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.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (2h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (2h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (2h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (3h) : Who? What?

beast (12h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (16h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
