ABX up 8% but I don't know why, gold isn't up that much today so far. ATVI still down, ridiculous.
EDIT: I think this is a fool's rally, there is only bad news today. This rally is from people who see virtual "low value" hoping that everyone does the same so they can sell a few hours later. That's what I think.
EDIT2: My PS3's disc drive is dead! Argh

*sigh* it is looking that way. I'm just going to let my holdings marinate for awhile. Hopefully I can just break even by the end of next year.ArtG said:
Frustrating to see that some of the money I added into my account has disappeared. But... could have been worse! Looking forward to a few years from now when the dust settles.

I agree, I don't see today's rally holding out, or at the least, I'm sure it will be a bad day tomorrow if today does hold positive. I still feel today's prices are ones that will pay off in the long-term, for almost any of the blue-chip stocks. I've got a small pile of large-cap blue-chips in my portfolio, now I'm looking very very closely at small-cap stocks that I think can weather this storm and make large gains in 10-20 years. I mean, so is everyone else, but you guys get the point. :lol

Everything I'm looking at is green right now. BWA, VCP, TGI and ABX are over 10% today.
Maybe it will close in the green
The day after I said "might as well short everything!".
EDIT: Damn you BHI, it's actually in the red.

I don't get what happened there.
A co-worker walked in to my office today with a chart on his laptop from some newsletter that apparently costs 400 bucks a year to subscribe to, and has insider analysts giving the scoop on the current markert. Anyway, the article in question described how we are following the Great Depression almost to a T. The chart showed an overlay of both of them and how similar they are.
He concluded that in a few weeks, we will be much much much lower than we are now.
Thoughts?

Yep, Roubini said the same (well he said another 20 to 30% down to go).

Short-squeeze.
Porsche announced they used derivatives to build a ~75% stake in Volkswagen, pretty much polishing off the takeover that has taken forever.
Hedge Funds were generally short car makers because of the current climate. They all rushed to cover their short positions, buying anything in a mad rush to make sure they don't destroyed. Short-squeeze. The herd behaviour caused a huge spike in the price as they applied overwhelming buying pressure.
It's not something to be happy about, it's market manipulation taken to the extreme.

I'd be happy if I had Volks shares!
DOW +9%!
BWA up 25%, VCP at 19%

Wow, 10.5%! Is that a record?
EDIT: 11%! :lol

I think this has to be a record? Also, USD up 5.23% against the Yen, that has to be a near record for a one day gain.

Well the difference is we got +10% in one day, not over ten days
Good news about the LIBOR.
The next three weeks will be so important. The Nov. 15th meeting especially. Whatever comes out of it will depend on how the situation is by then.

Probably, but also I think that a major loss in the recent past leads to a strong desire for immediate short-term gains to make up for the recent loses, which leads to rallies when the market goes down to a certain level, only to lead to further drops soon after as people take their money out.
So we can expect, probably, even lower lows soon enough.
Nikkei up close to 600

Nintendo is announcing earnings on Thursday. Let's see how the stock moves after earnings announcement. Should be very interesting:
