I have gone through 2 bear markets in ten years and can’t believe I’m still here. Anyways I just want to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and best of luck in 2010

This one felt 1000 times worse then 02.   

I thought I was mr badass. 87,90,98,02   no problem. been there. im the man. thick skin.

I remeber in late sept 08 when Reserve Fund broke the buck and libor went nuts telling my wife:
I'm scared to death.   

She had been conditioned on "think long term blah blah blah".

I said huni buni....Im scared to death....no shti.    

I'm not sure what it looks like when "trust" is gone from system.   I started thinking about stuff I have never thought about like taking money off line of credit just to get the cash etc.
   
Then in March the relentless client pounding...I finally said to people maybe the GD world is coming to an end. You wanna sell? go for it.    It was hard to fight people from bailing.   Remember when the MF market was dropping like 400 MF points a day. Id sit there some days just drooling...staring at screen like a zombie.   

mer, wb,fnm,fre,leh,aig.....gone.     surreal

spx 666.......1120 seemed 1000% IMPOSSIBLE.   ?

man it sucked.

merry xmas to everyone!
