Madoff's Investors Don't Deserve Compensation or Sympathy

Beautiful!! Your article should be published full page in all major newspapers. And shame on the WSJ.

Why I'd Buy Toyota, The #1 Automaker in the U.S.

You are an accountant, Cliff, remember that. While I can't stand GM cars (and I've owned a few) specifically, and american cars generally, this time it IS different. Toyota veered right down the same road with their own 5+ litre vehicles chasing $ from dumb americans. Toyota has problems too.

GM, F and C always went for the easy money because it was so easy taking money Republicans (as you say, conservatives) and from younger people who thought muscle cars were good cars. Old, fat, rich guys now pay hundreds of thousands for those "classics."

Europe and Japan always made BETTER cars and that was their goal EVERY single year--not different fenders, BETTER cars.

Now GM, shorn of massive debt and without Rick Wagner and his incompetent Board, know what has to be done, will put real car people in place and WILL turn it around.

The Danger of Leveraged ETFs

How many times is somebody going to warn us of the dangers of leveraged ETF's saying the same thing? We get it--at least what you are saying--not that we necessarily agree. Try writing calls on the longs--fat premiums.

Predatory Legislators

Even though in a perfect world we should stop borrowing, stop spending and hunker down, that's what happened going into the great depression and it exaserbated and prolonged the conditions until WWII. It may be counter intuitive but we have to do as Bernanke, a student of the great depression, has been doing and flood the system with liquidity to keep it going. The companion piece is everything the administration and other countries are doing to provide fiscal stimulus. There will be inflation at some point, but the alternative is worse.

Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

Bravo, Michael Shedlock! Schiff is a charlatan. I don't know how he get's his TV appearances, especially since other investment pro's appearing with him are obviously uncomfortable.

12 CNBC Pet Peeves

I like Dennis. They show courage to break the mold. Sharon Epperson screeching about oil prices unintelligilbly is where I have to change the channel. Joe is a big Republican, but good natured. Gasparino and and some of the people Kudlow has on are from the dark side of the planet--they are one issue people--taxes.

The Reagan Counterrevolution

You can write moronic characterizations of the ecomomy on websites--the first amendment is broad--but how do you get on Fox network, where right wing plutocrats think you are a Nut?

Next Investment Opportunity? Citigroup Analyst Says Healthcare Stocks

Obama's Healthcare Plan, which is GOOD for business, runs through UNH and others. That's the only way he can get it done. And even if they are squeezed on margin they will have millions more under contract.

From Subprime to Meltdown: Is Peak Oil Responsible?

It was hardly Peak Oil. It was relationship or the nexus between the party putting together subprime securitizations and the buyer of those packages who was either unsophisticated or sophisiticated but knew the paper could be sold at healthy markup to someone who was just shopping for yield.

Without that there would not have been the money available to the investors and unqualified people buying real estate only because it could only go up. When property quit going up it was all over.

Shopping During Armageddon

Ignore the politics? Of course the Democrats could pass it, but why should they? And have the Republicans beat them over the head with it? Nobody wants this on either side. It has to be a bipartisan vote of those in safe seats given the Election is upon us.

Yes, GE and DOW among many others.

Republican Bailout Counterproposal? Utterly Idiotic

Thank you, Bonnie!

And I am so sick of right wing morons saying the Democrats have the votes, so pass the bill. They can't wait to go up against Democrats in the Election and say "I didn't vote for this outrageous raid on the taxpayer" while reaping the benefits of the stock market NOT going down 1000 points and their ATM's NOT giving them a receipt for their frozen balances.

I'm Speechless: Palin on the Bailout

This is Great!

"res ipsa locquitur"--the thing speaks for itself.

It's such a crackup to see these right wing morons blame her incoherent answer on the Left and Couric.

Election Speculation: Steaks and Strip Joints

Wow, here I thought contributors to Seeking Alpha had brains. Since it appears you don't have any money and are living in your parents basement, you should at least vote your own interest--Obama and other Democrats.

The Election's Impact on the Market

It's obvious you don't follow politics. How does McCain continue the Bush tax cuts, lower corporate taxes, and add to military spending and not take the country further into ruin with a deficit that weakens the dollar and lowers our standard of living even more? It can't be done. You say, what about Obama's health care? Without going into the many, many reasons for this country joining the developed world, I would think American businessmen would welcome the government stepping in so there is more fair competition with the rest of the world where healthcare is one of the primary functions of the government and businessmen don't have to be burdened with it.

McCain has just admitted with his VP nomination that he believes he doesn't have a chance of winning. He is telling the right wing who wouldn't accept his first choice--Ridge or Lieberman--you want fundamentalist values--I'll give you fundamentalist values--screw you.

As for Palin taking Hillary votes, she is to women as Clarence Thomas is to blacks.

Obama WILL be President--get used to it.
