I need a bailout

Defending Cramer's 'Madness'

Jim Cramer gets his fair share of right and wrong picks ... just like all the other pundits out there. Cramer admits his mistakes though .... not so sure about the other pundits.

I agree with your assessment of Cramer's constantly fresh material and thought provoking ideas, etc. If anything it does get me thinking ... and I have never followed his investment advice ... it's an entertainment show!!!

So factor in Cramer's thoughts when making investments ... no one owns the crystal ball. Even THE DONALD likes him.

Some Thoughts on Jim Cramer (aka Mr. Market)

No one has a crystal ball. So Cramer (like all the other pundits) gets his share of right and wrong ... and admits it. Like him or hate him he is filling an entertainment time slot and gets a lot of press ... even the Donald likes him on The Apprentice. I think you might just be a bit jealous or Cramer's "success"?.

When Will the Market Turn Negative Again?

The stimulus package is about to kick in. Just might keep this rally going and actually work?!

We're Due for a Serious Pullback

This market is amazing given the realities :residential and commerical real estate continuing to drop, deliquent / vanishing tennants in commercial real estate, banks are being asked to put up even more capital for the next possible huge stress, rising unemployment leading to less spending and worsening consumer credit, balooning government deficits due to excessive spending and less revenue, corporations struggling in most sectors and no upside (growth) in sight.... (add your own observations here)

YEP .... the markets are about to be hammered. WATCH OUT BELOW!

Mortgage REITs: Real Value in a Chaotic Market

Interesting article on Mortgage REITs. The yields are tempting. One way to spread the risk on purchasing any one of these is to purchase REM which holds a basket of these mortgage REITS and yields 26%. We are long REM.

12 Reasons to Short Gold

There may be reason #13 for gold to decline in value. Deflation is underway all around us. Housing, oil, food, etc.

Isn't gold a hedge against inflation? Gold is appreciating in a deflationary environment. Is this not strange?

History Indicates a Bottom

There is no future in history.

TSX Trading Strong: Time to Buy Canadian Shares?

Canada has a politically and economically stable economy. Canada is running a budget surplus ... a refreshing idea in the world of increasing government deficits. US investors may also benefit from the coming decline in the US dollar. There is no housing crisis in Canada. The best kept secret about CDN equities is the number of offerings that have paid dividends well over 10% for years. Canada offers some great opportunities for those US investors wanting to get away from a country in financial distress at this time (USA).

After Coming Rate Cuts, Some Appealing Short ETFs

Dont bet against CDN banking stocks. They are off their highs by anywhere from 12% (BNS) to 44% (CM) and are paying dividends ranging from 4 - 6%. Canada is stable politically and economically and is a member of G7, G8 and UN. Canada is running a budget surplus .... a refreshing idea in the world of ever increasing government deficits. There is no housing crisis in Canada.

The Glass Is Half Full

Obviously you folks defending George Bush have no idea about how his policies led to so many "home" less. Here he is bragging in 2004

You can find George Bush bragging year after year about his nothing down home ownership policies. Now he would not dare say such things.

The Glass Is Half Full

George Bush bragged about his policies and pushed for home ownership with nothing down. For you doubters out there ... he should resign.

Horrid Data: Housing, Jobs, Durable Goods

Yes those stats are bad ... but the overriding worst stat is the ever increasing national debt at $10 trillion +. We need a really good accountant or a magician to make this disappear.

And who is up for election? Another lawyer (already have way too many of those) and a guy who served his country well.

Watch out below!!!!

Bailouts Are Painful - And Should Be

Your question is "What is the crisis at the present?". No one seems to know what the crisis is all about ... but I do.

There was no bailout announcement during the failures of Lehman, Freddie, Fannie, AIG etc. But when Goldman started to drop toward $100 per share there was the bailout idea / announcement by Hank Paulson / George Bush. Why did the bailout come at this time? It is because Paulson owns $500 million of Goldman stock. If you were going to lose that kind of cash you would bow down / get on one knee to whomever you thought could save your ass!!! In fact, some of you may have done a lot more for Nancy!

Paulson's Plan is About Marking to Market

You all have no idea about the real reason for the bailout.
