So how long is the band aid going to stick on Wall Street?

A band aid is a great placebo for my kids. Works like a charm.

For a while.

1. About as long as lipstick on a pig I reckon.

4. That much of a bounce on what is nothing more than a possibility...

is evidence of just how desperately they are grasping at straws. That kind of irrational and unfounded euphoria can't last very long. Certainly less than a week, possibly less than 24 hours.

7. Well, tomorrow is Friday.

They'll all have time to stew this weekend.

CRAP. My 401K is getting smashed, I'm sure.

5. 48 hours at most. Only long enough for the Radical reich to get their money out and steal more from

your pile. They are going to have these fed bounces to allow them to get out and try to fool us into getting back in.

6. Only until the festering infection overpowers it and it's no longer able

to contain it.

8. A few weeks. 6-8 weeks. Unless something drastic happens with Wamu.

9. Something is ALREADY happening with WAMU.

Off 13% in After Hours.

As for the Band Aid, they could care less.

They are trying to save themselves.

The rest of us can die quietly and eat cake.
