I was originally going to use this title to post about the tornado hitting the basketball game in downtown atlanta, but it looks like the real march madness will be on the stock market monday. Bear stearns was bought out by chase bank for a few dollars a share, just a percent or two of it's value last year, and this was done over the weekend, along with the federal perverts bank lowering the interest rate for banks on a sunday, this is a clear indication of outright panic, and stock futures are already tumbling in asia. The dollar is at new lows, commodities are at new highs in overnight trading,storm clouds are gathering, it looks like here in new york a heavy storm is set to strike! Btw, the collapse of bear stearns was anounced just before catastrophe bush spoke in new york on friday, i knew that guy would bring a disaster with him!

Anyway, it will not be pretty in the morning, ambulances are getting ready! The question is, will someone still be able to recussitate the market, perhaps the arabs or the chinese, or is this the end?
