**** Official Adanthar Tries To Crush The Market Thread ****

[AvivaSimplex]

You know that outside shot I mentioned last time? It's turning the corner. Bankruptcy isn't going to happen, but Bush is going to use TARP funds. Now the intrade question is whether he increases the size of the package. Because circumstances have changed, and hey, what's $4 billion between plutocrats?

I'd put the odds of a $20B package between 1 and 5%. I really don't see any value in staying short right now.

Anybody watching the Blagojevich departure contracts? He really might be crazy enough to stay on till next year.

I just wanted to pop into this thread to say:

lol Blagojevich.

That is all.

what do you think is the blindingly obvious outcome re: blagojevich?

either he resigns, gets thrown out, or resigns as part of some plea. It seems unlikely the last 2 happen by 1/1. You think it's an 88+% chance he resigns?

full disclosure i don't have a position on that contract either way

What happened in the Coleman-Franken race?? A +25% swing in the last two days??
