		<description><![CDATA[With the slow motion housing crash still in progress and living in one of the nation&#8217;s hardest hit areas (northern California), it seems as if I am seeing more signs touting reverse mortgages, much like the &#8220;We Buy Houses&#8221; signs often stapled onto street poles. As a thirty-something homeowner, I am pretty sure  such a [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m sure readers have read tomes on the bailout and probably have pretty strong negative positions on it already.  It&#8217;s sickening all the way around &#8212; everyone agrees on that.  I&#8217;m less sure that readers truly know what the stakes are.  After all, constant cries of &#8220;economic crisis&#8221; doesn&#8217;t really say much about what specifically is going on.  My take is as follows: Michael &#8220;Mish&#8221; Shedlock has been ringing the alarm [...]]]></description>

Keep in mind the big spike in oil prices during the quarter (and the big drop since). Operating cash flow improved markedly in Q2 2008 to $671M, [...]]]></description>

Inexplicably, news of Russia opening a 2nd front has not prevented oil from falling 2% and gold 4% on the day.
