    If TARP states the money can not be used for acquisitions and can only be used for lending as Barney Frank stated Friday, I don't see how there will be regulatory approval on the PNC -Nat City deal. That's probably why you haven't heard of any other deals. National City can stand alone and save thousands of jobs. TARP was passed to help National City. Blah, blah, blah. . .

    Call Latourette, Barney Frank, Sen Shumer and your local house and senate representatives and demand National Citys share of TARP. Blah, blah, blah. . .

    **********************...

    YEA, Barney Frank, there’s a pillar of credibility and knowledge. I think he is one of the miscreants that got us into this mess. Yea, call Barney, call bleeding-heart Shumer, see what those two nincompoops can do for you.

    Sorry about the National City stocks you bought on the “recommendation” of 10 or so nitwits.

    Your data is informative and interesting; very well done. However, your charts are so full of your logos and self promotion that they are nearly impossible to read. The last two charts with line graphs use similar colors and pencil thin lines. Increase the color contrast and line size. Also, please stop twisting them sideways, it doesn't change the outcome, it just makes it harder to read, once again.

  • Ten Comments on Housing [View article]

    While I am not agreeing or disagreeing with most of your comments, I would ask you this; would you call it unlikely and a bad investment for somebody on the Eastern seaboard of America to have purchased real estate (second home or rental property) in Hawaii 5 or 10 years ago; we are 6 timezones away? I would neither call that possibility unlikely or imprudent. Also, food in Hawaii is not nearly as good as food in New York City, Washington DC, or Miami Florida.
