As fcuked up it is, it's a great time to be a trader. I'm just trying to look out for myself and my family at this point.

The banks are still all backed by mortgages more than anything else. Those reporters are idiots of the highest magnitude.

Peter Schiff was/is right strikes again.

He has been saying this for a long, long time.

The banksters are sitting on those toxic assets, trying to tell the rest of us to put on rose colored glasses, so they can have more money to play with. Investors are still nervous and holding back because of low confidence levels in the honesty of our system. Rightly so.

2/2 let's say we have a 8 ppl company. last year in January 4 had to lose their jobs, because the crisis was deep :}. in the summer another 2 left the company, because we gave money to banks, but we still had no credit. :}

this month, the company had to let go to 1 more. That means 4x fewer ppl lost their job, compared to a year ago:THE ECONOMY IS GROWING! The no dont lie!! :}}}}}}

½ i got one from CNN too:

they report today that this month we lost 10x fewer jobs than last January. In conclusion, the economy is getting better and we should see some good news in the near future!

Ray of Sunshine tells the truth

[magichandpuppet]

The "pig-man" on the left is such a shill. He needs pundits to be more positive so his corporate masters can continue off-loading their overpriced equities on suckers still adding to their positions with regular deposits into their 401K mutual funds.

Pig-man: "You're just a ray of sunshine!"

Response: "Shut up you useless whore."

The next stage of the "financial crisis" will emerge immediately after a military/terrorism/biological event which will kill confidence in the fragile recovery which is expected for the next 6 months to one year. A reduction in confidence will kill lending, have its negative effects on stocks, commodities and US bonds will increase.

An apparent external event out of the control of the gov gives the gov greater credibility in order to continue the crisis. "Never waste a good crisis".

[terpis]

Johnson is clearly harshing the anchor pigfucker's mellow.

C'mon, Johnson...the People Who Matter are going to be just fine.

[bnfox]

terpis - great way with words my friend. Comment of the day at my crib.

The catstrophy is that they are sitti ng on billions of worthless securities. If they fess up they are bankrupt. Put the pig men in Levenworth.

[daniel987878]

Its all made up though. The banks dont truly disclose their holdings and even if they do the big banks control the markets. Therefore the assets they hold could be revalued higher at a whim.

This crisis has been manufactured in order to facilitate an agenda of greater governmental and corporate control over society and also world government through nacent arrangements like the G20 or SDR's.
