I’m not an alarmist, but that’s the rumor spreading around Wall Street.
Just know, the stock is down the most since 1987.
According to Phoenix Partners: Countrywide debt protection costs rise to 26% upfront from 20%.
Basically, defaults are going through the roof at [[CFC]]. This turkey looks cooked (no pun intended, regarding CFC’s heralded CEO, Mozilo).
Anyway, if chapter 11 is imminent, I believe it would have a devastating effect on the markets, more so than Enron.
In short, do not buy stocks right now.
UPDATE: CFC just halted!
“The Fly” wins again, sort of.
UPDATE II: Countrywide says not substance to rumor it is planning to file for bankruptcy protection

I think “affect” was correct. But, with no time to debate, I will change it and question your point later.
Fuckface.
Nope, wrong.
You loose again!
loose?
Being a verb it is permissable [sic].
Go ask your English Professor.
Predictions for 2008:
DJIA will finish the year at 11,500.
CFC will file Chapter 11 (duh).
MVIS goes back to a 2 handle.
The Fly gets whipsawed all year, barely outperforming the 10 year Treasury, then blames his time machine.
Ducati, whose analysis is usually wrong, has a banner year, but still gets no respect. Odd, no?

Jake drops his Chinese accent and joins an English-speaking monastery, while secretly trading “sin stocks”.

The PG disbands due to FCC sanctions on it’s gay music videos and T&A posts.
It was not a verb. It was used as a noun.
You loose doubly.
Yes, pudfucker, loose.
It hurts! OH! MAKE IT STOP!
“I believe it would have a devastating effect on the markets…”
Verb fuckface.

The Fly is correct, “effect”.
“Effect” is a noun in your sentence.
“Affect” too, can be a noun. In the case of an affectation one takes on, as in:
Fly’s decision to keep his RIMM stock led to his ambulation’s gay affect for the remainder of 2008 and well into 2009.
Ok, I admit defeat, with hate in my heart.
A devastating defeat to the one called “WOODSHEDDER.”
LOL.
You made a valient affort.
Good on you all
I had an English professor once tell me i will never be a writer…
when i first published, i sent that man a signed copy with a note:
Dear Professor,
Fuck you.
–And now back to our regularly scheduled gloom and affect.
phatfriday,
If you were my student, I would give you an ‘A’ for the use of “affect” and an ‘F’ for originality in the use of “fuck you”.
Since you are not my student, go copulate with a capra aegagrus hircus.
ARAY about to break through 17, you are welcome. Up 10% since I mentioned it.
….even if CFC does not file for bankruptcy, or ends up selling/merging with another institution…..they will have to change their name….maybe some of you creative types can help them with this naming process…..might need to retain the stock symmbol, maybe not….
Originality is subjective. Fuck you.
Most people become professors because they lack the necessary originality to succeed in the field they teach. So they stand atop a tower a criticize under the guise of being ‘academic’ when in reality they cannot hack it.
Same goes for economists. Start trading.
phatfriday,
You, sir, are an asshat. Nothing can change that.
Begone, you irrelevant, menial drudge.
I am a total asshat. And you wear it well.
Egan Jones says CFC needs to raise $4 billion within two weeks.
Love the chatter. Good stuff.
For the love of jesus. Effect is the proper usage. It’s very simple. Causality. Cause: CFC files; Effect: market eats shit buffet. I can’t believe you would admit defeat on such.
