So true. I guess we might observe that it was always good buy if it was bought at $110. Perhaps there are still stockholders who bought at $110. What will they think when it is $50. Stranger things have happened.]]> Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:44:07 -0400

The problem is that after one does excellent research, there are enough morons to listen to the Paulsons and the Cramers of the world and then these morons drive the market in an illogical fashion thus ruining the hard work of the diligent investor or trader.

The same is true about elections. Democracy fails because there are enough fools that vote their emotions and not the issues. A candidate who drums up the fools will win virtually every time.]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:54:42 -0400

We need to do away with recommendations. We also need to do away with mutual funds because then company executives would be responsible to individual shareholders, not fellow executives running mutual funds, hedge funds, pension funds, et cetera. As Sarah Palin might say " I betcha high CEO salaries would go down too" as shareholders retook control.

There was infrastucture and education funding fifty years ago. The Baby Boom generation slobbered at this trough and then grew up to cut their tax payments massively. We have had a stampede of the Greedheads for decades. It cannot continue.

Second, the problem is that the U. S. has a credit fueled consumer economy. It is a Ponzi scheme based on cheap labor achieved by immigration, legal and illegal and by borrowing to fund today's expenses.

Cramer is just pimping for the bankers. Notice that no one is talking about adding a repeal of that bankruptcy law passed a couple of years ago.

There is far more wrong with our economy, which is based on growth with cheap labor, than just the mortgages. It is riddled with Ponzi schemes such as Social Security.

If free markets are not allowed to correct, then let's just nationalize banks and houses!!]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:48:25 -0400 But my landlord quit paying the mortgage, but kept the rent money.

We might as well vote for the real communist. At least then the profits are socialized too.

wyosteven: "find out who is opposing the Congressional "oversight" and donate to their campaigns!!"

The problem with this is that a candidate's position changes after election, i.e. politicians lie.

"Now is the time to buy" is the mantra of every real estate sale person. They were saying it at the peak of the recent bubble. I can't believe Cramer is spouting such foolishness.]]> Fri, 19 Sep 2008 08:02:49 -0400

I was lucky, I cashed in my options earlier in the day and pocketed nice profits. For some reason I had this feeling that they were close to finding their crack pipe and would start passing it around.

By the way, if anyone has a truck of Zimbabwe dollars, keep them; the U.S. dollar may soon equal one Zimbabwe dollar.

How true. Only drug dealers can afford housing in California. Reporters state that empty houses are becoming crack houses in the inner cities. Perhaps they were always crack house and only the crack dealers could keep up their mortgage payments!

Worry Paulson? That is what he wants. Fifty years ago, businesses were still owned by stockholders. Now for all practical purposes they are owned by the upper management class of society. Stockholders are now really a class of creditors, who likely will get stung when things get rough. As corporations are "too big to let fail", stockholders are stripped of their assets in a reorganization but the institution continues without missing much of a beat.
