JethroTull Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I've been selling the market short, so I've been making a fortune. Just bought a new Vette with the proceeds. Quote
docron Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Diversify and sell short, like he said. Quote

Audra Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 they can give me 85 billion dollars and i'd probably die...it would be a nice death, though Quote
docron Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I would buy 75 million dollars worth of pennies, then destroy them for being such useless currency. Then, I would live confortably with the other 10 million knowing I'll never have to piss with another penny as long as I live. Quote

eternal light Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=home I admit I'm kind of confused, I know this hurts all of their investments? But how bad is this exactly? Speaking of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Stockton, California starkly illustrates what is wrong with the American economy. Sept. 12 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. foreclosure filings rose to a record in August as falling home prices made it harder to sell or refinance homes to pay off the mortgage, RealtyTrac Inc. said. Owners of 303,879 properties, or one in 416 U.S. households, got a default notice, were warned of a pending auction or foreclosed on last month. That was the most since reporting began in January 2005. Filings increased 27 percent from a year earlier, about half the annual pace of previous months, because of high default totals in August 2007, the Irvine, California- based seller of foreclosure data said in a statement today. *************************************** California had eight of the 10 metropolitan areas with the highest foreclosure rates, led by Stockton at one in 50 households. http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNew...143005120080204 Quote
