    folks- its a ll a game run by the same power elite for themselves.when are you going to comprehend this? no matter how bad a job is done there is no accountability except for down the ladder jerks who will get pink slipped while the ceo gets raises or infrequently a golden parachute only to pop up in another co. to ruin them.in any system a certain amount of honesty & ethics have to prevail.you cant have a law for everything.sadly this system is beginning to rot from the inside.no-im not a communist,socialist,un... or doom & gloom guy.just a realist as i see the financials trotting out their losses slower & slower instead of the transparancy they owe their stockholders(suckerhol... as i call them).

    Oil sector making loss is inline with the expectation in the light of current circumstances I would say this is a good opportunity to buy oil related stock! Reply

    Fitzman,
    Don't try to politicize a problem that has existed for decades...our auto companies are over regulated, taxed, and encumbered by uncompetitive labor costs, especially when you look at the wrap rate including benefits. Legacy costs are almost impossible to meet, and there is no relief on the horizon. When people like you figure out the real problems in this country, perhaps then we will collectlvely conclude the current systems we have in place needsto be overhauled. Making the president a dem doesn't change that.     Reply

    I had the same response to the big automakers self-created plight as Fitz--it's outrageous that the same companies that fought CAFE standards tooth and nail for years now come begging for loans to, yeah, you guessed it, make their cars more fuel efficient! Would love to know how many millions were spent over the years by the Big Three on lobbyists to fight these very standards they're now embracing out of economic necessity. Toyota OTOH had the street smarts and market prescience to develop the Prius over 10 years ago when crude was dirt cheap, while GM was crushing its EV1's and turning that same production line over to the then new Hummer line.

    The criteria for getting any and all Fed subsidies should include removing the officers and directors who got the company into trouble and requiring repayment of any bonuses paid in the past, say, three years.

    It is the height of insanity to reward the very same people who pursued the disastrous policies that put their companies in jeopardy.     Reply

    Of course, many, many people are predicting at least one more big downward movement. The overriding reason there is still the precarious loan problem. The news Friday was that a much higher percentage of loans were becoming delinquent (results for July vs. June and 1 year ago). Reply

    MSmailbox: Bad joke! I am sure there are some good regional banks which are in fact good buys at the moment.

    With the economic weakness starting to show in Europe, it seems likely that the ECB will not raise rates anytime soon (or may even lower rates). This makes the rise of the dollar more likely. Barring huge oil price increases, which favor the Euro over the US Dollar, it seems likely the dollar will rise over the next several months. This might just make US equities markets a good place to be (at least in good stocks).     Reply

    Sorry. I meant the Chicago Fed National Activity Index. It was lower for July than June. Reply

    This is the buying opportunity of the decade, for select regional banks... There is an atmosphere that nothing (financial) is any good and nothing could be furthur from the truth... There is at least one regional, that is responsibly, plugging along, just as it always has. It's a "baby," which was "thrown out with the bathwater." I wouldn't doubt it, if this growing bank were to purchase some of the others, at pennies on the dollar and be huge, within 5 years! The name of this bank is... Gee, I seem to have momentarily forgotten, but I'm absolutely certain, that it will come back to me. :-) Reply

    "Bernanke suggests need for new regulatory approach"

    II have a sneaky suspicion that if Fanny and Freddie would have held their standards at the expected level all along, our current problems would be much smaller and confined to the private sector where the risk/reward equation could be working it’s magic without bringing the entire system down.

    What I mean is if Fanny and Freddie would not have purchased those innovative investments, like CDO’s, which contained non-conforming loans and would have limited themselves to purchasing investment paper that conformed to the same risk level as CONFORMING loans are supposed to represent, my guess is this contagion would have been greatly limited. But they set the tone by purchasing high risk investments.

    So, it seems to me we already have the regulations in place. What we don’t have is the discipline to live by them. The government set the bad example and now they want to regulate more. Someone needs to bring some sanity to the system. Unfortunately, I don’t’ have much hope that will ever happen since greed and self-interest is carrying the day in the USA.

    The Euro-zone factory orders and the negative news about the KDB views on buying Lehman should turn the market negative today. The Chicago PMI data was also bad. The SPY is already down $0.91 today. It seems likely we will have another 200+ down day on the DJIA.

    What a country. Congress for years refused to pass higher CAFE standards and instead voted for small business tax breaks to those buying Hummer and other SUV's. Now that the US auto makers have become un-competitive due to these policies, the middle class taxpayers are being asked to bail them out at the same time they move their jobs overseas. Are we hosed or what? I mean, where is the money going to come from after the Bush administration doubled the deficit the last 8 years? The US dollar has got to return to a steady down trend....

    Boeing Drags Its Heels on Air Force Bid [view article]
    You obviously don't know what you are talking about. The Air Force has clearly changed it's requirements by requiring a larger Tamker/Freighter than previously by the original Request for Proposal.
    If they want Boeing in the competition, they will have to give them time to propose one of their larger airplanes.     Reply
