  1. hey this thread will probably help out people go throught the various fed bailout scenerios, and what will happen to the markets.

    Ok there is one camp thinking a deal will happen, but its going tobe pieacemeal, 150-250 now, the rest later. theres consensus that market participants will be dissappointed.

    No deal, jim cramer thinks the dow goes down 2000 points instantly.

    Congress extends its session into next week. market goes down huge on friday.

    They pass the 700 billion on friday, markets go up huge on friday.

    What are the various scenerios going aroiund out there.
     
  2. the two scenarios I like big time are :

    Price movement, and

    Volatility.

    ALL IN, ALL THE TIME and CARVE EVERY TURN.

    It is as they say it is opportunity that is:

    UNBELIEVABLE and

    ASTONISHING.
     
  3. I would agree. A simple play would be to straddle an index ETF. Take advantage of the IV. Sell the greenback, too.
