I can't wait until the European Central Bank buys Italian and Spanish bonds and saves the day.

I would still like to see nothing less than a Constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget put up for a vote in the U.S. Even Italy is proposing the same thing over there, although it remains to be seen if that actually happens.

[Denny]

Neither government will do that, as it restricts them too much.

Should we give so much credit to the S&P rating? Who gave AAA ratings to bonds that later became known as toxic assets? S&P has made many large mistakes in ratings so why is it that the world can move on what this organization has to say? American t-bonds are still going to be the safest bet out there. I just don't understand.

if they are so good at evaluating how did they miss last time? take that rating with a grain of salt and buy while these dumbasses are scared

Buy gold now? I know you're kidding, but just to let you know, 90% of my metals were purchased in the second quarter of 2010. I've bought a few dips on the way up and played on some options as well.

It's nice to see the ignorance played out on here, though.
