[bankedout]

Very nice win dg!

I'm going to try UNG long for next week. It appears as though it is short term oversold.

[blyghme]

Nice pick DG The Bear Market continue - Read an interesting piece - in a banking crisis - asset priced fall by an average of 55% - Housing prices fall by 35% - GDP falls an average of 9% - Unemployment spikes by 7% above the start. So I guess we are in for it for a while is history is predictive. I'll short GS

I'll go with FAS Long-
Why not think this market should find the reasons to rally with a new president-elect taking office. On the other side of the coin, it sounds as though the next 750 billion dollars won't just be handed over to the failing banks and financials......
I'll be taking FAS long, only because I think there's a pause in the downtrend, and an opportunity for a horserace bounce-SD
