Bounce? How About an End to the Selling?

IBM(IBM Quote - Cramer on IBM - Stock Picks) actually hurts things, not helps them.

We need to get this market to some level where there is no hope, and then hope rears its beautiful head and the event is postponed again.

This is one of the worst markets I have ever seen. It is relentless. There is so much failure in the air, so much stink, like the stink from a sweaty Under Armour(UA Quote - Cramer on UA - Stock Picks) or the biggest miss I have seen from a company in years.

MBIA's(MBI Quote - Cramer on MBI - Stock Picks) paper, the oversubscribed paper from last week, the 14% coupon, is already down to 75.

Merrill Lynch(MER Quote - Cramer on MER - Stock Picks) tells us nothing about its portfolio, and we are supposed to be happy with it. Citigroup(C Quote - Cramer on C - Stock Picks) is still not at book. Washington Mutual(WM Quote - Cramer on WM - Stock Picks) is still being run by Killinger after that quarter. The layoffs haven't begun. Everyone is still in business.

We want an end to the selling. But it remains endless. The sellers never finish. And when you have an Ambac(ABK Quote - Cramer on ABK - Stock Picks) or a PMI(PMI Quote - Cramer on PMI - Stock Picks) or a Radian(RDN Quote - Cramer on RDN - Stock Picks) or a UA, who can blame them?
