    I own a good number of stocks in the list and have held my own quite well during September. However, the economy must be allowed to grow. Reply

    Really a little goodie is it not, the dividend stocks are nice, but that hardly makes up the whole market or the economy for that matter. Having a portfolio that includes dividend paying stocks is a good idea, comes under diversification. Wholly unconnected is the clap traddle about mark to market: either we know the value or we don't, if we do not we say so. It is the truth and avoiding it is dishonest. As for your FDIC approval, it is only to help the banks hold on to deposits. But when a bank weakens the depositor who watch price know when its time to leave. You like hiding your head under bushels when the view is not your liking. That is not reasonable or supportable. Reply

    It may be time for "the government to gain ownership of public companies", they can't run themselves profitably, they lie and cook the books so maybe it's time to Nationalize the banking industry. The U.S. has long had heavy regulations on Utilities because it is necessary for them to serve the public and not be jacked around by price gouging and incompetence. Well we are now told that the free market economy can't function without the banking industry which has proven itself incompetent thus needing strict regulation (another word for Nationalization).

    Weekly Wrap-Up: Insider Buys and Sells and Economic Reports Preview (Sept. 22-26) [view article]
    Your link to OESX is wrong. MORE IMPORTANTLY, it looks like the insider did not sell the shares but rather they had been transferred to a trust (which did the selling? I can't tell if this form was JUST for the transfer "at closing price" or if the trust actually sold). Reply

    Good call on ACE, for it has managed to sidestep the financial meltdown befallen competitor AIG.

    Eight Insurers Which Stand to Gain from AIG's Pain [view article]
    former Met Life President Freddie Ecker is spinning in his grave! He always felt that Metropolitan had no right to invest money in the stock market. Their exposure seems to be minimal but as a retiree I am nonetheless concerned. The pundits are looking around for someone to blame for the current mess. Is this whole debacle the result of deregulation? Reply

    AIG Must Not Fail! - Cramer's Stop Trading! (9/15/08) [view article]
    after reading this article and comments, I still don't see what the whole big to do is with AIG's failure.

    The only thing that I could figure out is that there is someone of importance working for AIG that the biggies don't want to lose a job.

    There are plenty of good insurance companies that could gobble AIG and it should happen after all BK is nothing nowadays.

    Another afterthought is that someone doesn't want the public to know what AIG is doing with the liberal accounting.

    1. Cramer is a jackass and a silly fool. 2. AIG is a shady outfit that must be allowed to die. Reply

    Cramer is a clown, a performer, an actor, a braggart who can't remember when he says a misguided word of optimism or guidance.
    The entire premise is he and GE take the stand that he is nothing less than one long infomercial. And according to the laws an advertisement is an advertisement and nothing more. It is not an offer, it is not a guarantee, it is no a solicitation.

    For the other issue of discussion, why does the governmet allow a "Mom and Pop" store fail? When they fail the governemt autions off all the assets to pay all debts, but, when a large corporation like MER, or AIG falter under the same misguidance learned and demonstrated by Jim Cramer the governemt comes to the rescue.
    In my humble opinion nothing real bad would happen if any of the big boys collasped. You would have a bunch of smaler scavengers scraping up the goods and going about their ways. The risk of allowing a government insured company like Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae go bust is it would mean the goverment guarentee is worthless. While if the big boyss go bust and the CEOs are held accountable for their actions it sends a clear message throughout the indutry that enough is enough.
    Let's hope the hocky mom gets into office. I can wait another two years when McCain drops out of sight and leaves her the reins.
    The pig sty has to be cleaned out every now and then to make sure the rest of the farm animals don't catch hoof-and-mouth disease.
    I just wish someone in law enforcement would exercise their oath to defend the counstitution against all enemys foriegn and domestic and make a few politicians and CEOs do their public PERT Walk.

    I love the way these people pick and choose who they are going to bail out. Ihave a problem with the whole bail out thing. It seems like the Feds are being bullied by the market, I dont know about the bullying with AIG but definitely with the rates. Reply

    Why does Cramer get so much press? Like most bookies, he gets his going and coming. He plays his audience for suckers.

    Why do we lionize such foolishness?
