    European Banks To Consider - Barron's [view article]
    Of the banks listed here, I think that HSBC and perhaps Barclays are good buys right now and aren't "as rotten as America's". HSBC, I think is in strong shape. In contrast, RBS paid far too much for ABN Amro, and is in poor shape. I don't care how cheap it gets, I'd stay away. Reply

    European Banks To Consider - Barron's [view article]
    Europeans banks are as rotten as America's, even more so, with AIG insuring many of them. The irony is that Barrons' perpetually bearish, is going to lead its readers to lose money in a bear market if they follow this foolish advice and buy Euro banks! Reply

    Fortis Fails: Who's Next? [view article]
    I am not a paid "scaremonger"... and object to any comments suggesting that.

    All I'm trying to show is that leverage is high in European banks - this isn't intrinsically bad, but is worth noting... Now, the assets being leveraged absolutely matter, but the idea that a bank won't have problems because it has been around forever is not logical - see also: Barings, mid-1700s to 1995.     Reply

    Appropriation bills start in the House; not in the Senate. The House has already voted on a bailout of hedge funds/Wall st. Why should the House consider constructing a new bailout bill? Credit tightness is handled by central banks; not by bailouts. Why wouldn't hedge funds unload toxic high risk debt to other firms, and then to the U.S. tax payer? National debt is at $15 trillion currently and dollar is at -30% compared to all other major currencies. So a we pay a 30% premium on oil. Let the markets mark to market to give a current value to any underlying actual assets. Also the House doesn't take orders from the Senate. The House has already voted and done it's work; House adjoined. Reply

    IOHO a paid " Scare Monger" and "Sensationalist&q... ?
    Lloyds bank has been around for over 250 years and has steered clear of the sub-prime mess.
    The amalgamation with HBOS is a no cash stock deal.
    Actually" Fortis" completely over extended itself on the NV Ambro purchase and lost their posterior.
    Understand Leverage, is a normal part of Bank investing and
    is well regulated.
    Wonder how much this guy got paid for this article.?     Reply

    sierrarommero,

    You are right it is a manipulated market and those part of Paulsons cabal will get rich while the rest of us go hungry. Nancy Pelosi and her corrupt friends are being bought off cheap in this too. At least in a South American banana republic you know who the crooks are.     Reply

    Anybody try to by some silver lately? You have to buy it at several dollars above spot price if the dealers can get it at all. [physical possesion of it] Yet the spot price is going down,the producers stock prices are going down and the market as a whole makes no sense. It is being manipulated by someone or something. Why is the federal reserve making JPM rich at the expense of others. The federal reserve needs to be abolished! Our country needs a free market system instead of the government, the federal reserve and the big money people manipulating at their given whim to dictate who makes money and who loses money in this rigged market.

    The real price tag on Bailout 2.0 is now approaching $900 B, assuming
    FDIC doesn't actually have to pay out on those $250 K deposits!
    Coupled with the rumored interest rate cut, I see us turning Japanese
    and everything won't be all right.     Reply

    The real question IMO is why gold isn't surging given the global nature of this crises. Reply

    Mazel Tov Eli! Did you have a good new year?

    User273569 you have to realize that this is not just a US crisis going on. This is a global issue. You have Europe in a ression with high inflation. Many other countries had significat amounts of money invested in the US and the losses they have faced continues to put pressure on their currency as well. Additionally there are many speculators in FOREX.     Reply

    Well Manistee, world currencies aren't doing so great either. The Euro is in trouble.... The real question is why gold isn't exploding to the upside. Reply
