How I Cashed In While Everyone Else Cries

Monday, October 13, 2008 | John M (jmicheline)

How I have cashed in while everyone else cries. It’s funny to hear my uncle, who is intelligent, successful, and investor for 20 years crying over how much money he has lost during this bear market. I ask him the simple question, “Why?” “What do you mean why” he answers ...

Who's really to blame for this financial crisis?

Thursday, October 9, 2008 | jb (jbweb1)

Seems like everyone is pointing the finger at everyone else. The most common and most convenient to blame is the fat cats on Wall Street. Everyone is saying they should have been more honest and less greedy. Come on, that's just ridiculous. Wall Street is about making money... by any means possible. ...

Rescue the economy through the solvent small banks

Friday, October 3, 2008 | Helmut (engcomp)

The stated objective of the $700B rescue plan is to provide liquidity to the market and keeping industry and the economy going. This is a smokescreen under which the big banks want to offload their junk assets onto the taxpayer. Here is a suggestion: Instead of giving the $700B to Morgan Stanley ...

Historic Times

Friday, October 3, 2008 | Fijiisland (jvjayhawk)

The MSNBC talking head told us to remember this day to tell our kids. This would be a day studied in the future as “the day the U.S. nationalized the home mortgage market”. WOW, we truly live in historic times. After the bailout bill passed, the market tanked. Everyone that had sold this bill ...

Written in 1719, this could have been written today

Saturday, September 27, 2008 | Helmut (engcomp)

Every now and then the world is visited by one of these delusive seasons, when the credit system .... expands to full luxuriance: everybody trusts everybody; a bad debt is a thing unheard of; the broad way to certain and sudden wealth lies plain and open; and men are tempted to dash forward boldly ...

A Stimulative Federal Spending Cut

Monday, September 8, 2008 | N/A (dixon757)
