Dow 3700, $3,500 Gold, $300 Oil - Enough Already

"By the way, did my title get you to click on this article? "

Yes, your title did get me to click on the article. And I enjoyed it a lot. The amount of silliness that is being thrown around in all media is simple amazing. Just like sex, doom and gloom sells.

Great post. The sooner we get rid of the dead banks, the sooner the economy will get back on track. This lack of decisive action will cost dearly to the economy at large.
