This is fun...

Hit by an inflation that reached 2.2 million percent in june, Zimbabwe released its 100 billion Zimbabwean dollars bill.

Well, twice in my lifetime Brazil cut three zeros from the currency to avoid such mess. Our breakfast 50g bread was costing some 1.000 and you bought cars for 50 million around here LOL...

Look the amount of Zeros there !!! If you shake up the bill, you might end up buried in zeros

Conversation in a Zimbabwean bar.

Man: Hey baby, want to go to my place?

Woman: Only if you have at least one hundred of those 100 billion dollar bills in your wallet?

Or on the phone with the broker:

trader "yo! I need you to wire me 1.2 trillion dollars today, ok?"

broker "Fine, 1.2 trillion... is 1 point 2 zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero"

trader "yes... zero zero zero"

broker "damn, I lost it. one point two zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero , right?"

trader "I think there is a missing zero there"

broker "really? let me see: one point two zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero "

trader "never mind..."

dow will break 10,000 soon. A few bear market rallies in there but a slow steady decline. Based on technical analysis on the weekly chart we should see it go all the way down to about 9200.

Glad I trade forex and not stocks anymore.

to me at least forex is easier right now. there is so much uncertainty in the u.s. stock markets. something can happen to one company and it brings down the rest in the sector hard and fast even if there is no valid reason to do so. investors are skiddish at best so I will stick with forex since it has treated me so well.

CHOO-CHOOOOO

Merrill Lynch said it expects to take a $5.7 billion pretax writedown in the third quarter due to losses on the sale of mortgage assets and plans to raise at least $8.5 billion by selling new common shares.

The writedown train is going wild

CHOO-CHOOOOO - TCHEK TCHEK TCHEK CHOO-CHOOOOOO

Pre-Tax? They pay taxes on writedowns?

Edit: At least this explains why the futures are pointing up... guess the market expected worse... or maybe it doesn't explain anything...

You got to be kidding me!
Quoting Bloomberg
Merrill said it sold $30.6 billion of CDOs to an affiliate of the Dallas-based investment firm Lone Star Funds, resulting in a pretax writedown of $4.4 billion. Merrill will provide financing for about 75 percent of the purchase price, according to the statement.
Someone check if I'm understanding right because this seems to stupid to be true.
1) Merrill has crappy assets and sells them for 30 billion taking a 4.4 billion loss
2) Company that wants to buy the assets does not have the money
3) Merrill lends them 75% of the 30 billion so they can buy it anyway.

This is crazy... so Merrill takes a 4.4 billion loss and now still has 75% of the crappy assets, they just changed the name of the asset.

This is funny, too..

Aviation fuel's price skyrocketed here in Brazil. One airline had already changed its standard operation so the airplanes now will cruise 5km/h slower ( total $10 gazzilion per year saved).

Another airline's meal now comes with less olives on long hauls - I'm not kidding!!!

Now they changed another operation: pilots must shut down one engine right after the landing, so to save some drops ($60 per landing) in the taxi (total, another $10 gazzilion per year saved).

First question: why haven't they thought about that before?

Second question: what's next? issue a new low carb diet for the crew to lose a couple pounds?

Stewardess in bikini to drop the clothing weight? (I like that one )

It's a crazy world out there...
