BAD!!!
 
This is getting real bad real fast. Just as we predicted.
Freddie Mac is down another 32% TODAY
Lehman Bros. is down another 17% TODAY
Everyone needs to raise capital but where is it going to come from?
Large investors?
Sovereign funds?
China?
U.A.E.?
Who in their right mind would want to attempt to catch a falling knife?
Think this one through in this formula illustration:
5 trillion dollars of mortgages X average leverage X derivative = DISASTER.

Paulson and Bernanke are testifying on Capitol Hill as I write this. If they
do not get Congress to act the country is in a mess. I only hope they convince Congress
to make the tax cuts permanent and send a signal that they will stop deficit
spending. If not the worst is yet to come.
The only source for the amount of capital these markets require is massive
amounts of inflation. The presses need to get running or the pain that is coming
will make round one that started in March with the Bears Stearn collapse look mild.
The DOW started off up 75 points today and is now down. Oil is up. Gold is up and
the two year note is down to 2.39%. The Plunge protection team is powerless to stop the bleeding.

The dollar resumed it's fall and if the presses run like I expect you will see a dollar at
1.75 to the Euro.

It is time to get out of the storm.
