government approves $700 billion bailout plan

Stupid. Quick fix. A 3/4 trillion dollar stopgap. Robbing the children of the future 2 finance the mismanagement of today. Plus, I don't think its a good idea. We're gonna have 2 foot the bill at some point...we just delayin the inevitable. I just hope we're not gonna be taken over by some foreign power

Mars sounds good, but that is really fawking far away!

Looks like this bailout is working great! What an awsome idea this was.

Let me guess, to get it to really work, congress has to nationalize more

besides just the mortgage industry.

The Dow is below 10k this morning...my 401k is down over 21% for the year. Good times!

I hate arguing the BryanCain, but some 401(k)s, including mine allows participants to short sell.

Mine may allow that, but I'm too **** dumb to know how. Didn't the gov put some type of hold on short sells?

You cannot short financials, currently. The govt regualtion was on ***** short sells.

Selling something that doesn't exist, then buying back something that doesn't exist at a lower price.

HA.

In all seriousness, that B.Cain fellow is correct about the overinflation of stock prices due to 401(k) and the "accessibility" of common people to invest in the stock market. His fire and brimstone collapse may not be accurate, but it is probable enough where even I keep some of my money in guns, just in case shit goes down.....

I have a 12ga. I hope it doesn't come to that. I considered buying some land with a pond or something, but then thought if it came down to lawlessness, I am just going to take it.
