"There is a nascent belief that we have seen the lows and tested them and that we are through for the year when it comes to the downside. Indeed, big ECB and Chinese cuts and an auto bailout might help cure the uncertainty. But every time I buy I get hurt. So does everyone else. The bottom remains elusive. Endlessly so." - Jim Cramer

Then I fret that who the heck is going to lend the retailers money to hold down inventory for Christmas, and I see the prices of Liz Claiborne (LIZ) and Talbot's (TLB) and Ann Taylor (ANN) and Nordstrom (JWN) and J.C. Penney (JCP) and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) and Sears (SHLD) -- oh man, Sears -- and I think that these are all better than any of the newly private companies like Neiman Marcus, and I know bankruptcies are around the corner.
