If they halt investor redemptions, then what? You might as well stick ure head up the ass and fervently wish this is just a bad dream. Haven't we already gone down that lane back in 2000?

S&P said it has not taken any action on the "450 money market funds around the world to which it assigns principal stability fund ratings. Less than half a dozen of the rated funds have exposure to the asset-backed commercial paper programs that experienced maturity extensions last week." (Reuters)
You know as much as I do what this means.

This is from Yahoo! Finance:
Exacerbating investors' nervousness on Tuesday was confirmation that Sentinel Management Group Inc., which oversees $1.6 billion in assets, is seeking to halt investor redemptions. Other funds are said to have similar problems as they face withdrawal demands at a time it has become difficult to value low-quality debt.
Hedge funds and other big institutional investors have taken a beating in recent weeks due to the market turbulence. On Monday, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said three funds it manages have had significant losses -- and infused $3 billion in capital into one of them.
===============================================================================
Halting investor redemptions!!?
That sounds like Enron!
And on top of that .... the Central bank infusions on Friday, now Goldman Sachs?
Goldman Sachs - $3 billion infusion
FRB - $38 billion infusion
Japan - $8.4 billion infusion (1 trillion yen)
Reserve Bank of Australia - $4.19 billion infusion
European Central Bank - $214 billion infusion
Are the U.S. markets are on life support?
Nice of them to help, tho'.
I wonder if I send them my bank account number, can I get an "infusion"?

The CPI data came in line with the consensus, which means the market might get its relief rally. The caveat is whether the Fed will now (preemptively) lower the interest rate, perhaps sooner than later.

Talk about a wall of worry. There is absolutely no one putting down any bets. The market giveth and the market taketh away.

In my view, the bears have definitely overstayed their welcome. Considering that the options expiration is just around the corner, they might get squeezed out with their pants down. While the bulls were collectively shot down in flames for the last few weeks, their pathological stubbornness to push this market higher at the slightest chance they get is not to be outdone.
