    Bobl, What talent are you talking about? They are why we are in this mess, no?
    As far as going somewhere else the gov. has shut down 100 smaller banks. That means there are many executives looking for a job which means reduced salaries.=, no?

  • SEC's Recent Tough Act Can't Hide Fact It's Still Lame  [View article]
    Your comment about the SEC being a dues collection agency is right on. Reminds me of my union, the I.A.M., I called them a dues collection agency also.

    Regulation does not work. Why? Because enforcement does not enforcement. Very simple.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    When BAC bought Merill months ago I thought they said then that he was forced to buy it? Did I read it wrong? Did I misinterpret it wrong?

    If a coupon was given to every taxpayer for $20,000 to purchase a car, when the coupon is redeemed the government pays the auto companies the $20,000 everyone wins. NO?

  • Perhaps Congress Bears As Much Blame for This Mess As Wall Street  [View article]
    I thought we had regulators for the industry? Where were they when we were giving homes away with no money down? Aren't they suppose to ring the bell?
    We had to give our poor and down troden minorities homes. Don't worry how they will pay for it. We have American taxpayers for that. Take it from the rich and average income taxpayers & give it to the poor & illegals. Subsidise their new life styles. This is America.
    Of course congress was to blame!! Their greed in lobbyist monies set the stage.

    Todd....
    The letter means nothing. Many times the employees of TWA fell on the sword due to Carl Icahn and other CEO types. It is just the way it is.
