    Just remember - when investing, ALWAYS have your Protective Exit Strategy in place form the start. One that will ALWAYS be adjusting itself to the stock's behavior and voerall market conditions. One that is smart! Reply

    I can't believe all of this nonsense over AIG. IS EVERYONE STUPID! Obama made damaging reckless comments and didn't even look into the issue. The conference was set a year in advance and paid for by the marketing budget of the insurance companies which can not be tapped to pay back the loan from the FED and the FED loan money is not going into the insurance companies budget at all! Plus, the FED now owns AIG, even after AIG pays back the 100 plus billion dollar loan, the FED owns them. Why are we mad about a conference where 100 of their biggest clients were wined and dined by a 10 AIG employees that was paid for by the insurance companies? That is standard practice. The insurance company has a billion dollar marketing budget and needs now more than ever to keep their huge clients. The better AIG does the better tax payers will be when the FED sells the 79 percent interest later. Piling on against AIG is actually against every taxpayers best interest. We want them to thrive not go bankrupt you IDIOTS!     Reply

    MetLife: No Longer Bankruptcy Candidate Material [view article]
    The post was a couple of days ago for my site's research subscribers. SA's post was this morning, not mine. I do not post directly to SA, it is an aggregation service. My content will probably lag at least a day or two if viewed here.

    MET has had extreme price movement, but we shoot for home runs over at BoomBustBlog, ex. Bear Stearns, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Lehman, GGP, Countrywide, WaMu, etc. We are looking for potential bankruptcies and fraud to short. Met would have been a strong short two weeks ago, but I was late to the party and there are plenty weaker companies to go after at this point.

    I invite you over to the blog to peruse the track record and methodology. I am sure you will be impressed.     Reply

    This is a fascinating time. You get ranting pupulism, political finger pointing, and even some religion. jlounsbury makes more sense than anybody. One of the best data points in Eli's summary is that consumer debt fell $7.9 billion in August- the largest decline since they started keeping statistics in 1943. The good point is that the government didn't have to tell anybody to do this. Reply

    10x10 - Golden Calf Builders - It's so compulucated - We just knew how to steal.

    10x10 Stockes - Evey Law of the God's Covenant was broken - Just like the Golden Calf Builders of Before.

    The Old Man suffers long with his People - But he does not hold his wrate forever.

    To Complicated for you - But not for Him.

    I was buying preferreds aggressively today. There are companies that will endure this phase of the market and have solid operations and balance sheets. a YTW in excess of 8% in tax advantaged yield is something I can't say no to. I am a CDN investor though, no sure of the taxation of prefs for US citizens Reply

    I paid 25% down on my house and bought within my means.

    I pay my mortgage and my bills and save what I can. Who's going to "rescue" me from the bailout?

    Do not believe for one second that this is caused by the evil sub-prime borrower. There is a root cause for all of this and it is DEREGULATION, which like it or not is a Republican mantra. There is however, enough blame to go around.

    The thing they are just now starting to talk about that has the Big Boyz soiling themselves are "Derivatives.&quo... These are "complex financial instruments" created out of smoke and mirrors by WALL STREET.

    You need to know these things. Derivatives have ZERO underlying assets. They have a notional "value" of tens of TRILLIONS or HUNDREDS of trillions of dollars. Nobody knows for sure because they were completly UNREGULATED and they are opaque as MUD.

    It wasn't the collapse of the Securities backed by sub prime mortgages (bad as that was) that brought down Banks and AIG, it was the failure by said intitutions to reserve enough capital to pay off if these "side bets" went bad. Nobody knows how much or who holds the liability but ALL the financial institutions, some insurance companies, and most all the hedge funds have a MOUNTAIN of this toxic garbage swept under the rug. That is the "counterparty risk" everyone keeps yacking about.

    THIS is what has banks hoarding cash and eying each other with distrust.

    Even if you take the lowest estimate of 50 trillion (or 50 thousand billion) you can see that the "bailout" of $700 billion is like trying to bail out the ocean with a soup spoon.

    If you take the higher estimates of hundreds of trillions, you are talking about more than the entire annual GDP of the entire freaking planet!

    Lest you think I exagerate, look at Iceland. Ponder on the fact that some nations in Europe have guaranteed all deposits in their banks, to the tune of 3 times their annual GDP.

    Either we let the institutions and the investors who took the risks fail and go bankrupt or we bankrupt the whole planet.

    For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
