    Just dont pay off the loans which in turn will bust the banks hence no debt

    The bank's debts will be sold off as assets to people who may not be as patient as your local friendly bank manager in getting their money back.

    I was thinking of going out for Hallowe'en as negative equity.
    Now that'll frighten the fanny mae right out of you.

    Well I have no debt bar the mortgage which is fixed until 2010. No other loans and no overdrafts or credit card debt etc..... saving like mad for the last while for the wedding next year so kinda used to living frugally anyway!

    God only knows what the mortgage interest will be like in 2010 though. :eek:

    And I'll go as Fannie Mae, and everytime I shout 'BAILOUT!' someone has to throw me a can of beer. Preferably someone dressed as 'The Fed.' Oh wow...so many possibilities!

    C'mon you gotta be more sensationalist than that....something along the lines of "The Catastrophic fall of the Dow on Black Monday has resulted in the Apocalypse....THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!"

    I will do that when if it were to hit -1000, because then it would be truly
    unreal and scary.

    Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's "Mad Money" and dedicated yelling enthusiast is apparently no longer content to behave strangely on his own television program, so he's taking the crazy to the Today Show.

    In our latest episode, Cramer tearfully informs Ann Curry that the time has come for some of you who are dabbling in the stock market to make a hasty retreat. If you're going to need access to your money in less than 5 years... sell! No matter what.

    What Jim is trying to say, through the tears, is that if you're planning on needing your money within 5 years — you shouldn't be investing in individual stocks.

    “I don’t care where stocks have been, I care where they’re going, and I don’t want people to get hurt in the market,” Cramer told Curry. “I’m worried about unemployment, I’m worried about purchases that you may need. I can’t have you at risk in the stock market.”
    RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
