Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

I'll tell you, this whole.... I don't even know what to call it anymore, but I really can't see myself buying ANY financial and especially not Freddie and Fannie after seeing what this pack of thugs is capable of. This administration has created a whole new industry I believe, for treating shell shocked investors!

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

The one thing Obama promised that he has unquestionably kept his word on is change and change we will, weather the people like it or not. There have been countless demonstrations of outrage regarding issues this President has created and if they have one thing in common it is that he doesn't care what the people think any longer, he has convinced himself he knows best even as he makes a fool of himself touring Europe he conveys he is much wiser than any other leaders with decades of experience. I believe he also has addressed the issue of reelection into account as well and has assured reelection regardless of votes as demonstrated in many other Countries where the incumbent wins regardless of the voter outcome which is masterfully manipulated to the point no one could challenge anything let alone attempt to prove anything starting with his falsifying his natural birth records and guaranteeing the Supreme Court never addresses it. The entire political system, the voting system, and even the notion or threat of losing reelection or calling your Representative to complain has become history, again, weather you like it or not, he said, "there WILL be change and change has come. If you think it sounds like science fiction or any other kind of fiction you want to label it I will not argue with you, I cannot believe the change I see on a daily basis myself and just for the record, no, I don't like it, I don't like it one bit.

Stewart vs. Cramer: A Cheap Shot

Ok, I will admit to using CNBC as another free resource to filter though as well however when I saw Mr. Thrill up and down my leg being seriously interviewed the other day on CNBC it did cause me to take a brief pause and evaluate weather or not I wanted to continue using CNBC as a resource. So I thought about it after briefly switching to Fox Business Channel and realizing, hey, it's just another free resource and I need as many resources as I can get these day's I ended up back on CNBC eventually. I guess we all have our motivations.

Stewart vs. Cramer: A Cheap Shot

Exactly, you must do your homework and as much as I enjoyed Cramer, at least most of the time, he was never and should never be anyone's sole resource, which is just what I viewed his show as, one resource of as many as I could get without spending a fortune in an attempt to try to make as an informed decision as possible if and when I decide to use any part of those resources be it to add value to a portfolio or gain a small piece of personal investing wisdom from many of those who have a great deal more experience than I have.

Stewart vs. Cramer: A Cheap Shot

Well I will say this, if there is one thing I have learned and have to accept unfortunately is the fact that the craft Journalism once was and the principals it once held uncompromisingly high above anything has tragically died. Values, principals, beliefs, politicians ... I'm 51 years old, I guess that's pretty old because I don't recognize any of them anymore. Eh, it's not the correct forum for this, just the same, that's too bad.

Stewart vs. Cramer: A Cheap Shot

The attack on Jim Cramer was absolutely atrocious and he did not deserve it at all. I also feel the attack was shared and contributed by Bill Orielly who basically dragged Jim's good name through the mud a few days earlier. Personally I have to hand it to Cramer for having the guts to go on television show discussing the market at all the way it has behaved for the past recent Weeks and Months but I do believe he genuinely did and does so because he honestly is concerned about the average investor. Of course no one is right 100% of the time however in his defense there is a plain to see disclaimer given every single time the man opens his mouth about anything because he does have a fairly significant following and you don't get a following like that by being wrong all the time. As far as the silliness of the show, frankly I'm grateful to Jim and his producers for it, especially today when it's so stressful to even think of going near the financial news lately, we all can use some lightening up and I believe his silly ways were an actually health benefit for many people in today's times. John Stewart had no business doing what he did to Cramer as if he doesn't care for the show he doesn't have to watch it, he could care less about what Jim says and his motives were an attempt to protect a lame brain and crew who doesn't have a clue. Both Stewart and Orielly ought to be ashamed of them self and I hope Cramer sues them for every dime he can, he is absolutely entitled to it after such an unwarranted, unwanted, unasked for attack.

Thank you rcomment .... I think, as I sit here watching a discussion on CNBC about the real possibility of the Dow going to zero. Try to have a good weekend all.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Considering the state of our economy and the constant attention it's deterioration seems to be getting from the adimistration I'm wondering if such a scenerio might be a possibility It seems that everything is collapsing all around us. I was thinking
about AIG and couldn't help wondering; in your opinion, do you think
it's possible that , gezz I can't believe I'm even thinking such a
question but, if the insurance companies collapse can life insurance
policies collapse with them? They aren't even FDIC insured. What a
chilling thought. Do you believe it's a remotest possibility?

I don't know what or who to believe anymore, but assuming any numbers even have any significance left, can the Dow really go lower, is there actually a bottom or is that just a made up term in an attempt to comfort others, can it go to zero, can it go below zero?
