      heh...not so good, afterall. Oct 06 11:30 PM

      How did one county borrow more than the Budget of the entire state for ten years running? Surely you meant Billion not trillion. This is hardly a small mistake and kinda makes me not want to read the rest of the article even though you are probably dead on. Oct 02 03:02 PM

      Error? Dude, he got 10% pp. You find me somewhere to get 10% pp, and I will sign on the line all day long. Oct 02 02:50 PM
    • Real Estate Lending Growth, 2003-2008 [view article]
      Ishortyou, we've all read your pump 10 times by now.

      Interestingly to me, the chart shows that lending hasn't really dropped off, just stopped going up.       Oct 02 01:02 PM
    • IT Industry May Slump Until 2010 [view article]
      Gotta figure there will be a lot of used routers and servers hitting the streets for pretty cheap prices. Oct 01 03:49 PM

      Curbs - anyone that bought the junk got what they deserved. Buyer beware - I think that existed before the US ever came about.

      Yes, the end game is higher rates, but they will be higher everywhere, not just here.

      Kimberly, you can clarify all you want. But, why would I vote for someone that cannot put forth a clear agenda without external "interpretation?&...

      The guy won't even live to see the ramifications of 10% of his decision, and that is assuming he manages to live out a full term and not leave us stuck with the hillbilly soccermom he chose as a running mate.

      I was considering voting for him until he made that running mate choice. If that is the type of decision he makes under pressure, I think we all know who we should elect.       Sep 27 08:33 PM
    • McCain ETFs: What If the 'Maverick' Pulls It Off? [view article]
      Yes, let's all elect someone that is so old they won't have to live with the ramifications of their decisions. Sep 26 05:21 PM
    • When It Rains, It Pours [view article]
      dcx, your naive view of the markets is sadly probably above average for the citizens of the US. Which is exactly why we don't need to be listening to the public in times like this. This group of Republicans is simply being obstructionist in what amounts to the biggest game of chicken that has ever been played. You think banks failing is the fallout of inaction? That's like worrying about the dents on your car if you run over your kid. The banks are just the first casualty. You will get to see mortgage rates at values last seen in the 80's, many, many corporate defaults as they cannot refinance the debt they carry at 2% because rates are closer to 15%, millions of jobs lost, the dollar become the equivalent of the Kansas City Chiefs of the world's currency markets and your personal assets decline in value by anywhere from 20-40%.

      Please, keep your pedestrian, partisan crap in yoru head where it belongs.       Sep 26 09:33 AM
    • A Closer Look at Microsoft's Share Buyback, Dividend Increase Announcments [view article]
      Debt at 2% rates? Try the simple fact they lower their overall cost of capital. The cost of equity is easily assumable to be well in excess of 2% - the simple dividend alone is 2%. From a financial point of view, debt financing in this case is a no-brainer.

      If you don't think it is a good idea, you need to retake your intro to finance class.       Sep 24 10:44 PM
    • Goldman Sachs: Buffett's the Milkman and He Always Delivers [view article]
      What he got and what you own aren't even related.

      Given the cost of that capital, I would expect a serious decline in share price over time.       Sep 24 11:59 AM
    • NVDA: Still a Wait And See [view article]
      Heh, I think you are a good contrary indicator, Mr. Author. It is looking like you picked the lowest point of the year to say, "Not quite yet." Hey, if you like it, BUY IT. If you think it MIGHT go lower, step into it. If it does, great you like it even more. If it goes higher, well, at least you got some. Sep 22 10:36 PM
    • It's a Bull Market in Government Intervention [view article]
      Icandoiton - Banks won't have to raise their rates...the money markets will lower theirs. The difference was a risk premium. That risk is now gone...therefore, the premium will be gone as well. Sep 20 10:01 AM
    • Distinguishing Between Out of Favor Sectors and Doomed Ones [view article]
      Socialism cannot compete, dude you are an idiot. You think the market would be ok with 5 Trillion in debt being at Risk? The private markets aren't going to find a "better value" for that debt. They would mark it WAY down, even though most of it isn't at risk and will be paid off eventually. The market ALWAYS overreacts to the upside and the downside. Period. End of Story. The efficient markets theory was thrown out eons ago. Perhaps you had your business schooling in the 70s or something. Sep 10 03:58 PM
    • Peak Oil as a Direct Result of Misallocation of Funds [view article]
      Still think it isn't a bubble? Energy company stock prices are down to levels below where they were at the beginning of the year.

      Oil is on the way down further.

      The large recent runup had more to do with shorts getting squeezed (Google Semgroup) than it did with anything relating to fundamentals.

      Sure, the US Dollar is not gonna do well over the long term, we have too much debt, but this energy situation is NOT based on fundamentals it is about 60% speculation and 40% US dollar issues.

      HK and CHK "investors" are a lot poorer for all the hype.       Jul 24 12:05 PM
