    You had my attention until you decided to turn this into an internet advertisement of your newsletter.

    I think that Seeking Alpha should send you a bill.     Reply

    they are not rewarding poor judgement, they are profiting off of offering loans to struggling companies. This is not a gift from the feds, they are actually going to make a profit. Reply

    Global Market Roundup: Will the Bailout Work? [view article]
    The rescue package will take time to work its magic. And while people watch for indicators of success from implementaion of the rescue package, there is a possibility that better opportunities might emerge. This is time when perceived risks are higher than real risks. In the short term, corporations may well find earnings potential fall below long term earnings potential; and this might cause better entry points. However several economic risks are already priced in. This is a market for long term investors (5/6 years). Sector allocation is important, overweight positions need to determined based on which sectors will benefit most during the next cyclical upswing; also to consider is over-weighting the presently undervalued sectors; and finally consider the sectors which outprform based on where we are in the economic cycle today. Investors should also not forget to rebalance portfolios more frequently than in normal times. Finally, do not forget diversification across asset classes. Its a good market for traders too; volatility is high which is good for day traders. Positional traders can also look forward to an up quarter followed by a re-test of lows. This is one of those times when there is opportunity for everyone, regardless of style - short term/long term/trader/bull/bear. The only styles I would say might feel a bit left out is growth; because I think this is a time value will outperform and off course, small caps should lag large caps. Reply

    Excellent review! The Doom & Gloom scenario seems almost universal - indicating that perhaps the worst has already been discounted. But "hold on" for more volatily until the dust settles and investors begin looking past the devastation to the inevitable economic and market recovery. Reply

    What the Sectors Are Telling Us [view article]
    I think he was referring to (corporate) bond prices falling, which is probably a flight to safety (treasuries), which drives down the price of money for government, at the exact time they pass $700 bailout. Good timing. Reply

    I'm a bit confused (well, a bit more than normal anyhow). If bond prices are falling then bond yields must be rising. How do rising yields translate into fear of deflation? Isn't it more likely a fear of economic weakness hand in glove with inflation (the proverbial stagflation scenario)? Reply

    GM Exchange Traded Unsecured Notes $XGM, $GMS, $HGM Being Dumped, If there is bankruptcy risk, why isn't common being trashed? Are they dumping to realize losses and load up on the common, or are they running away from the unsecured debt because they're now probably behind the gov guaranteed debt. wtf specific write up tinyurl.com/4wx8sh Reply

    It is very hard to get people to buy from the Big Three once they have lost
    confidence with the US quality.
    Our vehicles are about as good as anyones they are made by Americans living the American life.
    We also spend $ in the US.
    The US auto companys may have invented the middle class.

    Tuesday Outlook: Bailout Brouhaha [view article]
    So much depends on the "package"!

    They have it all wrong.

    Freeze interest resets from Jan 2008 for 3 years.

    To heck with lenders making more money!

    Got to stop foreclosures NOW!

    Government cannot manage vacant houses!

    The "package stinks" and I don't trust Paulson since he was part of the reason we are here with the stupid Fannie-Freddie Fraud beginning in 1995.

    All the top democrats, Dodd, Oboman, Frank are at the root of the problem along with Franklin Rains!

    How can we trust any of these LIARS?     Reply

    Just got this message when I tried to contact my US Representative

    "Messaging Service Unavailable
    The House of Representatives is currently experiencing an extraordinarily high amount of email traffic. The Write Your Representative function is therefore intermittantly available. While we realize communicating to your Members of Congress is critical, we suggest attempting to do so at a later time, when demand is not so high. System engineers are working to resolve this issue and we appreciate your patience."

    AND, you want these guys to manage $700B with no strings attached (you really want to know where the &700B went, sorry due to ext ordinary demand, we stopped keeping records) and after that, run your health care (sorry, that life saving operation is temporarily unavailable) plus any other socialized program they can think of? Heaven help us if they succeed!!
    You think its just an isolated government bungle? Try buying gold coins from the US mint; sorry, we ran out.

    So many people are confused on this auto loan package...This isn't a bailout for the automakers, this 25 billion pkg was approved last year under energy bill that was passed by congress. This legislation wasn't just approved, it was funded. If the govt comes out tomorrow and says that (pick any industry that is struggling now) it is mandating certain mpg requirements a few years from now that will cost these companies billions of dollars...the govt has no choice but to provide loans to make this happen, otherwise the companies simply will not be able to meet these requirements and more jobs will be cut. This wasn't a bailout, it was a promised loan that was part of the agreement between the auto industry and the govt last year to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Isnt this what we want? Everyone keeps complaining about fuel prices...but these same people dont understand the fundamentals behind getting us there. Reply

    As if we needed any further proof that our elected officials (both parties) work directly against the best interests of the American people at large, here is more proof --- a bailout of an industry that has steadfastly refused to address it's number one failing for decades: it makes mediocre quality, inefficient cars that fewer & fewer people want to buy. So what do we do? Hold them accountable? Nah, let's give them $25B in taxpayer $$ so they can continue down the path of self-destruction. Mark my words, the mild constrainst congress put into this bill will soon quietly disappear, and we'll end up with the bill. Reply

    My first car- 93 Pontiac Grand prix...I put 210k on it before selling it to a high school kid. Since then I had a 97 Buick Park Ave Ultra...put 180k on it. I now have Pontiac G8 and Cadillac DTS...both spectacular cars at reasonable price compared to all other competition. In the 90's some of the quality for GM products had room for improvement...but in todays market there simply is no gap between foreign cars vs GM in relation to quality. Dont take my word for it, take a look at JD power etc and they will tell you this fact. In the 90's these types of comments had some truth, and since then GM has made great strides to bring the quality up inside and out of every single GM vehicle. Only thing i can think of when people post comments negative towards GM today, is they are jealous that their neighbor has that brand new Malibu or Cadillac...while they still have their boring camry / prius.
