CEOs needed a way to keep showing blowout earnings for an investing public that wasn't happy with a steady 12% annual return anymore. Banks made bad loans through dishonest mortgage brokers to greedy homebuyers who thought they were going to get rich overnight. Now all of these people are going to be rewarded at the expense of the average working American who busts their ass everyday to make ends meet.

Putting blame for that expressly on the shoulders of one or two individuals is absurd. There's plenty of blame to be assigned here and this bailout just gives them all a free pass to do it again.]]>

I was in and out of this stock in the 3s and took a small loss. Management has no plan to address the real problems....over zealous expansion into a market that is in the middle of the worst housing bust in ages and expanding competition. Until management has a plan for that and doesn't get surprised by a $200something million dollar charge again, I'll pass.]]>

Did it ever occur to you that the WSJ hasn't published your paper because it sucks? (And, before you start in, yes I went to your website and read it....) And it isn't that I think you're a complete crackpot....I agree with most of the topics you've put forth. However, your treatise is written in a form that smells of "late night college bull session after a 12 pack and a joint." Make it sound less like an internet rant and you might get somewhere.]]>

3G iPhone: What Has Apple Got Against Cameras? http://seekingalpha.com/article/80673-3g-iphone-what-has-apple-got-against-cameras?source=feed#comment-182718 182718
That said, the iPhone camera leaves much to be desired. Upping the MP alone isn't going to make it "better".]]>
