STOP THE MADNESS.

This market is irrational. It's become common knowledge that the banks are going to stop lending. Could someone please explain what the banking industry intends to do for income, if they'll no longer be lending out money for the interest? Take up farming? Give Paulson and Bernanke the boot, and put someone in there who doesn't sound terrified everytime he picks up a mic. It'll establish a psychological bottom for the market, so everyone can get back to rebuilding. I think you nailed it with the quote at the end. This market is irrational.
