      Detroit is Hemorrhaging
      Something about that Chrysler 300 really pushes my buttons. It looks just yummy to me. But then I googled some customer reviews and saw the living hell those people are going through.

      Think I'll stick with my Camry. Thanks anyhoo Detroit.

      How Oversold Are We?
      PrudentMan, how can you rail against the evils of socialism when capitalism has just "redistributed&qu... so much of the national wealth into a black hole? Gone. Destroyed.

      We don't need to repeat the mistakes of the Soviets just in order to reign in the anything-for-a-buck animal spirits of the wild west.

      Steady growth without boom and bust has always been a desirable goal. Otherwise we are simply rolling the dice with a financial China Syndrome.

      The Bailout's Auction Design: How About a Market?
      If by CDOs you mean mortgages, then each one is unique. They are not fungible by their very nature.

      We need a small working group to quickly look at the details of each one proposed for auction and rank it for (1) payment history, (2) current loan to value (use Zillow), and (3) credit rating of the borrower.

      Numismatic markets depend on an accepted grading system which differentiates gems from common date circulated specimens. If you don't grade the inventory, the pig-in-a-poke problem will persist, and you will not realize full if any value from an auction.

      Good for you iThinkBig. Per Harry Truman: "I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it's hell."

      Fannie and Freddie: We All Support You!
      MediaGuy, this resembles a Chapter 11 in its effect for the holders of common stock. Existing equity capital is cancelled and charged off. Why did you ride the price to zero when everyone else was running for the exits? Was it because you misunderstood that the "implicit government guarantee" did NOT pertain to someone's ownership interest in the enterprise?

      What Will Fannie / Freddie Mean for Monday?
      You didn't mention anything about the effect of this announcement on the dollar, interest rates, and commodity prices.

      Isn't the implication that the dollar will be down and that interest rates and commodity prices, including oil, will be up?

      Hedge Fund Blow-Up Letters: Where Are the Apologies?

      The FDIC troubled banks list is kept secret for this same reason.

      Precious Metals Manipulation: Lawyers Prepare for Battle
      The author is clearly a disgruntled gold bug. But I will echo his sentiments to this extent:

      Phony gold is fraud regardless of the apparent strength of the counterparty minting it, and the Comex harms its brand by not policing the abuse; and

      Commodity speculation of any kind is not a suitable activity for FDIC insured banks.
