      No, the Financial Crisis Is Not Over
      And as they cut off at the end...

      "Ocourse, you could always stay away from the entire financial sector altogether. There are many great businesses out there that are undervalued. We highlight many of them in both our Investment Advisor Newsletter (freundinvesting.com/in...) and our Small Cap Momentum model portfolio (www.fiportfolios.com)....;

      In fact, our Model Portfolio is outperforming the S&P 500 by 15% in the two months since it's inception. Our Investment Advisor newsletter is also outperforming and boasts a 70% accuracy. Check em out.

      Countrywide CEO Finds Struggling Homeowners “Disgusting”
      Richard,

      SO WHAT?! Why does that matter? People need help! He's bashing a site that helps people get the help they need. If that's disgusting, I don't want to know what isn't disgusting to Mozilo. Actually, wait, I already know: ripping people off and cashing out before the fall.

      Richard Weed,

      You sir, are misinformed. The letter sent to Mozilo by Mr. Bailey was not simply a template. He let Countrywide know about his circumstances. Do a little more research before you spew misinformation. You think that every reporter got it wrong and you're right? hah! good one.

      Major, while I agree that people should understand the loans they take out, some people simply don't have the capacity to. When those people come in contact with someone pushing the liar loans, and they see their dream of owning a house becoming a reality, of course they'll jump at the chance.

      Yes, it takes two to tango, but potential homeowners didn't stand a chance when barraged with such "fantastic" loan terms. The lenders were in a position of power, both financially and intellectually, and they abused it. Plain and simple.

      exCFC emp,
      So what if they have the same wording? Many individuals who were caught in this scheme are probably not too smart, and need help drafting a letter that maximizes their potential for being helped. CFC specifically TOLD borrowers to talk to them. They didn't say "don't use a template!" And why would they?

      Bottom line, good people who didn't know what they were getting into need help, and Angelo, in his mansion, calls them disgusting. What a sad world we live in.

      If thats true, ktr, then he should lose his home. But Mozilo was attacking people trying to help homeowners. That's not something that I can forgive.

      Sell Into the Financials Rally - Morgan Stanley
      No, CNBC is the ultimate contrarian indicator. The Morgan Stanley analysts, along with Warren Buffett have this one right.

      In 5 years, bank and Ibank earnings will be nothing like their earnings up until mid 2007. If we look 5 years down the line, they might be slightly undervalued at todays levels, but 1 year down the line, they're overvalued. That's what Morgan Stanley is saying. I commend them for recognizing that the bottom has not been seen yet. Everyone else is just pumping.

      If you're honestly looking 5 years out, you are truly a wise investor. However, I think there are better plays out there for long-term investment. For example, agriculture, like ADM, and established biotechs like Genzyme, Novartis, etc...

      Financial Stocks: Where Will They Go Once Investors Sober Up?
      Financials are in for some trouble. This is a case of "blood in the streets", yes, but not enough blood has been spilled. Expect a 20% haircut on current bank valuations before I'm willing to get in.
