Is Your Money Safe? Know What You Own

FDIC's are stable or else there would be big trouble...

how safe are cd accts

Don't be so certain. FDIC is totally underfunded. In fact, reserves are below the minimum set by Congress. Congrees needs to fund the FDIC, but what's another 50 billion here or another 50 billion there?

shouldn't we consider a 'real' communist government? if with 'good' leaders (always promised by democrature) what would be the problem? one thing for sure: greed is no good!

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea...eventually.

The government keeps "pumping" billions into the "Financial System". Where exaclty is this money going and how is it being used?

This is a market correction. It's been overdue. Do you remember the savings and loan bailout in the 1980? Soon afterward the market had one of the biggest rallies of alltime. Sit tight for a year or so. And then hold on!

GOOD PREFERREDS STILL HAVE GOOD YIELDS SO WHAT IF THEY FLUCTUATE,,,THE LOSS IS INCURRED OLY IF U PANIC AND ,SELL

FDIC = NEARLY BROKE LOL

There are some many hard working Americans struggling right now; is the government going to bail all of them out of their mortgages that are being foreclosed upon? Why is it that any financial problems faced by your average Joes is all their own fault for "over-extending" or living beyond their means but the filthy rich corporate entities are the ones that the Government jumps to rescue? Are they worried that AIG will have to do business from a cardboard box in the alley next to the homeless people that they created with their "over-extending" and shady dealings? We trust the Government to protect us as citizens but it seems all they protect is their pockets. Are you as happy as I am to be living the American Nightmare? I've worked hard all my life and the small retirement fund I have is growing smaller by the minute. Nevermind the fact that I have to work another 30 years before I am legal retirement age and of course I have to pay in to Social Security during the next 30 years as well. But, by the Government's estimate, I will not be able to collect a single penny of the money that I have paid in (since I was sixteen years old) because the well is going to be all dried up by the time I'm eligble to collect. God Bless America (but not the Americans that make up America-just the Government and the Corporate cronies!)

hang in there-you will make money

Financial security? If the Middle East or China wanted to topple the US, now would be the time. If they dump their T-bills, the dollar would plunge and we would all be broke. We will reap the whirlwind by replacing the gold standard with the Federal Reserve Note. Where is this money coming from that the Fed is bailing out failing businesses with? They are printing it, further devalueing our "dollar". Eventually our "dollars" will be as worthless as a stock note from a Enron.

There is so much emotion floating around and people are making things worse by being in PANIC mode. Let they system work. This too shall pass. If it doesn't, we are all in deep yogurt. Selling stocks now doesn't help a person's situation. Granted, there are some that are awful, but I suspect the majority of stocks are still a reflection of a well managed company and the fundamentals of that company are still good.

The money all these guys have been using to "play the markets, was not money they actually had. It was money they borrowed. That's called "Leveraging" or using "Other People's Money". The reason the stock market had run up 1400 percent from 1980 was because there was a progressively increasing amount of leveraging going on to the point where leveraging was at 40 to 1. For every 40 dollars "floating the market" or really just keeping it "artificially inflated" there was just $1 of real collateral backing that dollar. It has been a dead "Golden Calf" all you fools have been greedily worshipping thinking "I'm making money while I sleep" or my "money is safe in the marketplace". Really what you have been worshipping is an artificially pumped up baloon of "The Golden Calf" that is now deflating. The money from the government is a desperate manipulation attempt by the government to keep all the ignorant sheeple believing the big lie that everything is A-okay to persuade voters to vote GOP. Despite what the song says, you are all getting "fooled again". It's all just a big game of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul and robbing from Luke to pay Peter. Except YOU are Luke!!!! Paul is the "fat cats" of the rich elite that are wanting that you all just become another slave to the New World Order, while they acquire and control access to all resources, jobs, food, fuel, housing, etc. The next step is to confiscate weapons under the guise of "for the good of the nation", so when you dummies finally do wake up, and consider banding together to protect your freedom, you will be unable to do so. As Oliver Wendall Holmes said in disgust after the crash of 1929 "the people deserve the government they are willing to tolerate" I myself am not advocating anything, I am merely expressing an opinion of what is going down and sharing that with you to do your own "due diligence" about.

AND I 'M FREE FALLIN

SOMEONE is getting rich at our expense!! Please ask: "WHY there is still no uptick rule in place? And why the SEC removed the rules put in place to prevent short-selling us into a crash, but sis NOT remove the rules that would allow a company to protect itself from the same? They KEPT the rules that limiting companies buying back there own stock! Clickity-click from the hedgefunds and they get richity-rich! Someone needs to follow the money!!!!

Oh yeah somone is definatly getting rich. The big CEOs play casino at our expense and broke the house. That, and isn't it odd that Bernenkie helped two companies out, but none of the others. I think he alowed the collapsed to happen, by just sitting back and drink a cup joe as the stock market collapsed.
