Just Say Whoa!

Is Lehman in the Midst of a Bear Stearns-like Meltdown?

But, I thought all the Wise Wall Street Conservatives said the market has "bottomed" and now is the time to buy!

3 words:

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Should Wall Street Have Saved Itself?

The Cato Institute firmly believes that it's OK to let the Wolf guard the Chicken coop.

Now, they blame the chickens!

Bear Stearns Launches First Ever Active ETF

"The prospectus gives the Active Mega-Cap manager wider discretion to implement a portfolio. The fund will be able to trade at any time and on any day, in contrast to the once-per-week trading of the other PowerShares funds."

Geniuses @ Work!!!

'Fedization': Bear's Rescue Presents a Major Moral Hazard

The Fed absorbing losses on the collateralized portfolio means...

TAXPAYERS will have to pay for the cleanup of the fraud, waste and abuse that comes from lack of "regulation" of financial industry practices.

Just like Taxpayers have paid around $125 billion to bail out Savings and Loans from 1986 to 1996.

Socialism for the Rich, Law of the Jungle for the Poor...that's the Republican way!

The Coming Crash of 2008: A Result of Overleveraging

Don't know if anyone here grew up on a farm, but...

...when hogs are led to be slaughtered, they have no idea what will happen in the future.

Apparently, neither does the typical American investor know how much the Geniuses on Wall Street have led them down the path to be sacrificed on the altar of the Golden Calf of Mammon.

It Wasn't a 'Bailout'

I agree with knzn.

The greatest single risk to the U.S. Treasury is the risk of declining tax revenues from a major economic downturn.

I wonder why we tax revenues are declining, if as GWB says, the economy is fundamentally strong?

Perhaps GWB's tax cuts are to blame for the declining tax revenues?

Ironic, don't ya think?
