      Two Exciting Brazilian Oil Stocks
      I thought BG was a British group. You know, British Gas. BG. I'm also a shareholder, although it's a little tough to get hold of the shares here in the U.S.

      Added Liquidity Part of the Problem, Not the Solution
      The banks have lots of money now. They could peg the mortgage rate at 3% and still make good money but of course housing prices would skyrocket. At 6% they're making fantastic money, assuming Congress doesn't continue requiring them to loan money to people who don't have assets or jobs. Oh well. If the election goes at it looks like it might, the only people who will be buying houses will be the people who can't afford them.

      Bank of America: Bailing Itself Out?
      The private sector will bail out the borderline cases. The public sector (i.e. the politicians) will attempt to bail out the hopeless cases and will, of course, fail.

      A Satirical Breakdown of the Bailout Plan's Expenditures
      I think you're missing $600 billion but then so are the banks. It's probably for bonuses.

      Why Mark to Market?
      The problem is not mark-to-market as an accounting tool. The problem is mark-to-market as a regulatory tool. Regulators apply rules. If MTM shows you're insolvent by their rules then you're insolvent and that's just the way it is. Even if, in reality, you're not.

      America's Reign of Terror
      No doubt about it, the politicians are pretty bad. Yet people insist on electing ones who want more and more power. I don't want to be ruled but I think Reid, Pelosi, and Obama would be more than glad to have us all as subjects. Just learn to say, "Yes, your majesty."

      Bailout Bill: Second Verse, Same as the First
      Might as well be me if I was a good buddy of Barney Frank or Chris Dodd. That's the problem with this stuff - it's not for the good of the general public and the public has no good way of profiting. It's for the politicians and their so-called banking friends.

      How Much Are Fannie and Freddie to Blame?
      Essentially, originators would be laundering mortgages through Fannie and Freddie. Junk mortgages in. Implicit government guaranteed mortgages out. What a scam.

      How Much Are Fannie and Freddie to Blame?
      Trillions of dollars is a small price to pay for the approval of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, especially now that they're members of the party in power in Congress.

      No Buy Recommendations - Cramer's Lightning Round (10/1/08)
      Kramer's always had buy recommendations when the market was at its high. Now he's got none. A sure bottom sign!

      I saw actually a pretty good bailout plan in the Wall Street Journal today. It took up half a page. But that included the author's picture.

      We should have an age maximum in the Senate. If the minimum is 35 the maximum should be, well, 50. This would ensure that we get rid of the Kennedy's, the Biden's, the Reid's, and yes even the McCain's, and give someone else a chance. Oh, and the Byrd's, or, is he still alive?

      Reid doesn't care. He wants what he wants and to hell with the country, is his attitude.
