Solar Power Plays Look to Grow with Clean Energy Act, Spanish Subsidies

heh, yeah, let's start taxing used vegetable oil. These damn hippies are the reason our roads are in such bad shape.

Central Banks Have Become Dangerous

It's not so much a war on the middle class as it is a class cleansing

Merck and Schering-Plough Make the Bad News About Vytorin Even Worse

How do we know this isn't just some cynical market manipulation ploy, to allow big money to get into these companies at a bargain price?

Henry Paulson Begins to Trash His Own Reputation

This story makes a lot more sense than the other stuff I have heard. People were falsely claiming that Paulson's plan is a move towards socialism. That is a red herring. It is actually furthering their general agenda of a fascist state. The federal reserve is not a government entity, but is owned and managed by the member banks, so this is actually a move towards less regulation and transparency, not more. At the same time it is a move to essentially eliminate independent banks, by creating a banking hegemony under the guise of the "federal reserve" system.

Tuesday's Action: Sign of a Bottom?

Citigroup Analysts Upgrades Lehman Brothers to 'Buy'

well, more and more I am starting to think the BSC sacrifice was because they didn't cooperate with the previous s&l bailout and were therefor marked for retribution by "wall street".

New Treasury Plan - Short Housing and Insurance

Bear Stearns’ Bailout by the Fed, JPM: A Century Old Conspiracy

It's not socialism we are heading towards, its fascism: the melding of corporate and federal government power

Ben Stein and Bear Stearns: Getting It Wrong

Why is Ben Stein even allowed to comment on financial matters? With the way he talks he obviously never fully awakes from sleep.

I'm on Meredith Whitney's Side

Well you can't deny the fact that the FDIC is hiring like hot cakes. What about the credit unions? CalState9 already went into receivership last year.

Bear Stearns’ Bailout by the Fed, JPM: A Century Old Conspiracy

Or how about the way greenspan flamed both bubbles back-to-back, then bailed out of the hot seat right before things went south. Then what did he do? He got a board seat on one of the few hedge funds to profit in the downturn.

Bear Stearns’ Bailout by the Fed, JPM: A Century Old Conspiracy

How about the fact that Paulson was recently the head of goldman sachs, switched over to head treasury, and the whole time that the sub prime thing was going on he continued to cheerlead the economy, while GS was the only IBank to make big profits in the downturn. And now Goldman Sachs experts are being invited to the white house to "discuss" the situation. JPM was also the bank of choice to lead the bailout after the crash of 29.

The Fed is Deflating: 10 Reasons Why

What ever you do, do NOT pay any attention to the man behind the curtain! Nothing to see here, move along now...

Left is right, up is down, inflation is deflation, good is bad.... As long as we don't expand the supply of "cash" we can borrow our way out of any predicament.

Lehman Brothers is Looking Sick Again

...time to go long gold

Visa, Mastercard Risk Ramped Up Competition

Wez, you have a point. I don't think there is a standard when reporting shares outstanding on these free web sites. And indeed there must be a lot of confused people out there, myself one of them. Google's data is definitely misleading. It looks like yahoo finance has something closer to reality.

It also depends on each individual company, on how they divvy up and classify their own shares, which can make comparisons a bit more difficult.
