The Myth of the Credit Market 'Push'
Wait till Macys Thanksgiving Parade and they trot out the balloon of all time--The Hedge Funds and Big Banks Leveraged Debt Derivatives Special--The bang from that Turkey will make this 700B pop look like a 1" firecracker against a 100's of Trillions$$ Hydrogen Bomb.
Just throw in the towel without all this fanfare---then execute the Bums.
To Avoid Failure, Get Really Big; Everybody Else, Watch Out
Sounds like W.C. Fields wisdom.
None the less In the Monarchy of Benny and Hank, there'll sure be a lot of Princes running around.
Raise Taxes!--HA--Get ready to scrap the 40hr work week and--Pony Up.
Is the System on the Verge of Collapse?
As long as there is reward in plundering the public and no cause and effect-penalty for misdeeds, we have spawned the seeds of our own demise----In ANY system.
Why Friday Came Early
I have TV dinners in my freezer, they have $75,000., Get the picture.
You'll see a lot of them in Vegas--they get free tickets & rooms cause those Casinos Comp --"Doing what you feel is right"---Wanna bridge???
Are the Credit Markets Still Healthy?
Business and industry need short term bridge loans --this is what the banks are REFUSING!!!--they will only make long term at higher rates which is strangling business. You've just skimmed the easy numbers.
Inadequate research yields useless info--or misleading at best.
A Better Bailout
And don't believe --Only the biggest crooks are capable of borrowing $$ from the Fed. and making short term loans to business and industry. They want to go on Strike and choke the economy with NO Credit--OK--let em go down let the AG go over them and license a new smaller bunch to handle Fed money. If Benny balks, we'll know he's in the Cabal.
Where's it say if a big bettor has a bad day with the ponies Govt. insures his bets or he closes the track???
The part of this plan no-one's seen is the sheet music for the Fat Lady to sing.
Renewable Energy Is On the Rise in U.S.
Buy Now--those glue on rubber shoe resoles-(remember them?).
The Best Alternative Energy Play
Buy Now--those glue on rubber shoe resoles-(remember them?).
Momma will cover a lot of ground this winter collecting wood for the fire!
Dollar Rally Could be Short Lived
The real Plan contains the words and music for "The Fat Lady" to sing!
Why Friday Came Early
I'll go the Reagan "Air Controller" route. Give the $$ to smaller Banks to loan to business to keep credit flowing. And throw the AG at those Big Crooks.
Where's it say, Govt. is the de-facto insurer of every big horse player that has a bad day or he'll close the track???
Paulson's Testimony: Is He For Real?
Somewhere I remembered a don't ask, don't wait, act now this deal won't last, you'll regret it if you delay, spiel just like the one Congress is now being pressured on.
Then it struck me--It was plagiarized from "Earl the Pearls" Finest used cars in Waco Texas, Lot where I was a young Cadet in 1956 looking at a 53 Ford Vic.
Gives me comfort that we're in such good hands!. A couple of lifetime Bankers selling a benefits package to a room full of dedicated Socialists. When they cut that cake the taxpayer will get to double dip--the crumbs and the bill.
The Fed: Independent Investment Banking Era Is Dead
Bankers--helping Bankers and the payment will be on a new bottom line of your 1040.
Senator Dodd Revamps Paulson’s Bailout Plan
When their stock hits 2cents the fund can buy them out, dumpsterize the CEO and the whole top gang and re-cycle the garbage into viable housing mortgages
And there's always the originators of these things to consider. No down payment--No job--No interest?? Sure stinks of conspiracy to defraud to me!! Maybe a lot of little area Banks can be "talked" into.co-operating in the recycle process.
What's that thief Dodd still doing on the scene??? He was caught on the take from Countrywide, plain and simple!!! Get rid of the corrupt Bum!!!
Interest in HDTV at Electronics Web Sites
Chuck notes reviews ease the ability of "ask the man who owns one" but I have noticed a person "burned" with a lemon or dissatisfied in any way is more prone to punch the brand in the eye on multiple sites than a satisfied customer to list approval rather than just use his time to sit back and enjoy.
Whither the Dollar? Currency Trends and ETFs
Between future and past my eyes are doing temporary duty on todays grocery bag.
They say I have to save my dollars at 11% interest for them to buy the same loaf of bread next year.
Is this math simple for you or do you believe the Govt's #'s at 4%??
If so, good luck to you and go back to the complicated mumbo-jumbo that leaves you thinking .5 basis points is too much to even consider.
I took out a dollar--all it would morph into was an airplane--that seems like a lot till you find out many times you have to throw it for 1 frequent flyer mile!!, Same with a $20,--strange??
