We just need the dust to settle, drop down to around 8100 or so, and then we can start moving up from here.

Right?

We just don't know how much shaking out needs to be done, and there are still cascade effects to be felt. A layoff for one business means a loss of customers for many other businesses, which triggers more layoffs and the cycle continues until we start growing again.

That would really suck. Or should I say WILL SUCK. You think BO will back off of Cap Gains Tax increases?

nope. This isn't really about saving the indexes any more. It's currently about saving the banks and it's very close to being about continuing the government's ability to function.

I'll take it! The longer this lasts the more time I have to get some money together to take advantage of the situation.

And then the bottom will become the norm. L-shaped recession, learn it, love it.

He's going to increase the capital gains tax, estimate how much money it should make and include that in the budget. Then when it doesn't come in because Wall Street isn't gaining, we'll be screwed.
