AIG is looking for $20,000,000,000 to try to stay afloat, Merril Lynch sold itself to BoA, Lehman files for bankruptcy for losses of ~$613,000,000,000.

Dow down 504 points.
S&P down 59 points. The biggest point drop since 9/11. Over $600 billion loss in value in financial stocks today, a dollar loss like that last happened when George HW Bush was still in office.

Subprime mortgage crisis, 13 months and counting.

A fellow named "reinhardt" on Google Finance Groups predicted the Sept. 15th market crash down to the day two months ago. He also said that this is the beginning of the slide downwards to the total devaluation of the Dollar. He definitely has some interesting views on how the Catholic church and Vatican is involved.

He's banned from Google Groups now: http://finance.google.com/groups/profile?e...r2RdD2gxz5WDITw



Interesting stuff

Too bad Reinhardt is dead now.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
