Funny...I'm still getting flooded with credit offers
I also disagree with the bailout. I think if we pour 700 billion into the market, the market will still be wishy-washy. I think we'll do just fine with buyouts of the failing banks.
On an interesting note...When I click on a thread title, it automatically takes me to the last page I was reading, rather than just going to the first page like the old version did.
I used to wheel a lot. . .

I heard a guy on the news this evening who said he just sold his WaMu stock for 77 cents per share today. And he originally paid $25/share.
That's one SMART MAN! It's now 6 cents a share! He has a 10-fold return over people who sold today!
I dont' know. At 77 I would have held on to it and hoped for a come back. Not much more to lose at that point and at least there's a chance it will come back. After you lose that much, you might as well stay on for the ride.

There's a setting somewhere in the admin panels to set that. I recall the options were first post, last post, or last unread post. I guess the default was last unread post.

Any idea where it is? I always end up at the first post. I'll have to do some digging.

I'm pretty sure its a global setting in the forum admin panels. I'll try to find it and let you guys know what it's set to. We may have to make a poll to see what to change it to.

You can only say that to people that thought it was a good idea. 😀
OK so look, here's how it impacts me directly:
1.: As stated earlier, this nation's econmy relies largely on short term debt.
1.1: Short term debt examples: small personal loans, small business loans, credit cards, car loans etc.
2.: The same banks that are in trouble for long term debt (home loans) also fund the nations' short term debt loans.
3.: If the banks that fund credit cards go under, my vendors will no longer be able to take me to lunch, George starves and dies!
The bailout is not a "fix". It's a transfusion to keep the blood (cashflow) circulating while the government stops the bleeding. They can't begin the healing process unless they first stop the bleeding.
