Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

ebworthen,

you couldnt have said it any better. I also firmly believe this is all a big ball of Sh!t. Goldman and the govt are pulling the strings on this thing. They are trying to force positive feelings on people so that they will go out and buy crap...that may work for a few, but not for the 10% that dont have jobs. Doesnt work for the people like me who are skeptical of this whole charade. I have spoken to many small business owners and they all say about the same thing in that they feel this is just getting started and that they ripple effect is just starting to impact them in a major way. I feel sorry for you if you buy into all this...quit reading the biased articles and watching CNBC...that is precisely the vehicle for which they are trying to build consumer sentiment..it is a joke.

Great story. I wouldnt expect any theory to work when you have companies such as GM and C losing their balance on the edge of a cliff. I like most of those companies that you have listed there, but I still think that you have to be cautious with BAC and JP...They seem to be in ok shape, but I will be surprised if the financial sector has seen its worst days. They are relatively cheap looking forward, but you have to wonder will they be able to get back to where they were without as much leverage as before
