Wow just listening to the hardball interview with senator Dudd. Apparently yesterday bernanke and paulson gave a speech to the senators behind closed doors describing the biggest financial meltdown the world has ever seen within hours /days if they don't act right away on bailing out the banks from the toxic assets. There is gonna be movies made about the past couple of days. :eek:
It's going to make Bush look good. We all may get screwed over the longterm, but for the quick ideas and quick reaction Bush has to get some credit for this.
I really don't think that chimp still has any idea on what the hell is just going on . This was all Paulson / Bernanke's work.. and to be honest I think the situation is much much worse than what even us as traders know. Bernanke looks like his aged 50 years in the past year.
no problem - they can just issue bonds backed by the future revenue of the movie. wait...what? PS a movie was already made about this-- The Producers
Heard Dudd with Wolf Bltzer, same thing. something tells me that there's something else going beyond crazy derivatives, bad mortgages and the normal short crowd. I think we just weathered a financial terrorist attack. There's been talk about massive naked shorting coming out of Dubai.
Wait until you get a taste of Obama and the 45% capital gains tax. In Obama you are talking about a man that reports $0 in equities owned, no cap gains, no cap losses, no dividends, nothing. Eery.
Do you accuse them of shorting the hell out of their firm? I did until I started hearing about the Dubai angle.
