James Saft: There's no good time for a pandemic.

yes there is. actually right now is the perfect time for a pandemic. the world is about 2 billion people over populated.

Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch have evacuated their downtown buildings.

Did they evacuate or get kicked out? Oh wait, no.... Only Obama is allowed to do that. I forgot.

Biotech stocks with swine-flu upside: NVAX +123% premarket. BCRX +73%. GSK +3%. AZN +3%.

Yeah!! I own like 1000 calls on each of these stocks! cant wait for the market to open...

U.S. government declares a public health emergency over the swine flu outbreak. (WSJ)

Buy SSMXF!! Huge play here...in the money calls...Hey, if were all gonna die, mind as well die rich! RIGHT?

Insiders are unloading shares at the fastest rate since 2007. "They should know more than outsiders would, so you could take it as a signal that there is something wrong if they’re selling."

Anybody buying and holding long term right now, is a sucker. The lows are not yet in the for this bear market. We will eventually drop below 4000 on the DOW. We can't have a successful long term stock market propped up by govt. lies about the true value of all the losses... ALSO: the bank stress tests are a joke. total joke. Of course the govt is going to pass all of the stress tests because that will further the artifical prop up of bank stocks....... Unfortunatly, this will all end very, very badly for wall street. I do however, believe main street will be saved in some form.

Nouriel Roubini laughs off the "V" seekers. "My analysis of the data suggests that the global economic contraction is still in full swing with a very severe, deep and protracted U-shaped recession."

Actually, no I believe we will eventually have an "L"shape...I dont see unemployment peaking until end of 2010.

Taking a look at today's jobless claims, James Picerno sees the possibility of a peak - but can't rule out another surge of bad news.

We wont peak in unemployment until atleast the end of this year. That will all depend on the condition of the credit markets. no credit=no businesses=no jobs. its very simple. We will see 10% nationally by end of summer, maybe fall, depending on the condition of the credit markets and the effectivness of the obama stimulus... I just can't see how a trillion dollar stimulus will do much, when your facing 100 trillion dollars of losses...

The whispers continue: Is Tim Geithner nothing more than Henry Paulson lite?

Dude, none of them can be trusted, especially the bank CEOs

Breaking news on WSJ.com: GM's (GM) CFO says the company won't make its June 1 debt payment of $1 billion.

can you spell C-H-A-P-T-E-R 1-1????

Perhaps unsurprisingly, student loan defaults are skyrocketing as rising tuition costs clash with a weak job market.

You can all blow me.

Well, I was thinking Id have a job, like millions of other students in the same exact position.

The problem here is that because of govt intervening into the private sector, all of the private funding that was being made available to performing arts and professional musicions is all disappearing. The govt is destroying this economy every single day, and some of them don't even know it.

this is just the beginning.

Well, you can tell that to the millions of students who are just about to default becuase none of them can find jobs........

I never said that I want the govt. to contribute anything. i want them to stop taking..

its not a community college. Its a private music conservatory in NYC... It doesnt really matter anyway, because as long as contributions stop coming in, the arts are done.
