Barrick's Buy-Back Comes at a Bad Time

I dont understand why Barrick cant hedge its gold now at $1000 per ounce (ie sell puts) and liquidate (buy back the $411 puts) hedges with that money?

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

I agree with you 100%, but it will never happen because there is too much at stake. The feds will find a way to discredit Cumo and stop the light from shining on their treason.

Why Economists Messed Up

the first thing the economists got wrong is that the US is a "Free Market economy". It hasnt been since I dont know when. Everything and every economic step is controled by the federal government. The EPA, OSHA, and who knows how many other agencies and Czars so restict choices that it is no wonder the ivory towers that economists live in fell down.

It is part of the Bread and Circuses the sheeple are being fed to keep them quiet. The top 1% receives 20% of the income. The new taxes on the "rich" are meant for the middle class to insure they dont get upppity.

Before the 16th amendment fortunes were made and lost by many people. Since then the process has evened out and there isnt as much competition at the top. Just the way the top likes it.

Why U.S. Government Should Cut Federal Workers' Lavish Compensation

It isnt that the feds are paid better than private workers who do the same jobs. It is that the feds have jobs that are classified as more "skilled" than the average private worker.

Before everyone flames me, I want to agree whole heartedly that there are too many feds, and the size of the "workforce" at 2.7 million should be much smaller. Cut the congressional staffs (hell cut the congress in half so we only have half as many crooks to watch) and eliminate the Dept of "education" and energy and others to be named later.

I think the best idea is to repeal the 16th amendment, the Income tax.

Bailouts: Revisionist History

Here is a UTUBE video that captures the situation well:

Bailouts: Revisionist History

Give me a break! Tim (I cant figure out Turbo Tax) Gietner is NOT trying to correct the oligopoly of the big banks, he is helping enforce it. This whole administration is using Animal Farm as a play book to script their responses to questions about their actions.

These banks need to be broken up, they should have been allowed to go bankrupt. I understand it would have caused a huge financial mess for those involved with the wall street crowd. But it would have allowed those banks or Credit Unions who didnt lend irresponsibly to pick up the pieces.

What we have is a RICO stiuation between the congress and the big businesses that will never be investigated, let alone prosecuted. The congress passes laws to help those who stuff their campaign coffers and forget the rest of the country.

Look at goooh.com and get rid of these thieves! Both parties are moraly corrupt and complicent in selling America to the highest bidder.

Is a Crash Impending?

Invest in real assets...Food, drink and arms to protect ourself from those that would take from you. Be it the Crips or Bloods or the US congress. 40% of the San Juaquin valley wasnt in production because of a water shortage.

Oil to Natural Gas Price Ratio

T Boone ddnt drop his NG plan. But then it isnt about NG for him it is about water, getting an easment from Texas north to transport and sell water in the midwest and NE

FDIC's Private Equity Rule: So Much Can Go Wrong

The requirement for a banking francise will be contributions to the Barney Frank/Charlie Range reelection campaigns.

Bank of America and the Infamous 'Disclosure Schedule'

Just another example of the thieves in charge of the government (both GOP and Democrats) and in charge of the banks.

I have a friend who has a T-shirt that reads:
"Ali-Bama and the 435 thieves".

Guess He forgot the guys from wall street, but then maybe he couldnt count that high.

Forget 'Cash for Clunkers': Try 'Dough for Dumps'

Why not just take all those loans held by Freddie and Fannie and forgive them? That would give 25% of all mortgage holders a boost and increase their free cash flow significantly.

FNE and FRE are going to go bankrupt anyway so why not give back some of that cash?

Oh, sorry it cant happen because GS doesnt get a piece of it up front.

Where is it that Chelsea Clinton works on wall street????

Today May Be Markets' Turning Point

ALBERTAROCKS-
You are right on the money. The small guy is just a sheep to be shorn by the bankers. We have to keep ahead of the sheers or we will all be naked. No one ever went broke taking profits.
