      Big Oil Once Again Abused by Congress
      Congress vs Big Oil, "As Seen on TV" is the equivalent of a professional wrestling match. Very entertaining.

      Ganesh should indicate this was a paid political announcement funded by Capital One... a small detail. Sure got your attention didn't Andy?

      Barney Frank's 'Subprime Relief Plan' May Make a Bad Situation Worse
      The real problem here it is unlikely the appraisal will be as high as $270,000 particularly in the late stages of the process when appraisals got pumped to produce more fee income. California is a particular problem where anecdotal evidence suggests 20%+ losses in certain markets.

      The Week Ahead: Downside Risk Waning?
      If you believe hope is a strategy then the market will go up by 15%. The Treasury/Paulson=hope. The FED/Bernanke=hope. George W Iraq War=hope.
      If you believe there is illusion, delusion and conflict of interest the market will go down as some "skeptic" brings truth to the light of day. How can Lehman, Hovnanian and other suspects go up with little prospect for earnings? How does GE the "bellweather"... go down on a slight "dissapointment&q... (March blindside on the GE credit side, eh?). WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RECEIPTS TO THE TREASURY GO DOWN AND THE DEFICIT GROWS? Will all of this good news mean a DOW at 16000? How much more debt can we handle and sell to the unsuspecting "investors"?

      $5 Billion Expected in Radio Merger Synergies - Bear Stearns
      Where's the beef? $5B synergy is a Dillusional headline. Just wait as repo's go up on car loans and fewer new cars are sold and that spells trouble for continuing monthly fees. People will find out even at $12 per month they don't need satellite radio after their free 1 yr subscription runs out with the new car loan.

      Rumor has it that a male kangaroo bought a tuba on Ebay with the Providian Credit Card. Says he won't pay a nickel until he learns to play the thing.

      How Now, Charles Dow?
      The Dow Theory probably works well with normal tides. If you place a stick in the sand during nor'easter you may not find the stick. Then there are rip tides and tsunami's. The question becomes what kind of tide are we in?

      Big Brother Monitors Investment Activity
      If the Fed truly becomes a watchdog then if the Big Boys are paying attention to the watchdog Can we conclude that risk needs to be decreased? Then the E of P/E is like to be e as in P/e. Smaller!

      Backroom Bear Stearns Deal Exposed
      The moral hazard of the FED's action was substantially less than the economic hazard. It was a case of a bad choice or worse choice. I applaud Bernanke for making a fast decision. How many decisions come out of Washington that are either fast reasonable or efficient? Left to Congress this would likely drag out for many months. $29B is going to look like chump change when measured against the loss of tax revenue from this whole mess.

      A Bright Spot in Today's Bad News
      This type of commentary from PHD economists will soon put the profession of economics at a rating below lawyers and congressman. What make matters worse is the charts are generated from data that is probably "suspect" by people who sit behind a computer and avoid contact with the real world. Then this good news is delivered by a guy like George W and Larry Kudlow. Oh how the lambs are going to be sheered.

      Calls For A Market Ready to "Rocket Higher"
      I am convinced the guy is a bear if he thinks only 16000 on the Dow. Why not 25000? and P/E's of 30+ if only the FED buys all of the "paper" and leverage goes to 60. Doesn't GOOG @ $1000 sound nice too?

      Upside to Falling Prices: Housing Affordabilty Index Reaches 4-Year High
      Mark: Shame on you.
      Let's see the detail on how NAR comes to the conclusion that $59,967 allows the purchase of a $193,900 home.
      1. Where does the $38.7K cash down come from? Mom & Dad? A lottery ticket? Pawn shop loan?
      2.What are the assumptions on closing costs?
      3. What is the real finance rate?
      4. What is the debt/income ratio?

      Please provide these devilish details and allow us to laugh at the "real estate boom" we're in. Finally what % of mortgages today are approved with the top line assumption of $60K buys $194K.
