      Traders Using Financial Turmoil to Manipulate Stocks
      Shorting BSC is not the issue. JPM getting a look at BSC books supposedly to buy their clearence business and then choaking off funding to BSC through their access to the Fed/Capitol. Finally spreading false rumors to the hedge funds that had shorted BSC getting them to pull their money in unison from BSC and causing a run and liquidity drain. That's collusion and thats what the toothless SEC is investigating. Look at the reversal of Lehman when they strengthened their balance sheet and the shorts had to cover and sent Lehamn up $18 now thats a lot of shorting. China dosent allow shorting and here we shouldent allow it to by done by any company or hedge that does business with them and could also adversly affect the outcome by choaking them off from credit, pulling their funds or having insider priviledged information.

      Investor Sentiment and Market Returns: Now's the Time to Be Bold
      My feeling is the market still havs another leg down before it bottoms. I'm bullish on some china stocks WATG, CAAS betting on the eventual production of low priced small cc autos and YGE a good Solar play all three are industrial with real profits and excellant growth and should hold up well in a sagging economy. The others mentioned in an earlier post are all attractively priced but I'm not fimiliar enough to want to own them.

      With the shifting of wealth to the middle east. Loss of spending power to the middle class and failure of this administartion to protect this economy my expectations are low. We face a retiring baby boom generation high living/energy costs and non-self correcting markets. Your model goes back to 87 not much of a history. I'll invest defensively if at all and live to invest another day.

      If you listen to knowledgeable economists (not talking head pundants) the fundimental problems we face are unusually challenging. These problems banking, energy, national debt are severe enough to require Goverment actions not seen since the great depression (the markets are no longer self correcting). Looking forward the retiring baby boom generation and exit of wealth to the middle east will put added stess on our monitary system and stock markets. The past eight years of inflation and record deficits have left us I'll prepared to defend this economy. The middle class the economic back bone of the country has been nuetered by the loss of spending power through lost real wages, soaring living costs and record personal debt. It gives me no confidence that this admiistration has a list of failures that have occured on their watch. I'll stay liquid and invest defensively. I'd rather miss 10% upside than incure the possible downside.

      Bear Stearns Shareholders Sacrificed for the Economy
      It comes back to the arguments MORAL HAZARD VS GREATER GOOD theory. Case one: Better to have the Fed action than to loose the economy. We see all people through the fed taking action for all people to be rewardwd/protected ie the economy. Case two: Not so in Bear the greater good is being applied but Bear is forced to take the greater pain. The ability to access the discount window was offered to other investment banks like GS but only after the deal was struck. If this same openig had been made only hours earlier Bear would not have gone down and the shareholders pension etc whould not be carrieing the burden pain for the greater good.

      The Bear Necessities: Law of the Jungle Rules
      Now word is now out that JP Morgan put a bear squeeze on Bear Stern. Not enuf to get the assets on the cheap lets steal them instead. Can't imagine where the liquidity rumors were comming from and they've (Morgan) allready told the clients to hold pat since the'll soon be running the show. Sound like Bear has every reason to hold out go bankrupt and reconsolidate then go after Morgan for yelling fire in a crowded theater. Thanks Jamie

      The Bear Necessities: Law of the Jungle Rules
      The Fed is opening the door to accepting this morgage debt and for an eventual extension of Fanny and Freddie. Why was bear down to $26 then up to $30 on late day buying before close of business 3/14 and why was every share figuratively traded. If there worthless they should have gone to 10$ and stayed there. They'll be worth alot more when the debt is made tradeable. Lets start the bidding @ $50.
      Secondly inflation and devalueing the dollar reduces the foreign debt and payments to SS . George Bust said he was gona fix SS, well be getting pennies on the dollar at retirement. Two ways to skin a cat. Lastly all the big industrial multy nationals are on sale and are continueing to be bought on down days and up days. Lots of foreign interest with cheap US greenbacks. Dont sell this market short.

      Financials and Retail: Not as Dire as They Seem
      Three groups eventually and always end up with power/wealth through llow cost consolidation. Energy-defense-banks. The fed always takes care of there own. Hedge funds like Blackstone are already buying and divying up the spoils (see what they report this monday that will be an indicator of the financials. Banks will merge and the cycle will be repeated. Financils will recover and lead the market in the second half of the year.

      Financials and Retail: Not as Dire as They Seem
      As it becomes evident that comodities and inflation are spiraling higher and the stock market is spiraling lower the Administaion will step in with a bailout inititive plan. It will take months to develope and it will eventually be short of the mark but it will get Bush close to the door. Financials will again be in play the market wil find equilibrium and panic will subside. What date do you pick I take 4/1/2008. This is no county for old maids
