And if that isn't enough, nobody knows what the fuck is happening at AIG and Washington Mutual is under tremendous pressure.
I am buying canned food and hiding in TRho's attic.
Oh, and I only missed like 3 of you. Hi. I'm new.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO HOPE FOR A QUIET FUCKING WEEKEND - I HATE THE MARKET |

Lehman looks like it's going to liquidate and supposedly Bank of America is buying Merrill?

What happened to you and the rest of your posts? And my friends at WaMu are already preparing their resumes. They thought for sure they were going to get the
ax last Friday.

I have been hearing about WaMu non-stop all weekend, my friends mother works for them. I'll scream if my friend mentions it again. I feel bad for her mom,
but dammit I'm tired of hearing about it.

Here's a tip...buy WAG shares. Walgreen Co. put in a last minute, $3Billion dollar bid to buy Long's Drugs on Friday night, a bid that was $3.50 more
per share than rival CVS/Caremark Inc. This is sure to send WAG (currently a steal at just over $36/share) through the roof.
Or maybe not, but hey my profit sharing would certainly like it. |

Actually, if LEH and MER get taken out this weekend, that has to be net good long-term for market stability. Devil is in the details.
And it doesn't solve the underlying problem - housing market isn't going north anytime soon and banks are under pressure. Oh well. |

I missed you, too.
The AIG move caught me off guard, too. I noticed that one of the companies they are shedding is a reinsurance company. They are such a freaking huge company that it never occurred to me that they could possibly be in real trouble. |

Just make sure you send someone your GPS coordinates so when the winter hits TRho's we can send help.

How would the loss of MER and LEH help to stabilize. Use language an 8th grade child could understand, please.
I understand the mechanics of the AIG issue so you can skip that. I was just kind of surprised at the size of the sell off. |

If WaMu goes belly-up, what happens to my mortgage? Do I get a free house?

AIG is in trouble because of YEARS of questionable practices across the board. They are WAY under-reserved in other markets as well.
And that's my dull insurance post for the day. If Loki's the Yak, who's the Walrus? |
