The article basically puts the blame at Phil Gramm's feet. It says that some laws he helped get passed in 1999. It was" a historic banking billthat decimated Depression-era firewalls between commercial banks , investment banks, insurance companies,and securities firms-setting off a wave of merger mania.
In Dec. 2000, he helped to get a bill passed called theCommodity Futures Modernization Act. It was written with the help of financial industry lobbiests. For starters, the legislation contained a provision-lobbied for by Enron, a generous contributor to Gramm-that exempted energy trading from regulatory oversight. I believe it also opened the door for all those Credit Defaukt Swaps that ultimately helped everything get so out of controll.

We will feel the results of this deregulation for years into the future. I've tried to give a summary of the article, but I'm afraid I haven't done it justice. Please chekc out the article for greater detail. ]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:03:28 -0400

I remember a TV show on PBS explaining THE GREATER FOOL THEORY
Let us all make sure WE are not the "greater fools", assuming that there are those who believe that the markets will push higher
even in the face of mega oil prices that affect transportation and food. I know not the future, but it doesn't look rosey to me right
now. Although ...Warren Buffet doesn't seem to be taking much off his own table of stock holdings.
What does anyone else think???

and our energy needs. I don't know. Who really knows.
The article is certainly worth pondering.]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:29:18 -0400 Damn the torpedos of mega oil prices affecting staples like food

The entire market took a huge hit last week.
I'm interested in anyone else's take on the present situation in the market and in AIG in particular. Pray tell if you have some insight.]]> Mon, 26 May 2008 11:00:10 -0400 On Friday 5/23/08 , AIG closed at $36.95.

of the market and then it started to fall. I think down to 3 or 4%.
Most people LOVE the computers. I know I love mine.
