      Your article gave more information on GE than almost all financial papers combined.

      How Will Banks Spend Their Bailout Money?
      Congress has opened a Pandora's box and now has no idea how to close it.

      The automotive companies were second in line for a handout and now cities and their lobbyists are descending on Washington with hat in hand.

      Did any of these companies try to re-negotiate contracts and reduce long company paid vacations and high hourly salaries? Surely these workers would rather lose a little that would save their jobs. GM, Ford, and Chrysler will be right back with these same problems unless they can learn to build better cars at less cost. A bailout may be the answer for maybe a year and by then the above companies will be back wanting another bailout.

      Combining the Pickens Plan and an Auto Bailout
      I agree with the comments Mmarrkk made. Some of those production line workers are doing repetative motions that a trained monkey could do, yet they get upwards of $20 a hour for it. Let the production line workers take a small hourly cut in wages and benefits to save their high paid jobs. Why ask me to pay higher taxes to save their jobs when it was they who have priced themselves out of the market. When negotiating they could also eliminate those high bonuses of those in administration.

      M&A: Creating Even More 'Too Big to Fail' Firms?
      The politicians have opened a Pandora's box and now no one knows how to close it. When is a company too big to fail or conversely what standard is to be used to make the distinction? When will big labor and greedy CEOs be asked to cut back some in an effort to save the corporation? If GM or Ford could build a quality car, with less cost, how soon would the foreign competition fall. Do you suppose we have priced ourselves out of business.

      Early Stimulus Wears Off
      Government canot solve the problems caused by the unions and their high demands. People working at GM, Ford, etc. etc. could solve the problem overnight by renegotiation of contracts with cooperation from the executives with their excessive pay and bonuses. Bailouts are going to cost me more in taxes, thus I will have to pay for problems I did not create. Unless contracts are renogiated the auto companies will be back to the government trough in a year or two. People will not buy a high priced car when a better quality product is available with a more competitive price.

      Detroit is Hemorrhaging
      Years ago I predicted the production lines in America would slowly fall apart if the industries kept giving in to the high demands of the UAW. The UAW demanded extra high hourly wages for production line workers who were doing jobs that a trained monkey could do. Instead of bailouts why not insist that greedy CEOs give up those high bonuses and that the UAW lower their demands. If the hourly wages had not been pushed so high a bailout would never have been necessary. Our auto industry would be humming and Nissan and Toyota would have to fight for sales of their products if the CEOs and hourly workers would each give in a little.

      Cramer's Mad Money: Verizon's Ivan the Terrific (11/7/08)
      Some years ago when unions were demanding and getting higher and higher wages and, auto companies in particular, were wiling to go along because the average buyer of auutos was willing to pay higher and higher prices for less than top quality products, I predicted Toyota, Volkswagen, and Nissan were getting ready to take their lost business, no one wanted to listen. Now has it ever occured to politicians to ask the workers to take a token reduction in their high salaries in a move to save their jobs? Yes, the greedy CEO's should also take a cut. This would do more good than all the tax-payer bailouts would ever do. Let's take a look at the pay of production line workers for example who are being paid very high salaries to do work that requires little or no skill. A trained monkey could do some of those jobs that are now paying hourly wages of $20 or more an hour.

      Timing the Market Ahead of Elections
      Frankly I have to wonder what Obama knows about economics. How can Obama gut the military as long as this war drags on? Will he pull the thousands of troops scattered around the world home? Will the military lobbyists let him pull the rug from under their enormouse golden goose that lays golden eggs in profits? To carry out his promises Obama will have to slice your pie too.

      Long Ideas for This Volatile Market
      I find this article covers stocks for traders, but nothing for us who are more intrerested in more well known companies. Why did you not list Pfizer drugs, or at least a short comment on US Bancorp?

      To get farther out you could have mentioned some gold stocks or fertilizer stocks.

      Asset Allocation: The Only Game in Town
      This article merely emphasizes what every financial advisor and most mutual funds emphasize. I agree with the premise, but it is not anything new for long term most investors.
