That said, the sludge is still out there, buried in 6 point footnotes to balance sheets and the Fed has not yet developed the "fix" for it. There are another couple of rounds of this type of creativity still ahead which is why I won't loose any sleep throwing money at gold and oil at the all-time highs.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/68328-requiem-for-a-departing-economic-system?source=feed#comment-126184 126184 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:50:53 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/68328-requiem-for-a-departing-economic-system?source=feed#comment-126032 126032 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:42:31 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/68328-requiem-for-a-departing-economic-system?source=feed#comment-125999 125999 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:38:38 -0400 http://seekingalpha.com/article/68328-requiem-for-a-departing-economic-system?source=feed#comment-125905 125905 Thu, 13 Mar 2008 09:14:26 -0400
28 days? 28 months? 28 years? has anyone determined exactly how long all this debt will take to pay back?

i still think the treasury should issue t-bills to the various and nefarious government agencies in lieu of electronic money for accounts payable. this way, we use up fewer electronic dots because the numbers are larger.

the agencies can then issue payments in t-bills and...the receivers of said faux cash can now say that, like the us savings bond...they invested in the past of america. (notice--i said past...not future.)

to invest in our future this way, the fed would need to issue counterfeit chinese t-bills. this doesnt matter, because the Fed cannot be taken to international court.

bingo....i should be sitting in the catbird seat...full of the previous owner's catbird droppings.

mail me a t-bill. i can use it to buy a soft drink and a burger...or...burritos. at least i can use the paper to wipe parts of my anatomy afterwards. i wish i had invested in zimbabwe t-bills.

then i could sell them to the fed for 28 days. just think of the money i could lose for them if the exchange rate were fixed at day one of the transfer.

extend this over the real amount of time these t-bills will stay in banker hands...and i could move to another unmentioned country and tata my way down roads soon to be fixed.

and they tell me creative accounting is a no no....perhaps ben should issue t-bills to the irs to pay our taxes. then we might be able to provide our own economic stimulus. after all, the purpose of the irs is to increase government revenue. if the fed sends the irs t-bills, they have just eliminated the need for us citizenry, the government can run on perfect autopilot...and....we can all become reverse wetbacks to mexico as long as we provide our own body armor and fully automatic weapons.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/63993-the-coming-collapse-of-international-credit-ratings?source=feed#comment-115713 115713 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:55:53 -0500 http://seekingalpha.com/article/63993-the-coming-collapse-of-international-credit-ratings?source=feed#comment-115686 115686 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:10:36 -0500 http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-109040 109040 Tue, 08 Jan 2008 17:00:30 -0500
Anyone else seeing Ron Paul graffitti in their town? ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-108854 108854 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 22:07:08 -0500
There is a lot of stuff going on in the world, but all we get are re-hashed stories about celebrities.

I would invest in a company that spends it's money on working, traveling, on the ground reporters, and less on anchors, pundits, and agendas. Go Ron Paul people!!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-108842 108842 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:52:34 -0500
The second is more important. If Ron Paul supporters are among sponsors of FOX, they will be reluctant to pay as much as on other channels. Same, if they get bombarded by supporters. Also, all FOX related companies will be bogged down by complaints which will disrupt their business.

The main impact will be how long supporters will keep up the continuous e-mailing and calling. If they can keep this up continuously for a year, NWS' earnings will be affected at the end of the year.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-108836 108836 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 20:21:16 -0500 http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-108800 108800 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:03:28 -0500
And I suspect we'll see that other leg materialize. Paul supporters are committed if nothing else, and I don't expect to hear that they've give up the battle against Fox & Murdoch. I'm expecting to make about 6-8 points before I look to cover.

However you feel about Paul's policies, if you're a stockholder, you can't be very pleased about Fox's rationale for excluding him and the resulting (unless it is coincidnetal) slide in the share price.

Keep it up, Paulites. Baby needs a new set of shoes, and I want Rupert and Roger to foot the bill!]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-108771 108771 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:46:17 -0500 ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-108763 108763 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:30:07 -0500 http://seekingalpha.com/article/59228-ron-paul-supporters-claim-hand-in-news-corp-rout?source=feed#comment-108745 108745 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 13:30:52 -0500

Also worth considering: Many of the independent financial newsletters -- particularly the gold-oriented or hard-money newsletters -- are supporters of Ron Paul. They're not going to be recommending Fox's stock in their newsletters -- and if anything they'll be trashing it.

Why would anyone buy stock in a “News” organization that seems so intent to lose whatever credibility that it might have had? If I had stock in Fox, I’d sell it to. If I were a speculator, I’d short the stock. If I were an advertiser, I’d put my dollars elsewhere. As far as I'm concerned Fox News is now the enemy.

For a great satire on the president, the mainstream media, and the war on terror, see this YouTube music video from the international award-winning zombie musical feature film, “Song of the Dead.” It’ stars horror movie veteran Reggie Bannister (Phantasm, Wishmaster, Bubba Ho-tep) as the president of the U.S. The filmmaker, Chip Gubera, is giving a share of his profits from DVD sales to the Ron Paul campaign.
