Just got the annuity report from my wife's annuity, we put 200 bucks in and lost 160 bucks. I'm seriously thinking of starting a run by pulling my money out of every one of my stock ventures, annuities, and educational accounts for our grandkids. Every one of them has lost in the neighborhood of 40% of value in the last year. The continued losses caused by the "stimulus" plan will drop them even further.

Sarah Palin owns a tanning bed purchased with her own money and the press and investigators are all over it like white on rice.
HOWEVER, someone deliberately tanks the market by pulling a HALF A TRILLION dollars out of the money markets IN ONE HOUR.. And thereby seal obama's coronation... And the media and feds are all over it. You can't turn on the tv or radio or read a newspaper without hearing about this... oh wait.. nevermind

In 1994, Tom Clancy wrote "Debt of Honor" and described a scenario very similar to this.
It is about a wealthy Japanese busniessman named Razio Yamata. He intends to wage war on the U.S., in part, by causing the collapse of the U.S. economy. He does it by buying controling interest in a family of mutual funds and immediately dumping all his Citicorp stock. That triggers computer trading and an across the board drop in stocks.
BTW, "Debt of Honor" is the same book where Clancy described a decapitation of nearly the entire judicial, legislative, and executive branches of the federal government by crashing a jetliner into the U.S. Capitol just before a joint session of Congress. -

Of course it's going to get worse. The sames idzits that dragged us here are phising the problem. And why is that? Not a decent Conservative with two legs and a back bone was out there to run against His Highness. Palin was too little too late and wearing the McCain millstone around her neck was certain death.

Hate to burst the conspiracy bubble here, but the "secret attack" on the money markets was neither, at least as far as the evidence indicates.
From September 18: http://tinyurl.com/daq3ck
From the NY Post on September 21: http://tinyurl.com/4jwwga
Note, both articles point out not only the scale of the withdrawals but the logical reason for them. If one is looking for the orchestrators of the attack, one need look no further than King Henry Paulson and Helicopter Ben Bernanke who had the brilliant idea to let Lehman go under after rescuing other firms. Sure glad we then put those guys in charge of the bailout. -

Rodger, This might not be as suspicious as it looks after all. Read comment #106 here by Leo Linbeck, a guy who seems to know his stuff about finance. He thinks it was probably a run on the commercial paper market by ordinary companies/investors.
Comment #2 in that same thread has this link to the original quote by Rep. Kanjorski on C-Span.
