipe out shareholders but fully guarantee their bonds.....

I did not like this from the start the great white hype. I still think it will be an up day for all the funds. I want in tomorrow but wonder if there is weakness will it all sell off.

Up is down ....and down is up so just when you think you have this figured out it's wrong
 
Yes, you're right, this does smell like toasted hype. I'll just stay in G. I can't see the foreign investors (China and Russia primarily stopped buying Freddie/Fannies) buying up more bonds. I think they got a little too grilled already.
 
Everybody's looking for a place to invest. Everyone wants material to build their nest. Flit here, flit there. Squawk and take flight at the slightest noise. Follow a flock that has no idea where to go for the winter. Where oh where is the bird seed? :(

Had a similar thought earlier. Wondered - hum if this is GLOBAL and essentially everything is tanking where do we turn now. To me the answer is easy - CAPITAL PRESERVATION - it's every bit as important as the years of gains. :)
 
*crack* YIPE! Flap flap flap flap. :blink: I see falling birdeens! Holding onto the G branch. Look for 1130 C and 525 S for P & F analysis. Darkness before the dawn? Time to...buy soon? Maybe?
 
I want my, I want my IFT….
Look at them yoyos, on the FRTIB,
They control the number of my IFTs
It ain’t workin’ but that’s the way they do it
They got my money (stuck in/out of) Equities {pick your lyric}

We’ve got to plan for our retirement
We got to move some money around…

[I'm glad I have one left, we'll see what happens tommorow morning]
 
Ok, I'm not Dire Straits, but sometimes I feel like I'm in them! :toung: I hope this is at least a little funny

Now it ain’t workin’ but that’s the way they do it
Lemme tell you, you can play dumb
Maybe lose a bundle trying to be careful
Maybe lose a bundle cause you’re locked in gear

We’ve got to play in a nasty sandbox
We’ve got to move some money around
We’ve got to plan for our long future
We’ve got to retire before our century

I shoulda learned to loan out money
I shoulda learned to pass those ARMS
Lookitthat! A short seller
Running by b*** naked with no money down
And him up there? Is it Paulson?
Or Berneke droning on the economy?
It ain’t workin’, but that’s the way they do it.
I’ve got my money (stuck in/out of) Equities
 
Toes in
3% C
7% S (less financials, P&F reversal)
5% F (cause it's cheep)
85% G (cause it's my retirement)
Bird Seed! Bird Seed? :nuts:
 
From what I can tell from the news reports
And the Survey says:
Neither Presidential candidate likes this $700B no strings attached package!

Both say that the other McBama supports it, and blames it on the other McBama! :suspicious:
Because who wants this around their necks when they are President?
And Bush says, you have to pass this, so long, and thanks for all the fish!
 
We awoke and the world was the same, and yet not the same
Goldman Sachs is Dead, Long Live Goldman Sachs!
JP Morgan is Dead, Long Live JP Morgan!
The Stock market was all the news.
Every commentator babbling in confusion.
Those who wrote the loans, now our bane, long gone.
Their tracks lost in a pile of endless tranches.
Thy left a pile of dreams, now nightmares
Sure to bring a future, that never was

And the world looks in wonder
Those who would control their people, they say,
"Look, Look, they are the ones, they trapped our money.
All of our woes, were brought by them!"
Those who know better, avert their faces,
Then peek between their fingers.
Wondering how this could ever happen.
Wishing this was all a dream
:(
 
The roaches are running, I put some money in. Friday was the wrong day to do it, I was expecting a down day. Mistake! But to fly away is to be double the fool. I think the lights are coming on, and that's good. Problem is, there is a lot of vermin running out of the corners, and if there are too many of them I could get overrun.

Lady reads Silverbird's poetry, rises out of her chair, and begins clapping her hands and shouting, "Brava! Brava!"
