The Coming Crash of 2008: A Result of Overleveraging

This Fed is very concerned and involved. Getting down the national debt and invigorating domestic manufacturing is working so far; when we are out of this sub-prime mess, they will probably attack the price of commodities and allow the dollar to strengthen some. Further down the line, we could expect much more regulation but at the same time, more innovation or more involvement by regulators in assisting with innovation which will put the U.S. back on the edge of the financial game.

Are These "Once In A Lifetime" Moves?

Anyone with internet access now can trade stocks and have their trades executed within 5 seconds, it's no wonder we are seeing the moves we are in stocks. Investors no longer want to wait for six months while an analysts predictions kick-in; they would rather have it kick-in in 6 days, an hour becomes a minute, a day an hour, a month a day, a year a month, a decade a year. Just like global warming, everything is moving much faster these days.

Just look how fast the Chinese move! They were in the 16th century less then 50 years ago, now they are in the 21st and rapidly moving ahead of the developed world. There are some really motivated people who have emerged in the world and dust doesn't seem to be settling under their feet.

Death of the mutual fund? ;)

JPMorgan and the Bogus Bear Stearns Deal

A crook's philosophy - deregulation, smaller government.

Bear Stearns Gets Emergency Funding From NY Fed, JP Morgan

The fed should be pumping that money into the economy using a little more thought then this. Just giving away taxpayer dollars without and constructive thought seems to be the motto of this so called "conservative" administration. Do you realize how much money is being flushed down the toilet by these bumbling fools? Just look back at hurricane Katrina, if they can't handle that, you think they can handle this??? We are doomed until they are gone, simple as that.

U.S. Mortgaging Its Future for Sovereign Fund Investments

Pray for a Romney nomination. McCain & Clinton = same same The U.S. has been run by a puppet government for the past 8 years, it's not wonder we have to now sell ourselves to Arabs and Chinese. I don't think it's that big of a deal either way. These Sovereign funds are simply making kind gestures in our time of need, they have an interest in keeping the U.S. consumer buying their oil and junk. If it weren't for gullible American voters electing a phony cowboy to office, we wouldn't be buying Arab oil and Chinese junk. Just think, we were asked to go shopping after 9/11 ! Washington D.C. needs to be turned upside down and shaken out.

Vote Romney for a lean, mean American machine! Romney '08 !
