Ok, I think I can help clear up some of the questions and scare the hell out of you at the same time.

1) The money is coming in from 2 places. New money being printed which only serves to further devalue out money. The rest is being planned into our taxes in the years to come.

2) The money is being distributed to banks that do not need the money so that they can buy up or merge with lesser banks. Not only that but the transparency that was promised to us for the bail-out bill is NOT being up held.

Now here’s the low down. The bail-out is so the fat cats can get fatter. You notice that there is NO economic bounce back. American “money” is ILLEGAL as mandated by the US constitutional law. As such, we as Americans have the ability to fix the problem by standing up and DEMANDING that we go back to gold instead of keeping us on this illegal fiat currency. Since that would never happen, plan for the coming economic collapse… Get ready for the new socialist republic, re-education camps, and ALL the other hardships that are on the way?

[...] It’s certainly an odd development: The bailout takes great pains to protect foreign investors – even though common shareholders will be wiped out. [...]

With all the doom and gloom with Fannie/Freddie, what about the fact that the government wont allow them to fail. Fannie showed a increase of 63% at one point today. Closed 35% up. Why not buy at 1.00 – 1.50 a share, could be over 5.00 per share in 1 year….big % gain…

Ouch!

Can anyone say goodbye derivative market? When will they learn?

A system primarily based on debt and inflation is doomed to fail. The surprising fact is that NO ONE SEEMS TO SMELL IT!

“None of the stories I’ve seen reference exactly where all this money for the rescue is coming from. Which makes the whole rescue concept more than a little suspect.”

Exactly, there are only three places this money could theoretically come from:

1. Taxpayers
2. Foreign countries investors or Banks etc. – The biggest threat to national security. Why terrorize us when you can just own us?
3. More printing of our already diluted currency

This situation is a very disturbing one, although I always remind myself that it is possible to make money in any market given the proper knowledge.

I am still learning…but feel like I am taking a crash course in economics on the fly!

The danger here is that the United States, and to some extent, the entire global economy risk falling into an inflationary depression.

This won’t stop with FRE and FNM.

History has shown that fiat currencies eventually become devalued due to human nature and we’re witnessing yet another example of irresponsible behavior by men and their money.
