At best Schumer should be censured for poor judgement and investigated for using his office and authority for potential abuse and maybe even outright monetary gain...

With that said...he had a responsibility to make the case for appropriate oversight...but he has been head of the committees and in the offices mentioned in the above article for what "two years"?

Draw your own conclusions from there as to who is doing their jobs...]]> Sun, 13 Jul 2008 12:11:26 -0400

The two points on Thorium...the plants can be be built in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost...And for the fearmongers the units can be built with a failstop similar to the freeze plugs in your car/truck engine that shuts down the reaction and stores the reactive material...no nuclear accidents that current nuclear technologies suffer from...]]> Sun, 18 May 2008 00:54:20 -0400

I read you here and on Minyanville...it is obvious that you are not on the Fed's and JPM's payroll to disseminate misinformation...lol..... others will read your insights and heed your advice...I am starting to wonder if only you and a handful of others have seen presentations like T2 partners...

The IMF is supposedly going to sell 400 tons of gold...do you think one or more of the members jumpbed the gun...and sold some to support the dollar for their own interests? In addition, do you think some of the banks, dealer/brokers sold off some of their holdings in ETF's and physical gold maybe even leased gold...lol

The BSC transaction will be tied up in lawsuits for the foreseeable future guaranteed...

CIT is failing...

And I agree all the rhetoric on reasons why the institutions went to the Fed Window is just that...they really needed the monies...

Also the Fed loosened up the criteria prior to this weeks auction...sounds like we have found a shortcut to the RTC ...just pick up the mortgages without all the red tape and middlemen...lol

Have a great evening...

Why would you invest in a sector that may be rallying on short covering? Or why would you invest to find a bottom when we are at least a year away from any type of recovery...CIT is failing as we speak...BSC's purchase will be mired in lawsuits for the foreseeable future...Earnings on banks will be lower for at least the next year...what is positive about this? or is it wishful thinking...I would imagine had Apple turned in a 42% loss and said it's earnings would be down 50% for the rest of the year...it wouldn't go up $20 rather it would tank to almost worthless...I think that the S&P is so heavily waited in financials that we see self-fulfilling prophecy in action...too many are wishing it would go up and others are artificially pushing it up...the deleveraging in commodities maybe the best sign we have of a move to bolster balance sheets...

But most of all I think the headline was misleading and could create misconception...yes when we are at a true bottom then bottom fishing will take guts...re run this article then...lol

Further the injection of liquidity has created a deflation of the dollar so from our perspective...prices are going up...a case could be made and has that the value of the dollar is sinking rapidly while other currencies are rising...so that has to be considered as while...the Euro which started out near parity with the dollar is now worth over .50 more and projected to reach 1.60 in the near future...even the Canadian dollar is worth more then the US dollar...

Most importantly the news from S&P that we are seeing the end of the subprime writedowns included "for 2007"...what most don't realize and they definitely took advantage of our naitivity is that the current mess only reflects the unwinding of loans made in 2005...the loosening criteria for loaning in 2006 and even some in 2007 mean that will will see even more writedowns for 2008 (for loans hitting reset from 2006) and 2009 (for loans hitting reset from 2007)...in other words this mess is just beginning and the FED has burned through a significant portion of their "Capital" to date...the trend in the stock market will down for the foreseeable future...I am using ultrashorts purchased on rallies and sold on dips to make money...seems to work like clockwork and acts as a great hedge maintaining my portfolio value on those stocks like S and AAPL I am long on...
