This didn’t make me feel any more confident about the markets. It seems like the fed and the treasurery are really reaching for a solution and they don’t know what to do, they’re just shotgunning possible stuff out there.
Not that I want to be lied to or anything to feel confident, I want to know that truth, and I want transparency in the markets so I can make informed decisions about my investments. Right now I’m feeling pretty smug about hedging 25% of my portfolio with a double inverse of the S&P 500 and a double inverse of the Dow Financials (yeah, I know, I have financials in my portfolio, they’re still paying dividends, I just hope Citigroup doesn’t fail now too) as of last Monday, but I don’t think that the “powers that be” have a handle on what to do to stop this meltdown.
