Good combo. I do think a "package" will be done over the weekend. Is $700 Billion or not, I don't know. I am guessing FED will get at least $350 Billion to start.

I added AAPL right now, $128.11.
JPM is a good long term play. They got Bear Sterns and Washington Mutual cheap!

If the package goes through, MA might pop $30-40 right away. We will see at least 2 days rally since most investors are sitting on the sideline right now!

What do you do when you get depressed for no money?

you spend more on borrowed money :D

Thanks :D S'ong as there is a package, the market should go up.

Fingers crossed. Well at least I can collect dividend next week on JPM and MA. RIMM dropping is actually good news for AAPL, as long as Jobs stay alive AAPL is good for 120ish

Also have some GG and AUY calls that's OoM right now, but I plan on exercising them in 2 weeks if I don't lose too much on them (if, knock on wood).

Bought in at $179.00 just now. I hope that was a good entry point


EDIT: (15minutes later) Just came back up from picking up lunch and it's at 182.50 :D

Good buy. I could have bought more, but I can't risk that much money on betting the package will come through. There's always a chance that evil Bush and his people screw things up. But the chance is pretty good.
Package done over the weekend = huge rally on Monday and Tuesday.

Ok I have to stop you right there

We all know Bush is NOT EVIL, otherwise he would have control over HIS OWN PARTY MEMBER. He's just the puppet that no body cares about anymore :D:D

Fingers crossed the package go through, 3% gain can be lost in a minute if it doesnt.

Anyone thinking about GOOG with their new phone? I think right now their shares are at a 52 week low

Steep deadly hill this morning!

it's like skating

"Oh shit"

:D:D

I took my loss on MA at $175...
The market is so _____________ (fill in the blank)!

I picked up some AAPL this morning. Can't believe AAPL is getting kill big time.

^yeah well a MS analyst cut the profit forecast because of price cut.

That's about as good as LEH analyst saying FNM had enough capital and didnt need bailing out, a week before the Gov't bailout

:D:D

does anyone see the flaw in this bailout, if the bail out fails, the gov't wants insurance for the tax payers so they wont foot the bill but arent the insurance companies going down? i dont see any logic in that

If the bailout fails,

insurance companies will be the least of their worries.

plus the whole insurance thing is "in case this happens", so the probability of it failing is not as significant.

holy shit 570+ drops

This is gonna hurt

The bail out didn't go through, that's why!

fuck. it looks like this vote is not going through.

its 207 vs 226

yays to nays

they need 218 yays to pass this bailout.

the yays are currently bullying the nays to get some of them to switch over to yays.

Good thing I picked defensive stocks

Now my grandson is going to like my "investments" lol lol

I know they have rejected the package, but why there is another voting happening shown on CNBC right now? I don't get it..

I am at work, so i have no idea on what's going on. Been flooded with SMS over the past 30 minutes

^
Doesnt matter, now it is a great time to buy.

AAPL at 100si? Fuck I am on.
MA at 170, take me in
V at 60-, HELLO

I know I am crazy, but heck who cares

But when MA was 180 that was a good buy too. Did you see it hit 152! HELLO!

Doesn't matter to me. It's a great company being drag down the mug from public fear imo. It took a beating from the AMEX lawsuit last Q but otherwise a very profitable company

I am regretting going out instead of watching the market today. Shoulda get in earlier.

dont be a hero buddy
the consumer is dead... wait let me capitalize that, DEAD

that means AAPL RIMM GOOG and the QQQQ's are screwed
ipods crackberries and advertisement?

this is fucked...even more fucked is that it comes on the last day of sept, the monthly statements are going to be so damn ugly

^
Yeah I kinda know, it's their prices are so TEMPTING

Just Cut MA @ 169.97, AAPL @ 106.23

Fuck it.

WTF got over me lol

well i dont give a shit, made my money for today.

wow....bombed bailout..speechless
