roiresearch, this isn't "shorty", this is LIQUIDATION. Everyone is bailing ship - while they can. AIG serves as a good example. The feds are going to control AIG with an 80% equity stake. The feds will own a 79.9% stake of FRE. For their ROI they have liquidation rights and preferences. The fedral reserve will only print up money it can get a ROI on, the federal reserve is a for-profit venture that answers to shareholders too. Down again today. It will continue that way until there is no bid.
