<Seems they got out of the mortgage business from the latest quarterly report.> Mr Phil Grandie said when the home builders start selling off thier finance divisions to the banks - it about over - cause that where the real money is - and some builder had just sold off the finance part to countrywide I think and he said it time to short them cause things must be bad. GM was not a car company anymore - the big money was in finances right? The reset button getting pushed all over now - hehe.

HAHA my bud with offshore online gambling setup gonna have to rethink his business model - HAHA! games.slashdot.org Pokerbots Making Online Players Sad Posted by Zonk on Saturday August 27, @07:45PM from the in-fact,-forget-the-blackjack dept. Anonymous Coward wrote to mention a Wired article about the rise of Pokerbots in online gaming venues. From the article: "Smart, skilled players are rewarded in the long run, especially online, where there are plenty of beginners who would never have the nerve to sit down at a real table. But WinHoldEm isn't just smart, it's a machine. Set it to run on autopilot and it wins real money while you sleep. Flick on Team mode and you can collude with other humans running WinHoldEm at the table. For years, there has been chatter among online players about the coming poker bot infestation. WinHoldEm is turning those rumors into reality, and that is a serious problem for the online gambling business."
