if things are so good, then why this:

The U.S. is weighing two dramatic steps to repair ailing financial markets: guaranteeing billions of dollars in bank debt and temporarily insuring all U.S. bank deposits.

If the two moves come to fruition they would mark the government's most extensive intervention yet in the financial system, as officials ponder increasingly far-reaching measures to stem the sprawling crisis.

LOL. Good point. I really don't trust CNBC. While pitched as Conservative, they're no better than the rest of the "financial" media here in the US.

Isn't Friday typically a pretty easy going day in stock market land? I heard that somewheres...

I bet it will keep going down first thing Monday.

Plus, it isn't day trader power hour yet.

Monday the 13th is Columbus Day. Are the markets closed? If so, we could be seriously F*CKED Tuesday depending on what Asia and Europe do.

Problem is, you never know what might happen over the weekend. Remember, most of the large banks failed on Friday after closing bell.
