      Real Estate Lending Growth, 2003-2008
      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.

      IT Industry May Slump Until 2010
      Gotta figure there will be a lot of used routers and servers hitting the streets for pretty cheap prices.

      Speculating on the Future
      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.

      Time Not for a Bailout, But for Nationalization
      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.

      Yes, let's all elect someone that is so old they won't have to live with the ramifications of their decisions.

      When It Rains, It Pours
      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.

      A Closer Look at Microsoft's Share Buyback, Dividend Increase Announcments
      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.

      Goldman Sachs: Buffett's the Milkman and He Always Delivers
      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.

      NVDA: Still a Wait And See
      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.

      It's a Bull Market in Government Intervention
      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.

      Distinguishing Between Out of Favor Sectors and Doomed Ones
      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.

      Peak Oil as a Direct Result of Misallocation of Funds
      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.

      Scott Burns Thinks You're Saving Too Much for Retirement
      I know some $100k households that max their IRA and their 401ks, plus work for a company with a pension plan. It'll be nice to be financial set for life when they retire, but they might look back and think it mightve been nicer to not be living in a 2200 sq ft house driving a 10 yr old car for the majority of their lives.
