'The Worst Is Over for Financials' - Really?

Starting to say that I may be wrong in my thinking, it is well nigh impossible under the present adminstration, to persecute the CEOS of all losing companies, as the FED is backing them sky high. It is nothing but a pipe dream!

The FED IS GIVING THE INVESTMENT BANKS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED TRADERS, THE MOOLA IN THE FORM OF 150 BILLION LOANS FOR ONE MONTH, AND THIS IS REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN, TAKING THEIR LOSS MAKING DERIVATIVES AS COLLATERAL. The gold standard has been withdrawn so that note printing is so easy.

When the oil goes up you expect the DOW to go down, but somedays it goes up on flimsy news to my consternation! That is when investors lose their money.

The investment banks and traders use the 150 billion loan to prop up or down the DOW components as a team in the most unexpected illogical way, and foolishly all the stocks follow the DOW almost verbatim after a few minutes. So the investment banks and associated traders make a kill on the stocks, as they kinow when they will go up or down against normal logic, and the poor investorsd become usual suckers. It is a pity, as this phenomena is repeated over and over agin sucking the investors money, and the banks and traders priofit enormously to wipe their loans. This way, one day they will have no loss making derivatives in the near future, at the expense of the small hedge funds, pension funds and other investor companies.

Please read Paul Begala comments on the elections. I think that he says that the democrats will lose, as the egg heads and afro-americans are backing the wrong horse. I think this makes McCain as the winner and the policies of the present adminstration will continue and the CEOS of the losing companies will flourish to the anger of the investors. I think all the outbursts are futile, as the present adminstration is unshakeable and will continue to the consternation of all the commentators!

Citigroup's Flush

Some drug companies products sold in the market had side effects, which lead to permanent disablement and even death. This was revealed during their clinical trials to the drug firms, but they hid it from the public and the intent was sheer profit, and not worrying about the damages to the patients. They even bribed researchers to give positive analysis of their products.

The same thing is happening in the stock research analysis. Most of the stock analysts, give positive analysis of companies, while actually it shouild be negative. This leads me to think that the analysts are in the pockets of the companies. They do not care that many people, who have invested in these stocks with their life savings, would go bust and be on the streets in their retirment age. They have no conscience, as their greed exceeds their moral commitments.

Meredith Whitney Threatens Severe Deflation For Your Portfolio

FOR A NOVICE INVESTOR LIKE ME, MOST OF THE COMMENTS ARE CONFUSING. IT IS LIKE AN ELECTION DEBATE FOR AND AGAINST A CANDIDATE, AS IT HAPPENS NOW IN USA. I BELIEVE IN THE DICTUM THAT 98% OF THE ANALYSTS ARE LIARS AND ONLY 2% ARE HONEST WITH NO AXE TO GRIND. THE LIAR ANALYSTS ARE PAID BY THE COMPANIES TO BOOST THEIR STOCK. THEY MISLEAD EVERYONE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE SUPER RICH, WHO CONTROL THE COMPANIES. TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF BEAR STERNS AND HOW CRAMER AND OTHER ANALYSTS LIED. POOR INVESTORS LOST THEIR SAVINGS AND THE GOVT DOES NOT HELP THEM. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH ENRON. SAME THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH OTHER COMPANIES. I PITY THE INVESTORS LIKE ME GOING TO LOSE OUR HARD EARNED SAVINGS, AND WHO CARES! NOBODY WILL GIVE US HANDOUTS, AS THE COMMERCIAL AND INVESTMENT AND PROBABLY INFLUENTIAL TRADER FIRMS AND AIRLINE GET! ONE PONT WHICH IS THE MAIN CAUSE (THAT NOBODY DISCUSSES) IS THAT WHEN EXPENDITURE IS MORE THAN RECEIPTS, THE RESULT IS NOTHING BUT BANCRUPTCY. GOD HELP THE POOR INVESTORS, WHO CANNOT GET OUT, AS SELLING THEIR STOCKS MEANS HEAVY LOSSES. SO THEY STICK ON HOPING FOR THE MANNA FROM HEAVEN!
