from a historical standpoint it’s hard to object to the government’s mass bailouts since similar debt-producing methods were put into action to save the U.S. from the Depression; maybe we’ve been headed for socialism this entire time…

This is a Joke. Every Bail-Out cost everyone of us. Now AIG get’s the same thing? If you like or Hate Rush He is insured by AIG and just got a $400 Million Dollars. Now we all get to pay Rush’s insurance and we didn’t get to vote on any of this. AIG, Mac & Mae should have all fell to the ground. That’s how Capitalisum works. Every time the Fed’s setp in we are 1 step closer to sochalisum and there’s noting any of us can do about it, but Vote this crooks out of office.

Actually the reason why I thought the market would go lower is because FNM and FRE were going to be “nationalized” in a way by the govt. Since these two were one of the largest and most prominent forces in the US financial markets, it makes sense that if the largest co’s are not immuned to stock price deflation, then no financial company price is immuned to further losses. That being said co’s like LEH, WM opened higher on monday, but this looked a lot like the crowd/public amateurs buying in the first 30 mins.

Of course this comment is concerned more by trading and not investing, which I am mostly known for. It will be interesting to see if LEH will find a buyer this weekend. If they do monday morning could be a nice surprise for today’s LEH bulls..

I expected the market to go up on Monday, because a major market uncertainty was removed. However, I do agree with you that a single day does not provide the “big picture”. I just wanted to get a peek at the sentiment of institutional investors. The “big boys” are paid to make quick decisions regarding major market events. Their big moves are fairly easy to spot. The key to remember is that their initial reactions are not necessarily right, especially the human instincts to react irrationally to financial events.

I think that if you want to see the big picture you can’t look into a single day in the markets. Most of the winners have lost ground and are trading below friday’s close. I was actually surprised that we rallied on Monday. I expected a drop.. But since we rallied, I think this might have marked a short term top.. And the market direction could be lower in the intermediate term..

What is your take on yesterday’s market reaction to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac government takeovers?

it wasn’t much of a rally to give any confidence.
