Can you imagine TARP in this environment? I don't know that it will happen or be as helpful.
Fed is already sitting on make balance sheet so can't buy much more without amplifying risk and rates are already pretty low.
If this is 2008 Part Deux, how does it play out
It's not.

I think this is universally considered to be the worst investment advice.
Yes, sorry, you are right. I was thinking of something else. Ignore that advice.
lol really? I thought it was sarcasm, I guess you can never tell with the anonymous nature of the forum.
The best advice is of course to hold. If you have cash sitting then this may be an opportunity to purchase some stocks. The market is due for a correction, this may or may not be it, no need to panic.

Did you seriously think that, PP?
Have pity on the PP. Sometimes the coffee is slow to brew.
Don't trade until there is a lot of coffee.
