These are scary times we’re in. The takeover of Fannie and Freddie over the weekend only caused a one day pop in the stock market. Today, all those gains and more were reversed.
Lehman Brothers was down a whopping 44% to $7.79 while Washington Mutual lost 20%, closing at a mere $3.30.
Yeah, I own puts on financials so I make money if they drop. But there’s so much bad news - and just how many rescues can the government do before it has to be rescued?

Central banks are taking on so much dodgy debt that they will put themselves at risk if they continue extending support to their banking systems.
The solution is to do what capitalists profess to believe but what we’re not seeing much of lately. Let the weak die. Don’t prop them up.
A central bank collapse in any major country would probably crater the world financial system, at least temporarily.

Spent several hours today loading software on my new HP laptop. It’s a Pavillion with Vista 64 and 4 GB of RAM. So, far, everything has gone quickly and easily. It’s my first Vista computer and the learning curve has been surprisingly mild indeed.
Since I plan to learn PHP, I installed WAMP. This allows me to set up a local web server on my laptop for testing programming. WAMP stands for Windows, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. WordPress and many other web applications use Apache, MySQL, and PHP to run.
So now, for example, I can test a new look and feel for Polizeros on my local machine before uploading up. And with 4GB of RAM, I don’t have to worry about memory problems.
Packages like WAMP also exist for Macs and Linux. Since Apache, MySql, and PHP are all open source and free, these installation programs are too. They just bundle AMP into one, easy to install package. Nice.
