    • The Debate: McCain's Insane Mortgage Proposal [view article]
      My kids, through middle and high schools, didn't get go on nice vacations or have closets full of the newest fashions, as did our neighbors. We paid the same for our house as the neighbors paid for theirs, although they make more money. We didn't use our credit cards for HELOC for luxuries. Now they're in trouble, although they still make more money than we, and McCain wants to give them a break?
      It doesn't make sense on a whole lot of levels.

      If all this started all those many years ago, why didn't George Bush fix it in the years he had a Republican controlled House and Senate? How much of this goes back to loans made more than five or six years ago? Sep 28 03:36 PM

      The three month average trading volume of this stock appears to be around 10 percent -- way too high. Could make one think there are a lot more shares outstanding than management is letting us know about.

      From Yahoo Finance:
      Average Volume (3 month)3: 3,576,850
      Average Volume (10 day)3: 3,008,930

    • GE May Spin Appliances Unit, Not Sell It [view article]
      Over the past two decades I've bought several GE appliances for my home and other properties. I've never failed to be disappointed. Yet, I own their stock. I hope I can sell it soon. I don't want stock in the spin-off corp. I unload trucks for a living, but it's my understanding that if GE kept 50 percent of the stock, it would effectively have controlling interest of the spin-off and would consolidate it on GE's books for tax purposes.
