Are you just claiming that or is there something to back it up with?

If governments around the world wouldn't have stepped in, how many more companies would be bankrupt by now, how many people laid off?'

True, but only to some extent. There truly was a problem with the loans, you can't deny that. And the bubble would just have gotten bigger if it hadn't burst now.

Hey, even Europeans and Asians how have to do with the crisis are going suffering bc of that. |

| Even if the market recovers, how stable is it? Does anyone have the same confidence they did have? I don't trust it one bit. |

The market almost never response to logic. Why should the DOW be where it's at? ...Panic is why. Should you be in the Market if you need to be liquid?? |

That's actually how the system works. If you make bad choices, then you fail. It would be bad for the workers, but they could find work with other companies. Not all companies got involved with the junk. The governments of the world have just made this a long term problem, it doesn't need a quick fix- the panic would of worn off by itself- the media just magnified it.

Actually the bubble bursting is fine. There is really only a small number of bad loans and foreclosures. It just goes back to the same point, you make a bad choice and you pay. The system is made to work that way. Not you make a mistake and the government takes other peoples money to fix it for you.

Europe and Asia are far from innocent in all of this. They also provided these loans to their people and invested in the bad companies. Though they probably had considerably less.

That is very true. You can't predict the market. If you can't take the heat stay out of the fire. Most investing is long term, hence the name. Anything else is gambling. Now if you buy a stock and it jumps up 50%, I'd sell it-- but, trying to do this all the time will usually make you come out losing. |
