Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets, More [view article]
I don't think that is the case, since probably the entire congress needs to be examined over their lack of oversight before the "crisis". It always amazes me how these people can get to congress but now we can evaluate whether these men and women can really lead. Hopefully, this lesson will not be lost within 2 weeks by the media.I'm against the bailout as well, and I hold stocks also. I think a correction is more beneficial to the global economy than the bailout. Corrections are needed to right inflated prices. Besides, the consolidation of banks probably mean that the good banks probably did enough homework to avoid going out of business anyway, so why do we need a 700 billion blank check now? Fishy right?

Nancy hurt my feelings so I'm going to let 2$ trillion go up in smoke???????? Maybe we need more mature congressmen? ReplyTuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets, More [view article]
Sorry MKW, I'm with Dave. We are getting noting but crises sound bites; remember Y2k, and Iraq/WMD. I thought the financial world would come to an end Monday or no later than Tuesday if the bail out wasn't passed. Looks kind of like it did last week and its Tuesday. Oh, now we have until Thursday or Friday. If the financial system is frozen, it may well be because they want to see how much free taxpayer money that can get before they make any decision on how to fix the problem themselves. AND, MKW, many years of experience in the corporate world has shown me that when somebody tries to intimidate me into doing something that I would rather not, its because their motives are suspicious/disingenuou... and they don't want you to know the details/facts! Thank you Nancy, you are such a wonderful leader. ReplyTuesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets, More [view article]
I'm sorry, Pelosi's speech was inappropriate, but any Republican congresspeople who decided to change their vote (and in the process risk setting dynamite at the foundation of the economy) due to it need to be demoted to something more appropriate to their judgment and maturity level. Junior High School comes to mind. ReplyVolatility

After seeing the movie IOUSA, and doing some government debt analysis, something has to give here, and I sure hope the foreign countries that own 50% of our debt will keep us around if the consumer/business slows, and remember we are a huge net importer of goods which is why we're being financed right?? www.distressedvolatili...

Well, it's mute now. The bail out, er, I mean buy in plan failed. We're in uncharted waters. We've been there before. There's rocks on the shore.If there were some way to let the banks fail and survive, I would vote for that. It was credit that got us in trouble. Remember the plethora of credit cards we all got in the mail?
It seems kind of strange congress and Paulson wanted to give the banks our money so they could in turn lend it back to us so we can get deeper into debt...keeping the debt economy flowing.
Why don't we just give each American half a million dollars and let them pay off their homes? Let the money trickle up for a change. There's an email going around to that effect and it's beginning to make sense.
As for what it means for the dollar? Your guess is as good as any. But we need to take it in context. Europe is in trouble, too. So, let's see what happens to the troubled euro and pound.
But, yes, the massive derivative market has inflated the dollar beyond Fed control. Reply

"The US financial rescue will also calm the world’s financial markets and rescue the dollar"How will it rescue the dollar exactly? It's going to be a bit of a balancing act between saving our economy and inflating the hell out of the currency, isn't it? Reply

You cannot tax people without jobs. If you try, you will have revolution, riots, and a burning white house.Hyperinflation is what is left.

The US should begin issuing debt free currency, and buy the banks that cannot survive without a cash injection.This includes the owners of the shares of the Federal Reserve System. Reply

" As this crisis is one of bank confidence, the Federal rescue with its real relief for bank balance sheets, should succeed in restoring over time a functioning US market, if not in returning unbounded confidence. Banks will lend to each other and the normal round of electronic credit will gradually resume" -and the magic fairy will spread love all over the world and there will be peace- while Santa gives everyone money to buy new cars from GM and pay off their mortgages they cant afford and everbody will hold hands and sing "kumbaya " at the close of the bell on wall street in a month when the dow reaches a new high of 20,000-dose of reality 700 billion doesnt begin to touch the problem and once again the Fed and Paulson have underestimated the "housing problem" as they like to call it -this bailout may not even buy time at this point Reply

"If investors begin to consider the unthinkable for US debt, then no amount of US economic growth will suffice to support the US dollar. If the world’s investors begin to reconsider US credit, this current crisis will have been like the earthquake that produces a tsunami five thousand miles away."Bingo. And look to see government collect aggressively from taxpayers over the next two years as foreigners stop subsidizing the debt. Main street was thrown to the wolves over four years ago. It's now going to be picked apart. There are consequences for this sort of behavior to a citizenship, but for now those in charge feel they have passed the baton to the next government who will receive the lion's share of blame. I am happy that database technology exists to remember the largest proliferators of this giant scam on it's own people, ever conducted in history. Reply

The unthinkable didn't happen! The unthinking happened. Anyone who didn't understand that the credit/derivative bubble wasn't going to blow up must have been a Harvard or Wharton prof.The world has been living in a dreamland by spending future earning and now that future is upon on us and there are no earnings. Unfortunately, the power structure of the world was living in this denial and the media bowed down to them as they don't employ anyone with objective, realistic business or financial experience.
We are waking up from the dream and it is on our watch. No political poll is valid as they represent the dreamers. We had a dream and it turned into a nightmare.
Some want to distribute the wealth but will end up distributing pain.

European Finance Now Under Attack [view article]
Good summary of the banking crisis in Europe. So how are you playing this? Short the Euro and Pound? Long GLD? ReplyBespoke's International Equity Snapshot (9/10/08) [view article]
It would be very interesting if Bespoke would show us where this leaves us today. Please give us an update of P/E multiples relative to GNP growth rates of the various countries. Reply
