:grr:

[Warpy]

1. It's still a slide

Freefall would be down 1000 or more.

The bad news is still happening a day at a time.

It's got a long way to go, folks.

It's just numbers. You still own what you always did. Only the numbers have changed.

[spanone]

7. yes, your rolls royce has turned into an edsel

[Warpy]

59. My Lear jet has turned into a hang glider, you mean.

That's how much I've lost in numbers.

Sic transit glorious money.

[LSparkle]

2. After the bailout, and the rate cut ... what else is left to do?

I wasn't in favor of the "rescue bill" anyway, but when it
passed, I hoped at least we'd avoid something like this.
Now we're suffering through a crash anyway ... ???

[stray cat]

4. Cry?

14. Surely they'll get it up for the election. Big business wants tax cuts.

Of course if it's bad, Obama won't raise taxes on the wall street failures. (not that they'll have any income to tax anyway.)

[Occam Bandage]

16. Big business is just as panicked as we are.

John McCain killed the stock market!!

[MadrasT]

30. He did WHAT!!!!11!!!!?

:grr:

[spinbaby]

33. Why!?!?

Why, why can't they keep their mouths shut?

[TexasObserver]

35. Where are those bailout advocates who were BUYING at 10,200 because there were great deals?!

Predictions are that GM won't survive until 2009 (quelle surprise).

I wonder how fast the fatcats are running offshore right behind the dollars and jobs they already carted off.

[TexasObserver]

57. I'm just thankful it's happening on Bush's watch.

The little bastard was desperately trying to limp out of office with the markets on the verge of collaps.

[Chisox08]
