Default Re: Dow jones -500 / -4.60% level 9865.00

Hi ctophil,

DOW closed down 878.27 ! 8.51%

Citigroup went down 12.98%

Bank of America CP got hammered, down 26.23%

JP MORGAN CHASE CO down 10.64%

By the way, the Citi story with Wells Fargo smells. Citi offered $2 a share. Wells offered $6 dolars a share - a huge difference for what was described as a failed bank. Then Citi wants to fight over the attempted sale. Tere must be more than meets the eye here. Right?

Best regards,

Steve

Citi was buying it thinking the Government was just going to take the sunk part of the company... Right after that is when they decided to let banks take bad debt off the books without setting money aside to cover it.

That's when Wells stepped in and offered the higher price without government assistance.

Germany takes hot seat as Europe falls into the abyss


We face extreme danger. Unless there is immediate intervention on every front by all the major powers acting in concert, we risk a disintegration of global finance within days. Nobody will be spared, unless they own gold bars.

We are fast approaching the point of no return. The only way out of this calamitous descent is “shock and awe” on a global scale, and even that may not be enough.

I don't know what "extreme danger" you speak of, because we are in the 5th night of the Galactic cycle. Read some literature concerning the Mayan prophecy. Relax. We are on a schedule.

Default Midnight tonight, Short Selling begins...

Quote:
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - At midnight on Wednesday, U.S. regulators will restore investors' rights to make bearish bets on financial stocks but few expect it to put an end to wild swings in the market.

For nearly three weeks, investors who bet on falling stock prices have been prohibited from short selling more than 950 companies under an experiment by securities regulators to restore equilibrium to a fragile financial system.
They had the option to extend the ban until the 17th, but decided not to wait...

Just a guess here...(is guessing even needed at this point with all the facts? Do we have all the facts? Could they pull out another skeleton from the closet?) 1st Cit followed by BoA, then Wells. Gman and J and P will attempt a transition.

I am by no means an "expert", just a financial reader trying to connect some dots.
