1. S&P 500 down to 1,120. Gold barely over $80/bbl
(but anyone seeing the price of gas drop quickly? Even a tenth as quickly as it goes up if oil goes up $1-2/bbl?)

6. The PTB will be stockpiling it in reserves at this price...
Edited on Mon Aug-08-11 03:29 PM by BeHereNow
And then selling it to us later for 4 times what they
bought it for.
And the tax payers will be forced to continue to fuel the military transportation costs
at the highest price the brokers can dream up.

What a world.

10. on margin, that could be as low as
$1,600. If the price moves a single buck, you'd make/lose $500.

24. I am. Coopers would be busy.
Those barrels don't make themselves, yanno.

And I'd only have put up 10%.

23. Which I think was their plan all along
IT's all Obama's fault. They're hoping that will carry them to victory in 2012.

They don't give a shit about America. They just care about creating a winning meme for the GOP.

11. And I repeat, time for an INVESTIGATION into "S & P"!
...names...faces...backgrounds...political contributions that they've made...

Under oath and in front of cameras.

You WILL notice that the LimpMedia reveals no names...only, "S & P" over and over and over.

12. So, I read the article on yahoo... proceded to the comments, and was STUNNED by the ignorance.
Conservatives and Tea party posters are FLOODING the pages with such vile and stupid comments that it actually made me a little nauseated.

This is what we're trying to fight, people, the IGNORANCE that is perpetuated by FOX and CNN.

13. They're usually pretty incredible
The ignoramuses who post there are beyond belief. You can see why Bush was elected twice after reading some of the posts there.

22. Thank you for including CNN
too many think that FOX is the biggest enemy. They're not, they're too transparent. CNN are sly right wing scum.

14. BLOODY MONDAY
Monday, bloody Monday
Monday, bloody Monday
Monday, bloody Monday
Monday, bloody Monday

And now my bastard car won't start...
I've a good mind to tear the f**king thing apart...
Today there's something deeply wrong
That's why I'm singing such a stupid pointless song...

Monday, bloody Monday
Monday, bloody Monday

What's wrong... this time I don't know what's wrong...
What's wrong.... what's wrong......

15. Dow falls 635 points in 6th-worst loss
Source: MSN

The sell-off is prompted by S&P's downgrade of U.S. debt and worries about Europe's financial system. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are downgraded as well. Gold finishes above $1,700; oil drops below $84. Bank of America falls 20%.

16. BoA drops 20%?
Wow. That's quite a number. Twenty percent in one day? I'm so glad that 1] I've never put a penny in the stock market and 2] I don't have a bank account with BoA.

Edited on Mon Aug-08-11 04:45 PM by Skip_In_Boulder
@ $6.66 which I thought was an appropriate price for them.
