My prediction: DOW -500 tomorrow Tuesday Jan 22, 08….

So what’s the story with Berkshire Hathaway? Up almost 4% today. Some portion of that no doubt is a “flight to safety” response, with BRK’s sterling reputation. Is there any speculation about takeovers floating around? It certainly would fit Buffett’s pattern to strike at a time like this.

Not all housing bears wish for stock market crashes, most of us reverse flippers moved R/E holdings into stocks or savings instruments. If inflation kills savings and rates go to nothing while stocks tank, we aren’t in that much better of a position (but still a little better). I know I am not rooting for a complete econimic meltdown or even a recession. I don’t think that just because one feels a certain asset class is overvalued that they think all classes are overvalued. I don’t believe that we need high unemployment, a stock market crash or any other calamity to get a housing correction. The housing bubble is partly to blame for the current conditions, more evidence of why our leaders should have attempted to avoid the bubble in the first place, rather than try and minimize the damage afterwards.

Bubble, lol. I came the clossest. It didn’t take a mathematician to know it would open low.

Seems like this whole thread will die a quick death with no real gloating from the bears since not only did we close much higher than when we opened, DOW future now is +52 points and the Hang Sang is up almost 11% in one day. Which completely recovered all of yesterday’s losses and then some. That’s some crazy volatility.
