The $700B+ Bailout of Wall St.

Congress passed it and Bush signed it like 5 secs later.

Wall Street suffered through another traumatic session Monday, with the Dow Jones industrials plunging as much as 800 points and setting a new record for a one-day point drop as investors despaired that the credit crisis would take a heavy toll around the world. The Dow also fell below 10,000 for the first time since 2004, and all the major indexes fell about 5 percent.

I thought this "bailout" was supposed to make Wall Street happy?  So, is it time to cut open the mattress and by some cheap stocks?

Make sure you do some research and don't just buy any old stock that is cheap.  WaMu is going for well under $1 a share, but given their debt, I don't see any shareholder making any $$ off them.

If you do some research, you'll find some stuff.  The best financial advice I ever heard was "Stick to what you know." 

I'm waiting a little longer, then jumping in.

Well this is working well!  So well that we had to have a world wide rate cut today and that worked well ??  Note to any new politicians in Washington: if W says lets do it DON"T!  Fucking morons.
