" Stocks sink after government bailout of AIG "

" Wall Street tumbles again after government bails out AIG, Barclays buys Lehman businesses "

" NEW YORK (AP) -- Wall Street stumbled again Wednesday, with anxieties about the financial system still running high after the government bailed out insurer American International Group Inc. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped about 280 points.
The Federal Reserve is giving a two-year, $85 billion loan to AIG in exchange for a nearly 80 percent stake in the company after it lost billions in the risky business of insuring against bond defaults. Wall Street had feared that the conglomerate, which has its tentacles in various financial services industries around the world, would follow the investment bank Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. into bankruptcy. The ramifications of the world's largest insurer going under likely would have far surpassed the demise of Lehman.

"People are scared to death," said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist for PNC Wealth Management. "Who would have imagined that AIG would have gotten into this position?"

He said the fear gripping the market reflects investors' concerns that AIG wasn't able to find a lifeline in the private sector and that Wall Street is now fretting about what other institutions could falter. "

In preparation for an inevitable monster inflation, I've decided to close my bank account.

I'll invest my money into three boxes of Australian baby bats. I'll move to some quiet place in the countryside to raise them - they just need some fruits to eat and stuffed socks to clutch. Once the crisis is over, I'll make shitloads of money selling them outside emo concerts. I'm all tingly !

Hey your portfolio is about to increase. Ford and GM have their hats in hand looking for 50 billion in hand outs. All because they were too stupid/greedy to diversify out of trucks and SUV's when everyone else was. I wanna crash my business to get me some gov't money. Corporate welfare RULES!!!!!

Until it's not available anymore and that's good since you couldn't pay for it anyway. Just loan and lend I say to all major central banks!! It's been proven to be a great strategy for the world. And hey, if everything collapses, just print some more of those dollars so people have at least those little worthless papers to eat. Wow!
