With the bailout sure to happen soon, we should see some financials stocks do well afterward. I also expect a boost in homebuilder stocks. Post the stocks you think will be hot!

RDN
ABK
AGO
CNB
NCC
JPM
MS
GS

I couldn't resist WB under $10.
Had a busy day so had to buy early at $9.99.
This stock can go over $20 from $10 no problem.
Don't you think a bailout will send it flying?

Bought NCC in the aftermarket along with more RDN

I need to quit selling RDN, we might not get many more chances to buy in the $4 range.
I have CNB at $8.69.
I like your other choices, but no cash left to buy them.
I did buy Citi (C) yesterday under $20, and planning to try sell for a quick pop.

Ahhhh.....C is a good one, I think it will get a boost from the bailout.

I'm holding a bomb load of RDN, my avg is only $2....no way I'm selling until I can rake in the green.

Is that an ETF? I forgot about listing ETF's! I need to do some digging for ETF's like PowerShares. The only one I've used all year is the ultra short...hehehehehe.

WHEW....glad this day is almost over! There's so many deals out there I'm getting lost in them. LOL I'm surprized it's been so quiet around here today. The only reason I've not been posting is there's so much to follow.

I made green on NCC today, it's been super volatile and made good swings, I owned it for less than 2 hours. LOL

So - that was crazy.

I too, did not post, as I was watching the ticker too much to type.

So, on WB, I hear they are now a Not-Too-Shabby financial planner/investor advisor....so....am I right in thinking they could be bought out?
Am I right in thinking their PPS should go up, buyout or not?

On ABK, if the bailout doesn't happen in the next 2-3 days, should we be getting out to avoid the downswing after a potential downgrade by Moody's?
Maybe sell and move the proceeds to RDN, which seems to weather all types of storms?

As they use to say in the old Batman series....tune in next week to find out!

Moody's now want's to downgrade NCC.

What the hell is wrong with Moody's?

The entire GLOBAL market is down.

THE ENTIRE GLOBAL MARKET IS DOWN.

So Moody's is still playing by rules written in a good market.
You CANNOT apply the same rules to this market.
Downgrading NCC will do more harm to NCC, which will lead to another review, downgrade, harm, review, downgrade, harm, etc.......

Am I crazy? Isn't this a joke?

Same thing that drove ABK down, when it should have been busting through $10.

These are uncharted waters. Moody's, listen up, you have no rulebook for this scenario. Shut your pie hole until the dust settles. You are only speeding up the demise of these companies the Government is trying to save. We should have banned downgrades the same day shorting was banned.

Ok, I feel better.....
