Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

For the conspiracy theorists out there, I think you will want to forward this video to your friends. For those who ridicule conspiracy theorists you may want to have a look at this. Here's a hint, it has to do with Martial Law and the Bailout package.

Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

Yet another interesting link from WSJ Oct 2, featuring a transcript of a conf call with the now semi-Bullish Barry Ritholtz and Super Bear Roubini

Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

anarchist - what is scary is that Nouriel Roubini is not some out there alarmist wacko - he is a credible economic commentator with a track record of calling things accruately - for him to offer his newsletter for free is an indication of just how serious things have become. What's also of concern is when you hear guys like Dennis Gartman taking delivery of gold - and even saying that he hopes he loses money on it e.g. the alternative is worse.

Here's the Roubini link again - it is a must read

Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

Here's a link to an article by Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics at the Stern School of Business at NYU - To view the full article you will need to register (free). This is a must read in my opinion.

The Die Is Cast

I confess I watch CNBC - there are a few decent commentators still there such as Art Cashin. This is his commentary just before 9am this morning (Fri Oct 3. 08) -- and is worth watching as he describes the three scenarios for today's Bail Out vote -

I wonder how much toxic paper his companies are stuck with?

Perspectives for a Sunday: Market and Sectors

Apart from any efforts from the PPT or residual short covering I am hesitant to even guess what the markets might look like by mid week. I expect that there will be some significant follow through in Asia a few hours from now but beyond that ....

If You Think the Dow Did Well Today, You're Wrong

gabeborenstein states in his comment above:

"...Friday's performance is ... is a measure of the investors approval ..."

"There is a strong posibility that this short covering will turn into a broad based rally"

These two statements seem at odds with one another; am I missing something?

If You Think the Dow Did Well Today, You're Wrong

"This type of article is best left to the Bespoke Investment Group that syndicates on Seeking Alpha as well."

______________________...

I visited the Bespoke link you referenced and found their chart of global markets Sept 18-19*. For some reason the Bespoke chart excludes the S&P TSX (+8.7%) as well as US indicies. In addition it does not indicate the specific index they are measuring just the country of origin. Perhaps the complete anaylsis is on their subscription site.

If You Think the Dow Did Well Today, You're Wrong

For what it's worth here is a selective snapshot of Dow closing values from 1987-1991. The volatility in the weeks following the Oct 19 crash was significant, it took almost four years for the '87 high to be surpassed.

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009

I am aware that SA will re-publish an author’s work with a new title but it would seem that much of what you have published on SA has appeared elsewhere at an earlier time, perhaps even this article. While that does not take away from the quality of the analysis or conclusions, it strikes me as somewhat disingenuous to not disclose prior publication given the political overtones of your contributions.

America's Fiscal Crisis: Tough Decisions Needed Now

The above article seemed very familiar, sure enough it was posted by you in another forum several months ago with a different title. I know SA re-publishes but it would be nice to see a disclosure. (they also should have stuck with your original title )
