Well, stocks are rallying as it seems likely that there will be some sort of bailout. The bailout will solve liquidity problems, at least. It all depends on how you see the situation, I guess. Short term problem of liquidity - go for it. Long term problems of poor management, unchecked speculation (essentially gambling) etc. - let it go.

Pretty sure its been one of the worst couple of weeks, across all markets for some time.

^I wrote that on the day the NYSE did rally! Logically speaking, this injection of liquidity should increase investor confidence, or at least stem the drop.

Yes, I was trying to imagine that and was hoping he fell in a comedic manner on the treadmill and got flung backwards like you see on tv when someone slips. What an asshole...all these assholes should get tarred and feathered and chased out of town at the very least.
