Can’t post Bloomberg on Free Republic anyways, but the article concludes by saying that they are considering a new Bretton Woods.

Here’s what needs to happen.

Everybody forgives everybody else’s current debt.

We start over tomorrow.

Okay! Next problem, please ...

Guess all those folks who droned on and on about stocks “buying and holding and staying in it for the long term” were right.

If the market closes, yur in it for the long term, like it or not!!

I usually don't fall into the anti Christ stuff, but with the way the global economy is going, and now this from Berlusconi...

If Obama is elected, look for nations to come together and beg Obama to take control of the world's markets.

It makes sense. Look at how all of Europe is absolutely insane about Obama. Add that to his radical ties here and the cult like following he has... this man is evil.

This is old news. European financial markets have basically shut down for the week (since Germany capitulated to protectionism last Sunday).

Where is it written that markets should only go up? There have been 10 bear markets over the past 100 years where the Dow dropped at least 35%. Stocks are by definition the riskiest investment because the holders are the owners. If things go well, stockholders keep all the profits. If things go poorly, stockholders are the last to get paid. On the whole, over time, stocks are a very good investment. However, over the shorter term and individually, stocks can perform very poorly.

Let the market work. The reason there is no credit available is because there is uncertainty, largely because the market doesn't know what governments are going to do next, and because of the fear that markets haven't reached a stable point yet. The only way to start working our way out of this situation is to let the market reach equilibrium, whether that's at 8000, 5000, or 2000. Anything else is just prolonging the pain, and postponing the day when recovery can begin.

It's been a LOOOOONG time since I have posted on Free Republic! Current events make it irrestible Seems to me the ONLY answer at this point for them (who ever them is) is to shut the markets down and regroup. I found it interesting on Fox News a few minutes ago they had the artist on who sculpted the Wall Street Bull and it hit me as they were rubbing all over it...OMGosh..its the golden calf!! Will the earthquake we see with Wall Street be of the magnitude that Moses saw! Alot of people may be swallowed up that is for sure. As for my husband and I, we got out the beginning of the year and invested in our farm and will take a write off on the taxes...at least we can look at it whether the property remains to be worth anything or not. WHO knows?!! These are historic times, prophetic times? Perilous Times. Only time will tell.
