I just don't get it. Did I not just read that seemingly healthy banks are going under. The crooks are in charge!!!!!! What else can we think? Notice how they drag their feet on all the things that should have been addressed already, financial reform, consumer protection, healthcare, etc. just like the Mafia is in charge and they don't want it to be so obvious to the rest of the world so they pretend to straighten things out.

Not with my money, other than the tax dollars I pay in I'm not investing in stocks and bonds ever again. It's certificates of deposit and savings bonds from here on out. No down side.

There should be NO BONUSES given out until ALL bailout money have been repaid with interest.
This is just flippin stupid.

Like blind lemmings guided only by their own greed, they ran the country right off a cliff.

Now, they are running away again, raping and pillaging our bank accounts and retirement savings. Yet again, the surge in stocks is based on absolutely nothing of value. The stock market is Las Vegas on a grand scale with all of the bets tilted strongly in favor of the house. Since the market and the real economy are so unhinged there is nothing that can explain stock prices except for rank betting by addicted gamblers.

They bet the house and lost ours (but got to keep their own) now they are betting everything else that is not nailed down. And we keep letting them run the casino.

Why oh why do we not see this as a nation? The next crisis is bound to come, the emperor is naked and we refuse to see. The next housing reset and the reset of commercial paper is still to happen and there is nothing to cushion it.

The market is plummeting today and it isn't even October yet.

Where is the change, Obama? Where is the REFORM?

Job loss equates to home loss No jobs, no recovery. Why so many people out of work even with the stimulus spending? Why are more jobs still being shipped overseas? There is no such thing as a jobless recovery; that is n3ocon jargon.

meanwhile, the stock market is surging and everyone is too busy to counting their money to show any initiative.

Why aren't we talking about raising taxes on the banks?

Hello liberals....always talking about taxing the top 1%. Here are a bunch of companies robbing us blind with the money we gave them.....why can't we raise taxes on the Banks?

It's about time those hard-working folks on Wall Street got some recognition.

Thank our lucky stars that the economy is coming back. Mr. Financier: Please hire me. I am unemployed with no where else to turn.

Is this "real" money (cash & the like), or just more "pretend" money (profits on paper, with nothing to back up the figures)?

[GrandMaSassy]

I don't give a flying f$$$k about the bankers. They have done nothing for the middle class. I am beginning to get very jaundiced about our financial system.

Many people think the crisis is over and are reentering into the stock market like lemmings, but the final shoe may be yet to drop. I would not be surprised if there is another shock to the financial system in the coming months involving one or more of the following companies; Bank Of America, Jp Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, General Electric, or Lehman.

More toxic assets I suppose. Bad loans and defaults like 2008. Then a retest of March lows? maybe
