Looking at the differences of 2008 and today I think all will agree that corporations are in a much stronger and sound financial position than they were. There is a LOT of cash on the books in corporations. This, in my humble opinion, will help them in the long run. I believe that you will see a lot of volatility in the markets with the ending of QE2 but in the long run the dollar stands to come out stronger and equities the big winner.

Well, the market is throwing a little tantrum to goad the lawmakers into increasing the debt limit... Another few hundred points down, they will all come around and submit themselves

look to yields - bbro is right - the corporate bond market is made up of super smart people who actually know what they are buying and selling

you want to be a buyer today not a seller

the time to sell was last week not today

today you want to load up

this is how you make money

you have 20 minutes and the panic is in take advantage of their pain
