Yes, my apologies for the confusion there. My initial reply should have been addressed to the post by LowLevelMason.

Its well known that the money from the bail out hasn't even been used yet


Can you please point a link that shows, or explains that the bail out money hasn't been used yet.

How do you know this? Unless you are working on the inside..ie: government...this information should not be available.

Last week was senseless panic selling fueled by people like those on ATS declaring that the end was nigh. Nothing in the bail out package allowed a way to manipulate stocks, as we clearly saw last week.


How do you know this? Please list your sources for your claims.

To all of the ATS doom people: Your still fear mongering without reason.


Um I think as last week showed, those who were not fear mongering just for a long time pointing out facts, and where this was going were proved right.

I say those who have propagated, and created the Illusory Bubble of wealth based on FIAT money supply, have been creating the causal effect of the very fear many people face now about their Pension, retirement age and savings, income after taxes in the future to.

Those warning of this, with often well sourced and factual information, have not created the current problems, and fear.

Some of us have just spoken the truth before mainstream.

Typical, even FOX does better than that my friend, at least they use some NLP not just the classic game of debating you are trying, to get a Falsehood accepted as truth, and to shift blame, ridicule and belittle those with the facts and truth.

In Greece thousands of years ago Plato, and more notably Socrates used this tactic, commented on it and such like.

Many people on ATS are aware of this tactic Mr Mason, and if they were not they know now

It's what Palin is doing now against Obama with "Terrorist" links and such like, her style of presenting it. (Though I do not Support Obama, same chicken different feather's! just again noting facts.)

But your wrong. Last week was total senseless panic selling fueled by the fear mongers, and now people regained some of their rationality. Its not the end of the world people, and its time those who desperately want it to be come back to reality. Your going to have to find something else to scare people about.


I think actually you will find that it was the amount of leverage, a Major war with no taxes in the US, and a cyclic, repeated Housing Bubble.The Personal Debt explosion too. Credit Card debt has exploded, people paying interest on money that never existed anyway and such like.

Not by some people warning of this happening

Again my friend, it is not us here who have caused this Fear you mention much, and are therefore obviously experiencing now yourself. We have wanted to have change to equity and fairness through the truth. The opposite of fear.

Not at all. The plan certainly will provide a fix to stop the entire system completely collapsing over the next couple of weeks. However this is the issue, next Quarter, Targets, Flip It mentality that brought us here.

We might not now see the only outcome of the actions taken by the Europeans and the US in providing the liquidity in the markets now, the blood the bankers have sucked out like vampires, for normal economic functioning.

However by spring of next year now at latest and unfortunately probably before the indications of the next storm my friend.

Not of your above, as anyone who has any understanding of the Currency Market;s and macro economics, knows deep down that either we are in line next for

A run on the Dollar

Or More Probably

A Hyper-Inflationary Depression.

At this point, the Fed will find itself between Scylla and Charybdis—between deflation and hyperinflation—it will be forced fast either to take its “classical medicine” by deflating, whereby it raises interest rates, thus inducing a major economic depression, a collapse in real estate, and an implosion in bond, stock, and derivative markets, with a total financial collapse, or alternatively, to take the Weimar way out by inflating, whereby it pegs the long-bond yield, raises the Helicopters and drowns the financial system in liquidity, bailing out numerous LTCMs and hyperinflating the economy.

Wake up Mr Mason.

Hope these facts allay your nerves somewhat, really there is some great Docu's for you to see at ATS HERE

Explains a lot. Be angry at those who brought us to this, not at US or fearful.

Kind Regards,

This thread proves it - on ATS, most people just want to believe that the economy is going down and economic Armageddon is near. People act absolutely hysterical over 4 days of stocks selling off, and then we have 2 days where we end net +800 or so, and the response is "its not a big deal!"

No, it isn't. And neither was last week. But if your going to encourage hysteria and panic over 4 days, its obvious what your agenda is when you try to brush off 2 days - or even 1 day.

The logic behind the pro-economic doom crowd is beyond hilarious. You cry "manipulation" when the stock market goes up, and then act like its all genuine selling when the stock market drops. No, it doesn't work like that. If real manipulation was occurring, last week would have never happened.


How else do you explain a massive upswing in a ridiculously short period of time which defies all logic and market sense?


Easily: its quite logical and has lots of market sense, because last week for 4 days there was nothing but market downswings in a short period of time which defied all logic and market sense. The smart money saw a good buy and took it, while the panic sellers lose - as the always do.

Also, you can cry about volume and it doesn't matter either, because it means no one was selling - obviously, because all the panic sellers had nothing else to sell after last week. If the end was really here and things were that bad, a bonk market holiday would not have stopped another down swing.

But lets ignore reality and just keep following the mass media - maybe if we wish for a crash we'll get one!

There are a multitude of variables that have resulted in this dynamic day on Wall Street.

First, and foremost, the stocks that caused this giant leap were a lucky few. (Although most stocks did rise that means very little. Rising tide raises all boats.) However, the rise was predominately in the utilities, Asian ag, and a few other choice areas.

Now, add to this the falling price of oil and gold as well as the reality that the 700 billion does not exist yet and the ingredients for economic collapse are still there.

I ask all the cockeyed optimists please elaborate on where, just where, is the money going to come from? It is coming from the fed, they are going to print it, and the dollar is not going to be worth a peso. So, where will the emerging markets with all their vaunted growth seek shelter...the Euro?

The real troubled times are still ahead. The US produces squat. Russia is Saudi Arabia with snow and when oil takes a huge dump, and it most likely will, then what? What new bubble can we create?

In short, we can't. I am not a doom and gloomer. However, I am a realist and the reality is a few wealthy elites cannot saddle the entire world with debt and think that it is not going to have a negative impact.

When you see cannabalism rise in the civilized parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Europe and America plunged into crime ridden chaos, and the US government bankrupt, remember, all the folks on Wall Street are doin' just swell! "THANKS FOR THE CASH INFUSION!"

Just my humble op-onion!

The plan has not be implemented. It is common knowledge that really shouldnt need a source. It has been talked about on every news outlet and forum on the internet. However, this pretty much explains that they are just looking at getting the team together and then will find out the next steps they need to take and what to spend the money on.
The administration's interim bailout package chief, Neel Kashkari, said early Monday the government is moving quickly to implement the rescue program, including consulting with private law firms on how to buy stakes in banks to boost their cash reserves.....Kashkari, the assistant Treasury secretary who is interim head of the program, said officials were developing the guidelines that will govern the purchase of bad assets and had consulted with six specialist law firms on how the government will take partial ownership of banks....Kashkari, however, provided few details about how the program will actually buy bad assets and partial ownership in banks. He focused mainly on the nuts and bolts of getting the program running.
