      Short Squeeze Triggers Sharp Volatility in Stocks
      I've been preaching holding cash but if you still have stock I think its now too late to sell and just hang in there. There could still be pain but I believe the worst is over believe it or not..MarvinMBA

      Another Unthinkable Market Event
      Closing the market will just create more apprehension.
      There is nothing to do but let the market clear even if we have
      to take another dive. I suppose its too late to say that this administrationshould have seen this coming a few years age but its too late to cry now.
      The best thing that the Fed could do is to guarantee all loans that
      meet minimal requirements so that the banks can get the economy going again. Increasing the banks equity thru cash purchases of new stock direct from the bank is only the start. Loan guarantees are also needed...Are you fed brains listening???

      Caught in a Liquidity Trap
      Given the disruptions of the normal markets and the impossiblility of plugging each hole in the dike, I would say we are on our way to a serious depression. We will have to implode and start all over again is my take on this sorry saga. The hands of the next administration is going to be tied into a knot that will take years to untie. The way this bubble is being handled is sinful IMHO,,,MarvinMBA

      The Beginning of the Endgame for Monetary Policy, Redux
      Actually we have a lot of wealth in this country and I suggest that we are not as bad off as everyone thinks....the Real Estate that is being trashed has essential equity value...its just that the funding of the RE bubble is gradually disappearing because of a temporary evaluation...which is what you expect in a recession/depression. Believe it or not, your dollar can buy more real estate and energy/commodities than just a short time ago. It just means that you have to have dollars to do this. Money that is disposable and invested in paper assets can evaporate and it will as you can see. In my opinion excessive dollars will be cleared from the market to reflect the underlying asset valuation and thats exactly what is happening. If you have cash your buying power is increasing every day which is better than investing where it can be creamed off...MarvinMBA

      TARP for CP
      I think this is the right thing to do at this moment in time...I suppose you could make a case for any Fed intervention but thats what they are in business for...stability in the market place and its the way our system is suppose to respond in an emergency situation....sooner or later things will open up as long as the pumping continues some water will trickle down to where it is needed to feed the plants and here we are....good luck in this crazy market....I suppose anyone into todays stock maket will new purchases will be ok in the future is my take on this whole drama....MarvinMBA

      Why You Should Keep an Eye on the Credit Markets
      Sooner or later the markets will loosen...its going to happen because if the Fed keeps pumping some has to fall into the hands of the consumer sooner or later...water does trickle down...MarvinMBA

      Bank of America's Acquisitions: What Was Ken Lewis Thinking?
      Actually I believe in the long run things will work our for B of A. If you think B or A made the acquisition decisions you are wrong wrong wrong. The B of A is rational but its the Fed behind the door dictating the merger policy to save the banking/financial/mort... system in the country. I'm positive that the Fed has guarantees in place for B of A or these deals would have never been done. The Fed/USA will never let B of A go down the tubes because that would the end of the USA as we know it......believe it or not....MarvinMBA

      Time To Go Long, For A Short Time?
      I suppose there is something to a dead cat bounce and the market might pop short term. But in my opinion interest rates are low enough and dropping them further will not solve the problem...the problem is fundamental in nature and cannot be solved without job generation and significantly lower energy costs. M1 has to start moving positively and what you should ask for is a bounce for M1 instead of the stock market.

      Illiquid Assets, Liquid Liabilities - Why Were We Playing Near the Cliff?
      Deleverage will be forced upon the entity when borrowing is no longer possible and will take place as a natural even as credit becomes tighter.
      Of course its great to have big bucks in the bank as a backstop but how do you get from a highly leveraged position to highly capitalized??? The overall market is in disarray with business way off and layoffs on the rise...survival is the most important objective of management or a planned bankruptcy that will leave the owners some goodies to take home as they go into forced retirement or job seeking.

      Inflate, Deflate or Default
      There is very little to comment about except the excellent history of our market and economy over the past few years from an expert that worked the street. Thanks for putting things in perspective...my only comment is act like your grandparents...keep your CASH close. It might be a great investment as RE and other things become cheaper and you are actually buying more with your bucks...better than losing in the Stock makes a Mark investment...MarvinMBA

      Bond Expert: Wednesday Wrap
      Even though I fell that the bailout will do nothing after looking at the latest revisions to the bill now on its way to the house, I'm convinced it will even be harmfull both near term and long term as everybody that will receive anything from this bailout will take their money and EXIT...next comes the DEPRESSION believe it or not...MKarvinMBA

      The Market Cannot Fix the Financial Crisis By Itself
      Throwiing more money at a failed system will make things worst. There will be a new system of mortgage generation/funding that will not depend on a bailout. Save the taxpayer money and get M1 going again by providing cheap energy and tax reductions.
