At the Bipartisan meeting today, they are saying the plan's will be locked down on Tuesday... President Bush is sending them what needs to be worked out over the weekend.

When the truth was dropped on the room, it was as if the oxygen was sucked out...

no one could breath or speak for over 10 seconds...

a Trillion Dollar Bail out plan...

3 Million homes in foreclosure stages right now, and the adjustable rates are about to change tanking twice as many more...

The Government is about to take on all those foreclosures to take them off of the banks books so they have credit to lend again...

Most likely the little people will be facing higher unemployment rates, the dollar will (should) drop in value, loans will become much harder to qualify for, alot of assets (stuff) will be sold/auctioned to foriegn investers.

It sounds like some of these bad deals are so conviluted, they realy are not sure what the actual value is. It's almost like a total crap shoot for the american taxpayers.

Sobering moment

Somber. Sobering. Warnings of an economic "meltdown."

That's how participants described an emergency meeting held Thursday night between leaders of Congress and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.

The meeting was followed by an announcement from Paulson that he was preparing a far-reaching program - on a scale seen rarely in American history - to intervene in the shaky financial markets.

Paulson gave few details, although the plan's broad outline is for the federal government to buy hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of mortgage assets held by banks, Wall Street firms and other financial institutions. Details of the rescue plan were sent to members of Congress late Friday, according to reports.

Thanks a lot Rocky for pointing that all out
I am considering to buy some more coins before things are gettng even worse.
I am just hoping they do not find criminal ways to surpress the spot price even more. Do you have any intuition on that?
I am subsribed to Mahendra's newsletter (financial astrology), he warned a few days ago that gold prices might drop as much as 50%. Hard to believe though but scary
