Nine Months Later: Some Annual Predictions from the Financial Press [view article]
Root Problem: FRE & FNM used up to 100x leverage, AIG & LEH used up to 30X leverage; and that's after the banks used up to 10X Leverage on financial debt. This has to be stopped. The root problem going back to 1912 has to be fixed.WWW.GrandfatherReport....
Richard Fuld, CEO of LEH, admitted to 30x leverage contributing to the problem.
Now I read on seekingalpha.com about FRE and FNM doing 100:01 leverage on their debt insurance.
Most investment banks were leveraged by a ratio of 30 to 1, and they were dealing with billions of dollars instead of thousands. Government sponsored mortgage giants Freddie (FRE) and Fannie were using leverage closer to 100 to 1, because of their supposedly stricter lending standards and implicit government backing.

How can "we the people" know the root cause is being "fixed" if we don't know about the root cause. Most of the news is telling us the root cause is a lack of confidence about all those mortgages being paid as agreed.
And are we sure we understand what happens when 100:01 leverage is applied after the fractional banking reserve requirement is applied? Maybe if this subject needs a spotlight to get people's attention. Then maybe the "lack of confidence" could be better understood.

BAC just cut their dividend in half ... better delete them from the list ReplyNine Months Later: Some Annual Predictions from the Financial Press [view article]
Please just remember that if you are going long that you are truly gambling if you don't have your exit strategy in place from the start. And make sure its adjusting to the market as it needs to. Don't rely on a lame trailing stop which is not at all reflective of that stock's behavior and market conditions. ReplyDividend Yields Soar [view article]

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. ReplyDividend Aristocrats Survived September [view article]
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. ReplyAnonymous

Great table David, thanks! ReplyDividend Aristocrats Survived September [view article]
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).

As we all know, real estate has its up and down cycles every so many years. That's RE101. Those who kept jumping into a down market were just numheads and shouldn't be rescued.Anyone notice that the 2 women senators (California) seem to have a monopoly for their jobs ? They don't do anything for the State and all they do is yell their heads off at the President of the United States, no respect to our system of elected officials even they themselves are
elected by the people. California, wake up, we need new clean people for the job before the State falls down more. And don't complain when more jobs are heading to other States or foreign countries. Just because you keep voting for the same old faces into office. Reply

Where is Louis Rukeyser when we need him!He always told the truth about the investment advice record of the big boys:
They are wrong more often than they are right, even in an up market. But that's a truth no one wants to hear. Reply

I like what you have to say, and am in full agreement. My thought on investing in SPY and QQQQ is to dollar cost average into these two ETF's. Over the years I feel I will make a better than average return. Reply
