      Peak Insanity: SEC Plans to Temporarily Ban Short-Selling
      I'm frozen. My short ETF's got taken out at the neck yesterday and I can only imagine what happens to them today, yet I can't bring myself to drink this coolaid and start buying. Everyone, and I mean everyone on CNBC thinks the market goes higher today.....can it really be that easy?

      High Stakes Poker Update: Lehman Poised To Fold; Side Bet on Merrill
      What astonishes me is how the market is holding up. Arguably the biggest cluster F' in our financial system in a century and each day the market finds more creative ways to describe the emperors clothing.

      BioScrip Investors Would Welcome a Strategic Buyer
      Amit, I'm surprised you haven't shorted (or puts) this thing since you write about it so often in negative terms?

      The Option Arm Triplets: Dead Banks Walking
      www.ushousingmeltdown..../

      That site shows my city has about 45% more to go to get inline with median incomes. Good thing, I'm buying next year. It's easy to get blinders on the housing tradegy when you live in S. Cal, but things aren't that bad elsewhere.

      My buddy outside of Seattle recently got a 6% fixed 30 year mortgage on a $300k house with 3% down and terrible credit. The credit bubble is still alive and kicking.

      Will do, hopefully today's selloff continues and we finally can put to bed a lot of these trash financials.

      This run up has caught me by surprise, but its just a chance to buy more puts. Keep up the good work Greg.

      Lehman: Delevering Risk High, and Growing
      The bottom will probably come when we get a big BK.....WM, LEH, or the like.

      Do you feel a little like you may be selling a bottom Mark?

      ...and of course he is joking about the subprime.

      WaMu and More: Uninsured Depositors Begging for Trouble
      Bman, you lack sanity. You confuse your opinion with facts. IndyMac failed because it was run poorly, not for any other reason. If WaMu fails, it will have nothing what so ever to do with Mish. I'm sorry you are getting crushed looking for a bounce in a sector that has yet to hit bottom, but the "facts" are......there will be many more BKs before this washout is done, regardless of what is written here.

      WaMu and More: Uninsured Depositors Begging for Trouble
      Are you kidding me Bob? Are you just a visitor to this planet, cause you don't seem to understand how things work? Banks don't go under because a blogger says they are in trouble. They go under because they ran a bad business and actually are in trouble.

      Let's do an experiment. Let's all start saying that JPM, or BAC or WFC is going out of business and call for everyone to go get their money or they will lose it.

      As I've already said, not everyone thinks that what Senator Schumer did with IndyMac was wrong. A lot of us think he was a canary in the coal mine and wish more people in the know would alert us to poorly run companies that represent a risk to our capital. Again, read carefully, IndyMac was going out of business and Schumer gave us a heads up.....he did not cause them to go out of business.

      The only people crying here are those who made a bet on this stock or others like it, and lost.

      Crocs: It's the Product, Not the Economy
      Lol, Gumby you could not look more like an ignorant fool. Amit, great job and looking back at your previous articles, you were on this early. I had puts for the ride today, but you've given me renewed desire to buy them back and ride this thing into the ground, where it deserves to be.
