How much is that Rolex in the window? 17.8 million dollars. Sir, you are insane!
Strange days.
"At the time that Newman gave the watch to James Cox, the watch was selling for about $200," Boutros noted. At today's selling price of $17.8 million, that's quite a return on investment."

Dear Great Benevolent Comrade Leader,
Little did I realize that all your talk about Free Enterprise was just a ploy to lead our country down a glorious path towards a People's Democratic Republic. Your brilliant achievement has astounded us all. Long live the revolution!
P.S. You could give Hugo lessons on increasing the size and control of government.
I'm crying too kid!
"I have a hard time understanding why we are giving $700 billion to the Secretary of the Treasury, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, who along with other financial institutions, actually got us into this problem. Now, maybe I'm the only person in America who thinks that's a little bit weird, but that is what I think." - Bernie Sanders.

To stampede or not to stampede, that is the question.
Not all the "folks" or "friends" agree with Senor El Presidente or the experts on CNBC and the major networks that we need to rush the horses off the ranch without knowing the terrain. I know that I'm not the smartest cowpoke on the spread, but it's been my experience that panic always leads to bad decisions. You never know, the direction toward the South 40 might have a cliff or two.
Below are those with differing views on how to handle the current "CRISIS."

Here is a short video from his appearance on Squawk Box this morning.
[note: Squawk Box is the best business show on television IMHO]
Here is a longer version of Mr. Pickens explaining his plan to have the US move away from oil to other forms of energy. If he were running for President I would vote for him.

“Dear Jim: Should I be worried about Bear Stearns in terms of liquidity and get my money out of there? --Peter Cramer says: “No!
Let's hear some sage advice to a viewer.
