The entirety of the investment world has been exposed as possibly fraudelent, properly or not. This man was the insiders' inside man, the Chairman of the board. Yet in end, he is nothing but a cheap and clever crook. Hollow and worthless is Mr Madoff, a poster child for all the false promises made to us by the financial industry. We are the inventor and the product of the greed and deception of our own national promise.]]> Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:12:38 -0500

Think of a different analogy. Something without a non recourse end. A bear market can die, but the stocks exchange stays open. The cancer victim succumbs, that's all she wrote.

Anyone can say they predicted xyz. Did he capitalize on it? And If he did, he would be enjoying the fruits of his speculation, not blowing hot air on SA.

See ya Todd, wouldn't want to be ya.

PS. Here's a tip. Food Stamps can get 80 cents on the dollar on the black market]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:44:50 -0500

Perhaps having the investment bankers, bond dealers, and mortgage brokers cleaning our houses (instead of cleaning them out) might promote a sober mindedness among the next generation of financial engineers]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:25:06 -0400

VESTING OF SHARES.—If, after the pur
chase of troubled assets from a financial institution,
the amount the Secretary receives in disposing of
such assets is less than the amount that the Sec retary paid for such assets, the contingent shares re-
ceived by the Secretary under paragraph (1) shall
automatically vest to the Secretary on behalf of the
United States Treasury in an amount equal to
(A) 125 percent of the dollar amount of
the difference between the amount that the Sec11
retary paid for the troubled assets and the disposition price of such assets; divided by (B) the amount of the average share price of the financial institution from which such assets were purchased during the business
14 days prior to the date of such purchase.

In other words, equity participation is security for purchase of the troubled asset, and only kicks in if the asset produces a loss for the Treasury. Why would that
deter participation? A seller receives capital and reduces
overhang on it's balance sheet. Right now, banks are
scrambling to raise capital through the sale of equity, preferred shares, warrants, without disposing of the toxic paper.

The banks don't have to participate. They can take or leave the deal. The screwed themselves. Why screw the taxpayers while unscrewing the banks?]]> Sat, 27 Sep 2008 13:36:21 -0400 by the following formula:

1) Obama is not a Marxist, has never espoused Marxism, there is no indication at all that he subscribes to Marxist theory, so the first commentator is wrong. 2) classic Marxian ideology calls for a dictatorship of the proletariat by a ruling party, so the second commentator is wrong.

This is the old scare tactic, speak in apocalyptic terms but yield no specifics.

Ruggiero runs a private equity firm specializing in the raising of capital. I was thinking of commissioning a boat, but now I think I need an ark. Do you think he can help me get financing and investors interested in a nice ark?
Ruggiero's alleged profession is the raising of capital, which is money based.]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2007 21:04:35 -0500
