I just typed a whole fkking rant in here and it tels me that I did not put in a sub-section whatchamafkit and gives me teh option to go back to previous page.
Having hit "back" before and had my entire post obliterated, I used the link provided.
And had everything deleted. Nice feature!
Anyway, back to the original rant. After having my 401K trickle down this entire year, and hering about CEO's getting higher and higher bonuses and severence packages for their outstanding performance, monday decided to add another 5% loss to my already depressing 20% for the year.
The whole thnig has set me back several years! Crappy 401K choices and world indices reacting to thnigs that should have no real direct bearing on us f'king up our speculative investing strategies and private financing not subject to the same, albeit outdated, FDIC regulations.
alot of people should be shot or at the very least locked up for life because of what is happening now, no way should there be any problems, there is no rational explanation for the current climate.
Surely Scotland's vast Tennents extra and deep-fried pizza market isn't struggling. How the fcuk is the credit crunch effecting you? I didn't think Lidle did credit or took cards.

Agreed. Just so long as all the people whose houses have trebled in value in the last 15 years give all that value back. That seems fair.
What? They want to keep the money? Well, then you just have to lump it when the bubble bursts.
The general public are fcuking ignorant, greedy imbeciles. When will people learn that the only way to get something for nothing is to steal it?

As for the housing market, that was bad enough. Luckily our place rode that wave and crested it. It is still worth substantially more than what we paid for it, primarily because it was not in a "potentially gentrified area with great growth potential".
But our system needs some sort of check/balance/buffer/damper system.
We get things like AIG having to be bailed out, at 11% APR (you think that interest will actually go to anything in our government? Nah!) because a bunch of chickenhawks jumped off the boat when they rated their bonds as "junk".
As if some orginization calling something some name that it already is should make a stock fall 70% in 13 hours. It is still the same stuff, no deal fell through! Same company, same assets, same profit/income. But NOOOOO, they name it "junk" and all hell breaks loose.
Now, do I think NOTHING should have happened? No, but between them, Lehmen, Merryl, Fannie and Freddie and all this other poorly planned and even more poorly regulated crap keeps floating to the surface as it rots free from the "cement shoes" that got it beneath the waves in the first place, between all of them it is a sign that, if left to their own devices, these guys would eat their own legs in order to have enough in their stomachs to finish the race.

Bollocks, for that you need to invest time and skilled labour. Don't invest enough of those and all you'll be getting is subsidised accommodation.

Sorry that Wall Street went down the tubes, mate. Hard luck, hey.
Greedy c*nts got what they deserve though and the market should not be saved because of them.
