I oficially just spewed cashews all over the keyboard.

Y'all are funnier than anything on TV...I'm going to see Cheech and Chong (dating myself) tomorrow night and am curious to see what their doobie-infused take on the financial climate and politics will be.

Are we seeing more fun next week (Where the HELL did this one GO?) or has the dead-rat bouncin' rally calmed the nerves and brains of the fodder for a while?

The "China 'Thang" is going to stress me out over the weekend...they're playing in the big-boy sandbox with them.

G20 is heating up to be a real horror show as well

Well..spewin' brew woulda worked better, but, cashews go with beer as does pretzels so...

March 13 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration sought to ease Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s concern about the security of his country’s investments in U.S. government debt, reiterating pledges to cut the budget deficit in half in four years.

“There’s no safer investment in the world than in the United States,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today.

In HALF mind you...No safer investment...

I think these people really need to stop talking.

That part they'd probley be ok with...more natural resources to build bridges with...2 fer 1!!!



more "bang" fer the "owed" bucks!!!

Pleasant news for the weekend ride:

45% of world's wealth wiped out:

www.reuters.com...

Tiny Tim (as Hx3 calls him) speaks again:

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner plans to unfreeze credit markets through a new program that will combine public and private capital in a fund that would buy bank toxic assets of up to $1 trillion.

"In all likelihood, that will have the private sector buy troubled assets to clean the banks out in terms of providing leverage ... so that we can get more money back into the banking system," Schwarzman said.

Now I'll REALLY be losing sleep! Public and Private capitol defined please?

Citi has gotten 45 freakin' billion dollars to date so let's all have a moment of silence in respect to the fact that they DON'T need any more!:

www.reuters.com...

"Citi and other banks are waiting for the U.S. government to announce a plan to absorb soured assets banks are holding on their balance sheet."

Ummmmm....I do believe a lot of us are waiting for this little plan as well?

reply to post by irishchic
Problem is...

The private money for this "program"...is loaned to them from the Gov...in other words OUR money is loaned, without our consent, to buy up yet more "assets"...

out right theft!!!
