      How To Solve the Housing Crisis Tomorrow
      Philip Davis - Obviously not everyone here agrees with the notion that wiping out another $5Trillion in home values will wreck the economy for years to come. It would hurt speculators and people who used their home as ATMs, home builders and plenty of other companies that contributed to the mess in the first place.

      You could also argue that without wiping out another $5Trillion in home values would help as many people as it would hurt. I know I'm sitting on a pile of cash that is earmarked for a 20% down on a highly inflated house in the neighborhood I live in. If prices home values dropped another 20%, that may unlock a flood of savings money into the housing market and into the rest of the economy.

      mbyington - Bravo!

      Same situation here, frankly I'm hoping there is way more carnage in the residential markets. Saving 20% for a home in a nice SoCal neighborhood near the beach, even with 200k+ joint income is almost impossible with 2 kids.

      Is Visa Really Priceless?
      Take your name calling back to the boiler room and remember, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."

      For whats its worth, I appreciate articles like this one that give me fuel to think about vs. all the screaming bulls hyping this thing. I missed the run on MA and regret it because I thought it was a great story, just never had the chance to pick some up. UBS just raised their price target on MA so there is a lot of excitement with these two credit card stocks....reading articles like this one allow me to keep my emotions in check.

      I'll respond yet again to someone who wants VISA to go up so bad, that he made his name "BuyV". You wrote in your 1st response:

      "Yet another uninformed observation on the world's largest credit card processing company. I am so sick of the ridiculous slams on Visa coming from this site. The only reason I am even commenting is due to the misinformation being generated here.

      FYI: ANYONE can 'publish' a comment. Unfortunately, this opens up the field to people like the author of this article who have little credibility in my eyes. I work on Wall Street (physically- not figuratively)- and have 22 years under my belt. I have owned to brokerage firms- and can tell you that Visa is one of the best stocks to become available to investors in the last five years. "


      Well, you certainly have it right that "anyone" can make comments here. So far in those two paragraphs you have attacked the author of this article twice, making inflammatory statements like "ridiculous slams". You use inflammatory statements like "this site making ridiculous slams", when its clear that almost all the "ridiculous slams" are coming from commentors, much like yourself.

      You also go on to tout your credibility because you work on Wall Street while at the same time knocking the authors. Others here work on Wall Street and know that someone who needs to blow their own horn and only pitches the positive aspects of anything, without also stating negatives, lack credibility.

      You than ramble on about all the reasons why V is the greatest thing in the world and insist several times that everyone here is ill informed, while at the same time harping on the S-1 information that you have clearly tried to convince people is X, when its clearly Y. You cut and paste the text from the S-1 as if it supports you argument that somehow the number of shares outstanding is not what it shows at 808 million, but something less, despite being proven wrong by most quoting services.

      You probably do work in a Wall Street Boiler room, but that doesn't mean the readers here believe your hype. We are looking for balanced discussions on this stock, of which we certainly are not hearing from you.

      V is a compelling investment opportunity. The readers here want to hear both the reasons why they should buy and the reasons why we should take another look before we spend our hard earned dollars.

      Ok, lets check out Google. On their quote for V, you'll notice they show V with a market cap of 53 billion and a stock price of 65. What is 53 billion divided by 65 BigV?

      BuyV

      I realize you are long shares of V and want it to go up, but if you'll notice, I did link the S-1 in my post and it clearly shows the number of shares outstanding. If you check your quote machine, it should show the market at about 50-54 billion, depending on how fast it updates. If you can do math, it confirms the 808 million shares outstanding number.

      When I said this place is boiler roomish, it because of people like you who act as if they are correcting inaccurate data, yet selectively lie to distort peoples opinions in your favor.

      I may at some point buy some shares of V, but not until I've gathered a lot of real world information on the company, very little of which is being given here.

      808 million shares outstanding.

      The amount of stock promoting going on in here is comical. It's like an online boiler room.

      Treasury has not solved anything, only treated symptoms.
      I'm loving this rebound because I'm 100% long all the time, but not convinced we're out of the woods yet.

      Barron's Misses the Other Side of the Commodities Story
      I think its common knowledge that Barron's has a tough time presenting all sides to an arguement. They are compensated for eyeballs on their stories, not balance, so they write in a way to gather eyeballs.
