I don't think that will be the bottom.. the Big three in Detroit are starting to sing that "bailout" tune.. and the parade will keep on coming.. which leaves "Main Street" with that grip tightening even further.. this spin isn't even close to stopping yet..

I don't even look at my stock portfolio... it has hit that point of no return.. I am young enough to let it bounce back... but I have this feeling I will start to buy some bargains soon.. I think I may start to jump around 7700 to 7500.

:lol:

I should have stuck by my first prediction of 6k as the bottom.

Jumped 300 this morning because Citibank turned a profit. Whooptie-do, but for those of you investing long term, I'd buy index stocks if I were you. I got heavily in at 7k and I think that's a great long term investment. Wish I had more money. I would have bought at 6.5k too.

For young people, best thing that can happen is for stocks to plummet.

I think the day traders create the crazy days. One good day on Wall Street doesn't change an economy. Unemployment is still 8% and climbing and sectors such as the auto industry need to die and start over. The government will probably step in considering the current administration needs the UAW to support it; either way, bankruptcy or bail out, it's going to cost us and hit the economy. I love the hypocrisy of the Al Gore crowd saving the SUV.

Predictions are for 2009 to be a bad year. I have family losing their jobs so it's just not good. And I cringe at the solutions Washington is coming up with.

Yeah. It won't be a fun year for this country.

The market will be down at least 100 points probably Monday. People will take their earnings and run. There's still a long way to go before the recession ends.

Keep in mind though, the market is often an early indicator of when the recession ends. A market rise (not this dead cat jump, but a real one) often precludes the end of a recession.

I'm not too crazy about what the current administration is doing. Throwing money at a problem isn't always the best solution, and we're going to eventually have to pay that money back.

But America always finds ways of fixing things. People who buy now and hold will be happy 10 years from now. We're still leading the world by far in nanotechnology and biotech, 2 things that will be huge in the near future.

I would be more optimistic if I trusted the President and the majority of the legislative branch, but I don't. I am beginning to think that if you want to make positive change where you live, then government is the last job I would expect to accomplish that. All government seems to do every year is take more freedom away and spend more money than the class prior.

Haha! This week more reasons not to trust congress with this AIG crap. I hate these politicians and their fake outrage. If you don't want AIG to give out bonuses put that in your damn legislation, but no, they'd rather put in all this over-stylized loop-holed filled crap and force it through.

Agreed.

These people are idiots. They gave them a blank check of $700 billion of OUR money, then complained when AIG gave themselves bonuses.

Congress needs to go.

Even better buddy. It sounds now like the go ahead came from the administration through Timothy Geithner to put that language in the bill through Dodd. This leads me to ask whether or not this is the treasury department playing games with a company like AIG or if it is almost as if they are covering for Dodd since it seems like Geithner may face increasing pressure to step down from this job as questions about his abilities mount.

I think the whole skipping out on around 40,000 dollars in taxes should have been a red flag, but no, we needed him NOW. I can see why too. He is doing a terrific job.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
