with sooo many companies falling to shit, why did you feel the need to pretend to be interested in all this stuff? ur only 14 ffs, i hardly think it even affects you that much, never mind savings or a mortgage, do you even have a job or actually understand the value of money?

[bigpoppn]

Aero, just let him post his stupid topics and don't reply to it, there's too many.

[Smacktalks]

Well i'm happy all these companies are going under. I've shares in Lloyds TSB and apparently them buying HBOS means my share prices will go up

[bigpoppn]

You're really getting money out of everything, aren't you?

[Spectre]

Since he owns a share, then yes.

[Aero]

paul i hate you

[jitz]

No...the logo still says SmackTalks, I'm definitely in the right place.

Tom Petrovsky would be so proud of you guys.

(that's only mildly humourous to Australians, if you're not from Australia which is all of you, it's not funny).

[Joe =/]

LMAO @ CHRIS !

No I don't get it, but I thought I'd make you feel good by laughing..

[Smacktalks]

or worse by lying and then revealing the truth...

I doubt it'll make too much of an increase, but heres hoping.

[jitz]

It actually did make me feel better.

Tom Petrovsky is the finance news reader on the late news on Channel Ten here. He's been doing it for years, yet still he's as useless at reading news as the day he was hired. He's sentence breaks are just strange at best, and it just seems like he's stuttering all the time, but he isn't. Poor Tom...

[crunk]

Hahaha Tom Petrovsky is a legend.

I'll take him over the forced banter between the ranga sports tonight guy and the news chick any day.

Dow just fell 800 points.

By JOE BEL BRUNO, AP Business Writer

NEW YORK - Wall Street suffered through another traumatic session Monday, with the Dow Jones industrials plunging as much as 800 points and setting a new record for a one-day point drop as investors despaired that the credit crisis would take a heavy toll around the world. The Dow also fell below 10,000 for the first time since 2004, and all the major indexes fell more than 7 percent.

The catalyst for the selling was the growing realization that the Bush administration's $700 billion rescue plan and steps taken by other governments won't work quickly to unfreeze the credit markets. Global banks, hobbled by wrong-way bets on mortgage securities, remain starved for cash as credit has dried up.

That sent stocks spiraling downward in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and drove investors to sink money into the relative safety of U.S. government debt. Fears about a global recession also caused oil to drop below $90 a barrel; and the benchmark index that gauges fear in the market jumped to the highest level in its 18-year history.

"The fact is people are scared and the only thing they're doing is selling," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "Investors are cleaning out portfolios and getting rid of everything because nothing seems to be working."

The selling was so extreme that only 67 stocks rose on the NYSE

Fuck off, bitch.Stop posting things you don't even understand.

*Ugh, I know it dropped 800 points, ugh*

So what, the only conclusion I take from this is that Americans are partially the one to blame for the Belgian economy crisis.I don't need you posting it again and again and again.You're stupid, stop posting here and go die in a fire.

[Nemo]

poppn, first and last warning to quit hounding subrick.

[bigpoppn]

Oh come on, he's so stupid it makes me pissed.

Never mind, I'll try to keep it to myself.

[phil]

Oh come on, he's so stupid it makes me pissed.

I'm not a fan of Subrick either, but at least he's being aware of the impending doom my country's economy faces. And maybe your pissed because he posted it first and you didn't even bother to, poppn?

[Chillalex]

holy shit theres two digital chicks making out at the bottom of this post

[bigpoppn]

Phil, that made no sense at all.And don't think America is in this alone, Europe has a crisis too.And guess who's responsible?"We want to dominate the world"-America.

I said that because any of us could've posted this article, but only Subrick did. By lashing out at him, I assumed that you were jealous over him posting it "because he's so stupid it makes you pissed". And I am aware that Asia and Europe are in deep trouble as well.

[Niles Jansen The Third]

yeah poppn you have to at least get pissed when he's actually doing something wrong.

[The Don]

Poppn, just shut up. Almost every post of yours I've seen lately has been tearing into Subrick. You're not fitting in, you're not gaining acceptance and you're not even being original. Sal just warned you, I would MP you already.

To summarize:

Poppn: Shut up.

Phil: Drop it.

Subrick: Die in a fire.

This topic is now about cars... I was at work today and saw an Audi R8 in front of the office. Fucking rich ass indians...
