I have a 04 Crown Vic.gas milage in town 19/20 & on the interstate 26.
Car is in very good mechanical shape and NO PAYMENTS. I use 16 gal gas a week. What is the incentive to trade in and pay out 400 - 600 a month in car payments. Gas can go to 4.00 - 5.00 a gallon and I'de still make out better than people getting in debt for hybrids for 30 to 45K and if they don't drive these vehicles right, gas milage still wont' be that great. ]]> Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:58:28 -0400

They need to start thinking "out of the box" and come up with alternative avenues for revenue or their stock will continue to head towards "penny" stocks, which DRYS and Star Bulk Carriers is heading. ]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:54:56 -0400

When they said "we are making a profit" in Jan and Feb, from what I've read, they didn't tell the rest of the story nor did it change their situation with the mortage paper problems. They are just hoping for a accounting change which really doesn't put them in any better position and it would allow them to continue business as usual.

Personally, I believe people should switch to their local Credit Unions and home town banks that operate within their own state.]]> Sun, 29 Mar 2009 08:21:57 -0400

Middle class workers who save through their 401K's and others with IRA's feel the effects the most.

Also margin trading should be changed to require at least 50.% cash instead of the 10.% .]]> Thu, 25 Dec 2008 17:25:02 -0500

Wind power will take awhile to get going, solar power likewise and neither power cars.

Obama has deliberately not talked about drilling in the U.S. on land and off shore but that is one way our people can be put to work immediately and the money stays "at home" . Put a import tax on all middle east, Venezuelan and Russian oil now .

I would rather buy a demo or late model lease car, not have car payments and then not have $4.00 gas hurt the budget.]]> Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:58:06 -0500

It serves no purpose except to disrupt the markets. The middle class people try to build their portfolios, 401K, IRA's just to be knocked back down by these big funds and high rollers.

Some countries have outlawed the practice and I believe it is a trend to discontinue "short" selling.]]> Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:00:42 -0500

Our Congress can't run itself and now is going to put stipulations on all those who begged for this money . If this isn't a leap to Socialism, then what is.

The best thing thosse that took the money can do is get their house in order and pay it back to get the feds off their back and hopefully have learned how to run a business.

You hear on the news that most of us are against these bail outs. If it is true then we should see it in the results of the next couple of elections when the majority of the Democracts will be retired.]]> Tue, 02 Dec 2008 13:28:02 -0500

The car makers need to make it on their own, if they can't someone will replace them.

Same with the financials. What is disturbing now is everyone wants to buy a bank to qualify for the money and another angle coming is after they get the money and decide to put themselves up for sale, the 25 billion or so will go with the sale which also could be a company in another country.

If a institution takes the bail out money, then puts itself on the "for sale" list the bail out money should go back to the treasury, whether it is a domestic or foreign company that buys them.

Anyone that can buy out a Citi Bank, Wachovia, etc. shouldn't need any federal dollars. Any that can afford to buy a bank to qualify for the bail out money shouldn't need or get it either.]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:36:41 -0500

No company, auto or otherwise should be handed money without certain stipulations as the CEO, CFO and executive board as well as the BOA should be replaced or why have the same people that created the problem get another chance to do the same. Union contracts should be amended for the survival of the corporation as without it there won't be any jobs anyway.]]> Sat, 15 Nov 2008 19:09:44 -0500

The Feds need to make stipulations that any corporation or financial institution receiving the funds first replaces their CEO's, CFO's , top execs and Board of Directors that created the mess.

As for selling mortgage accounts from one bank or institution to another laws need to be in place that they are sold "in whole" and not broken up into fractions going to multiple buyers. ]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:37:19 -0500
