How to Read This Blog

(c) 2010 F. Bruce Abel

OK, you've noticed. I've stooped to pretty much just clipping segments from key articles and putting them on this blog without commentary or labeling. It's because of the new ease of doing this -- probably the work of Google, but I'm not sure! One clicks over about a paragraph and can transfer a link and the paragraph directly to this "Blogger" blog.

In the meantime European markets are extending their losses. Lowest levels since September. Geithner and Secretary Clinton talk from China. Cramer has saved me a lot by his call to basically get out of the market. At least for the past ten days.

Happy Anniversary

How Were Rates on October 8, 1998?

See below from New York Times of October 9, 1998:

The Day Cramer Says He Panicked

Torward the end of the day, with redemptions looming, he couldn't take the pressure of the falling market and he sold pretty much everything. The Trading Goddess told him to go out and get a bagel. When he got back she had bought everything back. And the market had bottomed that afternoon.
