    I don't understand what Bush did? Was he the one in charge of banking regulation? Did he force you to take out an ARM mortgage? Washe in charge of the SEC?
    You gotta put up some facts.     Reply

    Too bad the Democrats spent all their time beating up on George Bush instead of Legislating and they now expect to be the party of choice for America. Think again. Reply

    If 95% of the people will get a tax reduction under B.O.; how does the math work for the 40% of people who pay no taxes at all? I guess there is 135% taxpayers? Reply

    Nice partisan try, willking. Probably a good reason for SA comments to stay away from party stuff. This is a bipartisan reaming of the investor.
    As you may know and ignore, the biggest obstacle to auditing and oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac was the Democrat powerful in Congress controlling the committees- Barney Frank ,Chris Dodd and others. They fought any attempts in the past to scrutinize these failed institutions.

    And as you choose to ignore, Fanny Mae was a major contributor to Obama. Obama is just another articulate and attractive face on the old Chicago political machine. To expect him to "lead us into prosperity and allow the nation to shine again" ranks right along with Oprah's coronation of Barry as the "chosen one".

    Failing societies always look for a Messiah, and we have descended to that level.

    Let's get back pertinent investor comments. The election will happen,one way or another.     Reply

    You guys amaze me!
    You love the creative markets and the profits that are made, until excessive greed takes it over the edge, then you cry "socialism" and ask who was regulating the market.
    The sub-prime mortgage meltdown was due to a Ponzi scheme of totally bad mortgages written by banks and lending companies and passed along as investment bundles paying extraordinary returns.
    Greed exceeded caution and prudent risk taking..
    When times are good, you yell "Leave the markets alone!." When it goes through tough corrections, you cry "Why didn't you stop me?"

    If you need to look for guilty party (s) here are my candidates:
    1. Chris Dodd or is it "Dudd" and Barney Frankes are the arhitects of mortgage disaster should imo join the architect of Enron debacle;
    2. George "no veto" Bush who betrayed his constituency and didn't learn much from his personal experience of S&L meltdown.

    At least the Exxon skipper was drunk....     Reply

    Let's all be honest. The present financial fiasco is the fault of Mr. Alan REDspan whose job it was to control such excesses. Now he's going around the country saying "no-one could have foreseen this problem"
    Hogwash ! For a true explanation please see the article by Mike Stathis on Seeking Alpha Sept. 11th entitled "Greenspan Get Lost". By his actions, Mr. Redspan has cost American Taxpayers up to 10 trillion dollars. In addition, world bankers will now be far more reluctant to trust U. S. paper in the future.     Reply

    I agree with just about everything said so far, with that counterproductive must mark to market when there is no market being what really pushed this mess over the edge. Greed is good. It's what makes the system work. Government is there to see that fraud is not resorted to, otherwise needs to stay out as much as possible. Reply

    Eddie64: greed is a problem only to the extent the financial structure and the productive structure allow government largesse instead of markets to make all economic decisions. When politicians see how they can provide constituencies (such as subprime markets) as promises to get elected, then we always have moral hazard. The problem is not primarily greed, but socialism. Think GSEs like Fannie and Freddie and government policy to support and encourage sub-prime lending. Reply

    If you're looking for a job, I think the best place to work nowadays is for head hunters. This is bad, but at least Lehman didn't get bailed out by the Fed... Reply

    Ditto Eddie64, you hit the nail on the head. I just wish I would have been smart enough to go to cash when the market was at 14000...lol
    But doesn't everyone.
    The collapse of all these financials is creating major buying opportunities like we haven't seen in years. They are having to liquidate equities with no market price buyers.     Reply

    I agree with User 26737. King George III has done a job on us for eight long years. Everything he has touched has turned to nothingness or worse. Hopefully, Obama will surround himself with brainy and competent people who can extract us from the messes the King has saddled us with and lead us into prosperity and allow the nation to shine again. The damage done is so extensive that It will take a lot of doing. Reply

    all our representatives ,republicans and democrats,are to blame. They seem to be interested in protecting the big institutions only at the expense of the small investors and the taxpayers. That s what we call capitalism at its best ,rich get richer and poor get poorer. We must all pay for the fat cats greed and poor decisions .The stock options are the source of all this mess, get rid of it ,today,period. Reply
