America is just a few days away from a possible day of reckoning. I again call attention to this day, August 25, when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issues its 2nd Quarter report for 2009 on the state of health of American banks.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Shares of bailed-out mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac soared Monday, as investors try to piggyback on a rally in shares of government-backed financial companies.

Fannie (FNM, Fortune 500) shares rose nearly 50% in afternoon trading, while Freddie (FRE, Fortune 500) jumped almost 30%.

The mortgage giants' Monday rally was sparked in large part by a jump in the shares of companies like AIG (AIG, Fortune 500) and Citigroup (C, Fortune 500), said Paul Miller, analyst at FBR Capital Markets and Co.

The utter decimation in the aftermath of today's .56 point selloff has some people calling for Geithner's head. Reports of secret meetings at the CNBC offices at 30 Rock with Blackwater bigwigs could not be confirmed. Dennis Knele was seen weeping uncontrollably and Larry Kudlow was reportedly on a ledge near the 50th floor.

[MrHanky]

I still say we are topping,gonna take some time though.

I have a few guesses for the next 6 months:




1.SPX to 800 or less

2.Bond yields hit NEW LOWS.

3.Oil to 25 or less

4.Muni's RALLY another 20%+ from here


My only position is Muni's....Lots of em.

Bear markets now consist of closing off the highs.....the devil channel was livid today that "investors" wouldn't step up and take on risk.....

Even this POS is ramping....These would look spiffy at the night club...




The insatiable desire to chase trash is breathtaking....

I came within a hairs breath of working for the Prince families company many years ago. Fine company to work for if sort of paternalistic. Was privately held and they took it public to cash out in the late 90's. Perfect timing. Same as another West Michigan company, Steelcase. Like Prince they paid well, mostly through bonuses. Obviously bonuses died the instant they were public corporations. I knew some people working for both and the moment I heard they were going public told them to get ready for a huge wage haircut. None of them believed me. Go figure.

That guy Eric with the haircut I had when I was 5, cowlick and all, is a real piece of work.

gappin' down almost another full pernt in the night session

gov't needs to step in here quickly to prevent blood in the streets

they'll probably force cramdowns on the margin man

underwater stockowners will git their loan principal reduced, tax-free, down to the current markit value of their common

it's the right thing to do, they're innocent victims

this way everybody wins
