Replies osmoticdespair Posted at 5:20 am on Oct. 14, 2008 I was against the bailout until some guy on the news said "the government will make money off this deal! They're not losing money! They're making money at the expense of the shareholders". My sympathy for the shareholders, frankly, not high. However I am still against the stupid idea of "keeping lending at 2007 levels" - it was stupid then and will be stupid now. Good old fashioned thrift is what we need. Still if the government does make profit on this deal, good on them, lets hope they spend it on hospitals and pensions and the like and not propping up the American Military Industry by purchasing all their products. allsmiles Posted at 3:15 am on Oct. 14, 2008 Up again. Damn, here I was thinking Gordon was just shit with money. Guess he's just a fan of spending. Not that I have room to complain atm, ofc, he's done a lot this past week or two. freakyredhead Posted at 4:06 pm on Oct. 13, 2008 confused osmoticdespair Posted at 10:33 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Heh so my prediction failed. Although my second one was right. allsmiles Posted at 10:32 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Well you're pretty much right :P ^11.34% atm osmoticdespair Posted at 5:46 am on Oct. 13, 2008 I reckon it will be up by 1 or 2% but maybe there will be an upward surge toward the end of the day. allsmiles Posted at 5:44 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Up. ~6% like the rest of the world. osmoticdespair Posted at 5:42 am on Oct. 13, 2008 If this works this image should change as the day goes on.
