    Trust in Business Down in 13 of 15 Industries [view article]
    why anybody would trust anyone about anything is beyond me.the small-smaller print is king.all have an agenda meaning their hand in your pocket.weghts & measures are reduced as prices are increased.there is no confidence in the products sold to you.buy the warranty they say.(watch out for the small print on that paper).there is little or no accountability by the failures of our govt.the crooks & scammers get reelected even though they have a 9% approval rating.how is this possible?too late to fix.sad.

    Georealist, you totally missed the point. The author is referring to one in a hundred (and one in fifty) year events. That is, events of a given severity have a one percent (or two percent) chance of happening in the next year. More severe events happen less frequently ...get it?

    I think he means a "one in a hundred year" or "one in a fifty year" event... right? I don't think he means that the event will LAST 100 or 50 years... Reply

    The 100 year is a "depression"... think? If Japan had one of these 50 year whoppers then it must have started in 1958....Please, if your going to go hysteric on us at least get the math right. Typical Alpha garbage..... Reply

    Financials: How - And When - We Reached the Bottom [view article]
    On July 22, 2008, UYG closed at 22.60.

    On August 19, 2008, it closed at 19.23.

    With zero transaction or commission costs, that's a decline of 14.91 percent.

    Hey, maybe tomorrow will be a better day. Then again, maybe it won't.

    Bank Executive Compensation and the Bailout [view article]
    Nevermind the fact that this entire fiasco was orchestrated by the very people who will profit. They created it ( with fill knowledge of the consequences I might add), managed it, made bundles of cash, and then skipped out leaving the poor slobs with pensions and foreclosures holding the bag (as has become the norm for corporate America). Let's also not forget that our ever-faithful President changed the bankruptcy laws just in time to prevent anyone from weaseling out from under their bad loans. And by 'bad' I do mean rotten to the core... I happen to have been one of the drones helping to crank out the loan documents and became sufficiently disgusted to resign long ago. I said it would happen and it did, but you'd have thought I was crazy to hear me relay this to my colleagues back in '04. They certainly thought so. Reply

    The Dollar Rally Ends [view article]
    There was bound to be a correction after 10 days of consistent uptrend but I feel it will rise soon as the fundamentals are strongly in favor. Reply

    How can you possibly argue with the authority so evident in the precision of the data and cogent analysis of this article? It's scarcely necessary to check the market. Reply

    I disagree with you but thats what makes a market. The dollar is over bought and the commodities are over sold. However I expect the gold and commodity rallies to be weak. People never believe a turn in the market is real. After 8 years the gold, commodities and the dollar have turned and a lot of money will be lost by the deniers. Reply

    Big Changes at PrivateBancorp: One Bank Stock Worth a Look [view article]
    It seems everyone assumes that if a bldg. has a teller window they will be insolvent in 90-180 days, not true. Yes, some will be and some should already should have been, but if able to do some digging it is possible to find bank stocks that not only will survive but will do wonderfully, beside PVTB, which I don't own, I bought EWBC, FED, CFP, CNB, NBG and HOME all on July 18-20 and have done amazingly well, and I didn't buy to trade, I bought and will continue to buy for 18 months from now, be patient and do the work.
