Banks: Doing Deals At Any Price? [view article]
let's see if I've got this right??: In order to remove liability for bad debt, you finance it's sale with more debt, that carries with it the insurance that your buyer/borrower can lay the debt right back on you if it proves worse than forecast.And for this you forgo any possible upside to the original debt evaluation, and assume additional risk from the new borrower/old debt holder. All to merely move the original debt from your books.
And these people --wonder-- why they're in trouble--giving mortgages to people without jobs, or buying same from others who did!!
Well if Big Ben and the American taxpayer's got your back!!--Why not!! Reply

Yes but... Crammer said the market has bottomed, Kudlow says we have a "Goldilocks" economy and Maria Bartiromo always manages to interview bullish portfolio managers who's livelihoods depend on a healthy market. What more do need to convince you that all is well?[ED: edited for abusive language] Reply

Florida, Michigan,, California are already in a depression. My latest blog post has a few articles detailing the South Florida Depression. It is getting bad. www.miamicondoforum.co... ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
There is nothing out there to support the proposition that inflation is subsiding or under control, and everything to assure the opposite. The current strengthening of the dollar is clearly a blip that will quickly fade away. Wish it were otherwise, but wishing won't make it so. ReplyWall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [view article]
re NBC's viewership, 2 billion was tossed around (presumably for the world); still, 34+ million seems such a modest figure. ReplyDon't Just Do Something, Stand There [view article]
To the commenter who writes "Neocon Libertarian ..." - where can I learn more about these people? And perhaps about the Lutheran Pope and the honest politicians as well.As for whether there's anything worse than the fiat money and central banking system, you're right; there is. Take the same system and add the death penalty for anyone bartering or possessing in quantities beyond their immediate needs gold, silver, food, oil, or anything else that could possibly function as a store of value. That would be worse. No need to tell your central banker friends, though; I'm sure they've got such a law drafted and ready to go and are just waiting for the right crisi-tunity to stuff it down our throats. Reply

Kunst - - -I agree with your good observation on the purchasing value of the dollar. A week ago I published an article in SA which showed the decline in the inflation adjusted price of industrial commodities over the past 60 years. The article discussed the prospects for a commodity bubble and whether the long term price decline for commodities could be ending. Reply

tim price: "The US Dollar lost 98% of its real purchasing power during the last century."This really is a bit specious. It may take $50 today to purchase what $1 bought in 1908 (e.g., bread or gold), but incomes have effectively increased by a greater factor. Certainly the quality and quantity of what is available to purchase and the overall standard of living today are much higher than 100 years ago.
Saying the purchasing power of the US dollar has dropped 98% is far different than saying the purchasing power of US citizens has dropped 98%, or at all.

I live in Southern New Hampshire. A very strong market in an area called the "Gold Coast" duye to the high number of fairly well-off people. The R.E. Mkt here is broken: near desperation! I doubt it will recover for years. I get a lot of requests for loans. Most people are clearly delusional to the extreme! There will be a lot more blood on Main Street and SWall Street before we finally muddle out of this mess! Todd ReplyDon't Just Do Something, Stand There [view article]
