      The Reagan Counterrevolution
      Schiff's annalysis amazes me. If Reagan succeeded in releasing pent up economic forces the Bush administration removed the dam by removing the regulations which assure financial transparancey. The flood of greed has destoried the economy. Now the people Obama brings all have a history of financial success in dealing with financial crisis. Schiff's annaysis is short on reality.

      So Much for the Bailout
      The reaction of the market is great as it confirms the depth of he problem and that government is only part of solution. Bumpy ride ahead yes, and that leads to great opportunity. Buy and hold many good stocks. Manage the process by selling into the up days and continue to buy on the down swing. Three years from now you will be up 30%.

      Bailout: Reaching a Deal
      To small. To late. Not Creative. Ignores the real need, regulation. Puts off collapse for the moment. May provide an opportunity to sell into the market.

      The Deal's Getting Done, But Will It Work?
      If the idea of ten banks with 70B and leverage authority of 10 to 1 is a tongue in cheek it is creative and simple. Simple to operate and manage. To simple for this administration and congress.

      I'm Speechless: Palin on the Bailout
      Palin is correct. It is all about health care. If we had universal health care the auto companies would be saving 9.5B yearly in cost. There would be no need for the 25B bailout in the budget now for the auto companies. Maybe Palin should talk to John McCain and the repulican party for she sees clearly now. Is it possible she is listening to Hillary>

      Krugman's Capital Injection Scheme: Nice Idea, Won't Fix Problem
      While I am a great believer in Buffett I like Krugman's idea. One fact without regulation neither Buffett or Krugman positions offer success. Capital emerges when safety (i.e. regulation) is transparent. I do not see real capital or liquidity being offered by the bailout. I do see the rewarding of greed.

      What Should a Banking Crisis Bill Really Look Like?
      A well thought out position. What is missing is the need to have much tighter regulations and oversight of banking and finance. Housing is not the problem, but greed and munipulation are. Here is were governmental attention needs focus. If we bail out greed we learn nothing. Would I feel differently if the government were bail me out, but since that will not happen and I have taken my losses, lesson learned.

      The Short Sell Ban: Are Markets Now Less Efficient and More Risky?
      Short selling adds to market efficiency and the elimination of the practice increases the inefficiency of the market. Improve the regulation of short selling and the market benefits. The risk in the market has been compounded. How do you measure value moment by moment in the market without the presence of the opposition?

      Jim Rogers Doesn't Like the Paulson Plan
      Jim Rogers has impressed me for more then twenty years. I find myself agreeing with him now. This bailout will do to the dollar exactly the reverse of what many believe. If the bailout goes forward in present form and it will we will see a weak dollar for the next ten years.

      The Bailout to End All Bailouts
      It is my opinion if regulation had not been removed there would be no need to bail out anyone. Now that we are, let's tax personal income over one million at 95%, limit options to 2% of salary and tax income of all CEO's, COO's,CFO's etc. seeking bail outs retroactively at 95%. Maybe to big to fail is big enough to pay.

      Who Had Superior Economic Performance - the Democrats or the Republicans?
      Most interesting. In a society where double speak is seen as the truth this is a great article. Of course, flip flopping party labels denies the reality of leadership which seeks to address and solve problems and leadership which is driven by ideology.

      Friday's Employment Report: A Sobering Dose of Reality
      Increasing unemployment compounds the slumping housing market which in turn will drive the unemployment figures higher. What is clear is that the present policies have failured and it is time for the framers of these policies to go. The election is all about the economy and those who offer more of the same are not the solution. Crookedwood

      Why Core Inflation?
      Yes, refined data is vital to continued good decision making. Inflation as measured by the common man occurs in the store, at the gas pump and when paying for drugs and the electric bill. It tells him the economic policy of this government has failed him and the future is not only bleak, but filled with danger. For the common man core inflation is not a joke it reminds him of an ineffective government and economic policy.

      Grading Paulson and Bernanke
      The failure goes far beyond the management of Bernanke and Paulson. The efforts of the congress and executive leadership has for years focused on elimination of the regulatory process. We have an economic system that is in free fall which will only be brought back into balance with serious regulation.

      Retirements on Hold
      Simple basic analysis and data providing insightful understanding of how important it is to manage retirement funds. Yes, borrowing curtails growth, but failure of adequate governmental regulation stacks the deck against the common man managing his retirement money. Present government policy and regulation has created a casino.
