QUADZILLION


The World Banks gave the stock markets a lifeline this weekend. Yesterday they treaded water on a rising Dow Jones. My friends in the financials crowed, "The bottom had been reached."

Today the Dow Jones climbed another 400 points before investors exhibited their natural nervousness by selling off the stocks so esteemed yesterday.

Profits before stability.

And so how low can we go.

The Mayan had a zero in their math.

"The Dow Jones won't go to zero." Investment bankers laughed in my face at the bar last night.

"No, it can go lower."

I don't want to see that happen, but it could, after all we still have the same frat boys in charge.
