Rescuing the U.S. Dollar [view article]
" 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

Rescuing the U.S. Dollar [view article]
"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

Rescuing the U.S. Dollar [view article]
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.

Good summary of the banking crisis in Europe. So how are you playing this? Short the Euro and Pound? Long GLD? ReplyVanderstelt

Thanks for helping jimmy understand the obvious. I fail to see how he interpreted year-over-year price comparisons as an apples to oranges comparison. It simply reflects the reality of a over extended system. ReplyThe Rules of the Game Have Changed [view article]
jimmy, how do you know only cheaper houses are selling? ahhh, because HALF ARE FORECLOSURES and we know they're concentrated in the lower end (aka subprime) market.I'd call that cold comfort indeed. Reply

Instead of funding the losses of incompetent or corrupt bankers why not let them go bankrupt? Creditor financial firms of a bankrupt financial firm would get repaid of what would be left after non-financial creditors have been repaid. Financial firms should know better than others where to put their funds. In the event non-financial creditors are not repaid for their full deposits after using all available guaranties, a federal fund would finance the difference through a long term loan. Surviving financial firms would also get help from this fund. The obese US financial system would be at long last trimmed to service, not itself, but the producers and the consumers. /Show more...

It is obvious to most that when you arteries are clogged, the blood doesn't flow. When you have blocked arteries it is an emergency, and to avoid a heart attack it is critical to get the blood flowing, which implies the use of a stent or open heart surgery. A complete blockage will result in a heart attack or worse. Time is critical, and the required correction is an emergency.Analogous to your vascular system, the financial markets are the arteries of the economy. Analogous to your arteries, when the financial markets are frozen, the monetary supply does not flow. This creates an emergency situation where it is imperative that we restore the monetary flow.
In today's environment it is critical that we on an emergency basis thaw the financial markets thereby enabling the required monetary flow. There is not a lot of time to react. Waiting too long will create a severe recession or a depression.

There are three thousand community banks that are capital starved or near capital starved.When Wall Street absorbs the $700 billion, Main Street banks will pay dearly to maintain their capital ratios.
It makes more sense to distribute the $700 billion to American community banks so they can lend for local transactions or the local banks can use it to recapitalize Wall Street. Reply

George Bush has fooled the Democrats once before and that got us into a needless war, which I call BLACK HOLE NO. !. Now he is at it again and the Democrats are caving in again. How stupid can they be? BLACK HOLE NO. 2 will be bigger and move the country into a depression. No matter what congress does the market is headed for a 40% dip, but not right away. However, the US dollar will weaken and gold will rise as they did when the bailout was announced. ReplyInsight

Good article.I agree with what Hedge fund operator, Eric D. Hovde has said. Wall stret and the banks responsible for this mess should not be bailed out. Secretary Paulson has some serious conficlt of interest here between bailing out his wall street buddies and the best interest of the tax payers. Reply
