Discover Financial: A Creditable Investment - Barron's

my only concern in your article was your comment that consumer spending might be recovering - if it is, it seems to be more of a debt add on right now than the processing of daily expenses via the convenience of cc use, and then paid off each month

i'm not sure adding to permanent growing debt will eventually help discover or the consumer, at least in a declining economy

we've used discover for both cc use, cd's, and money markets for many years, so this is not meant as a dig to them; strictly a comment re debt use at this time

thanks though, interesting article

i enjoy watching cramer at times, but...

re: "Cramer also noted strength in...diverse companies as...as further evidence that the market is beginning to turn. How’d they do it? Price increases....those price increases will stay put...." -

one question, how we gonna pay for all this with wages stagnant? :-)

Is a Ban on Short Financial ETFs on the Horizon?

long but great read, well worth while

re the inverse etf's, aren't they sorta the transparency type answer you'd suggested needed at the beginning of the article?

so my guess, especially since the tally of how many is clearly know, and commissions are even more easlily collected, they'll survive

at least i hope so :-)
