The politicians in DC piled on the auto execs for having the gull to ask for funds. But AIG, 180 Billion and there’s not even a (public) discussion?

What gives? Oh yes, the government; IF you’re the right industry.

We had no idea how far down the market would go.

We came back to Northern Michigan (Traverse City area) and just bought an upscale forclosed house for 1/4 the price we sold our "average" (1800 sqr ft) California house. I doubt the market will ever come back to the levels it was, and I honestly hope it never does.

A house should be a home, not an investment.

A lot of people were hurt in the US housing market, a few of us made out ok (but we had to sell when everyone thought we were crazy).]]> Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:05:07 -0400

He may be crazy like a fox, but there's been a lot of EGOcentric CEO's who were born on 3rd base and thought they hit a home run. I think this guy could sink DRYS even if they earned %1300 more than the last year. Just wait until he encounters a real challenge.

There are better stocks out there lead by stable, level-headed professional managers. DRYS doesn’t seem to be one of them.

DRYS is not an investment, it’s a speculation that the guy in charge isn’t going to do something irrational (like gouge profits to his own consulting company).
