The Facts Behind the Coming Congressional Mortgage Bailout Bill

i do not want to help the stupid borrowers who refused to live within their means or the greedy lenders who loaned to these people. USER229893 GREAT IDEA. GALLOP i am glad to see blame placed there and agree but there was a lot of stupid lending right down the food chain too. what i would like is to let the market settle it as A SIMPLER WAY suggests. i as someone who owes no one and has over time saved am infuriated at the taxation through inflation and that other tax dollars are being used. FRIEND the market is a dangerous place. those same bank stock investors recieved dividends and hoped to increase share price. i hate to see anyone hurt but if we want to protect their losses then we must protect every loss. i would never sell naked puts or uncovered calls it looks way to dangerous to me. however if we want it to stop in one sector in fairness should it not stop across the board. we do not have a free market. i wish we did. government cannot keep their dirty little hands out of anything it seems. as much as i would love to see the guilty suffer i feel like there is a gun to our heads if we let justice take the proper course. it is a conundrum that started long ago when the federalis first began to break their chains and to usurp the constitution. we were warned not to allow a national bank.

winslow, obama? government? not that hillary or john are any better. looks like the choices were larry moe and curly, or the facist the socialist or the communist. the gov has done well with: our currency? socialist security? education? infrastructure? defense? healthcare?...... maybe if they were chained as intended by our constitution and concentrated on what tiny amounts of legal authority the fedaralis are allowed we would not be in this mess. please do not whine about an organic constitution. it was written in the simple plain language of the day for all to understand.

U.S. Bank Dividend Yields Revisited

i owned about 8500 shares of regions at the time of the amsouth buyout. luckily circumstances caused me to sell off 7000 shares to buy bhp,ngs,trma,silxf, and io. also to pay off a new home purchase. i sold the old home right after the first wave of housing trouble. i guess an angel was watching over my shoulder or lady luck was smiling. i wish i could say i had that much savvy but i was lucky. my remaining shares of regions are reinvesting.
