I speculate on mini gold. Either way, Congress is in a bind. IF Congress fails to rescue, Wall St crashes. If congress does rescue, how much will they approve ? 700 B, 500 B, or 150 B? Who knows at this point.
My initial capital is 10,000 usd.
IMO, any move whether 700B or 150B is USD -ve.
150B and buy all the bail out plan will be USD -ve in short term. But probably will be good for USA in long term. It shows the US gov is buying the debt on those bankcrupt bank @ the dirty cheap price. From the investment point of view in long term. It is good but the market will lose its confidence due to il-liquid thus Dow jones crash or USD -ve.
700B is not a good price to buy those bail out. You dont buy things above market value to bail out. It is pure stupidity. Bankers take risk over leverage themselves and now they are in trouble and expect the tax payer to absorb the cost and buy their worthless asset @ billions of dollars? It is ridiculous. Members @ the Capitol hill like Ron Paul did point the root cause of the problem. The housing is correcting to the "actual" price base on the market value. But the FED & treasury is trying to fix the price @ above market value and expecting the market to buy those. if that 700B didnt work out, I am very sure the USA will end itself as world economy power, then we will be looking for china burst after that.
Bernanke & Paulson must be study economics from the backyard. Are they really dumb or what? When these people actually learn?
Again putting US treasury into deeper debt only means printing more USD. We all know printing more USD is very USD -ve.
As for EU there has been talks about putting pressure on ECB to cut rates. So the EU is a mix data right now. I have yet to see a large bank failure in europe. I looking to see one of this event happen either end of 2008 or 2009.
