  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    "In a speech Tuesday, President Obama is expected to talk about using leftover TARP funds for job creation, although he may hit resistance from Republicans who want to use such funds for deficit reduction."

    Obama may also hit resistance when he goes back and reads the TARP legislation, which does not allow for using TARP funds in the manner he desires. Of course, the rule of law did not slow him down during the Chrysler and GM bankruptcy proceeding, did it?

    Excellent Wall Street Breakfast this morning, Suzanne. A couple of comments:

    "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested recycling leftover funds from the $700B TARP fund to create jobs and boost some salaries." Why boost salaries, as we now live in a world of no inflation and 0% increases for Social Security?

    "Interim GM Chairman Ed Whitacre will announce new responsibilities for Vice Chairman Bob Lutz as part of an overhaul of the management team this morning, sources say. Whitacre is building a team to run the company until a replacement is hired, in a push to make GM more nimble and to hold employees accountable." Wonder if any of the employees who will be held accountable are UAW members. And, aren't employees already accountable for what they do?

    It took Detroit and the UAW 40 years to do it, but they have finally convinced me that they cannot build a competitive world-class car. Congratulations.

    Climate change has been a cycling hysteria since at least the late-1800's; alternating between cooling (late-1800's, 1970's) and warming (1930's, early 2000's). The progressives will never be satisfied until they control everything, and they are well on their way with the current administration.

    I am also a small investor, like eddie64. While not as negative as eddie, I also do not understand how a naked short seller is allowed to sell that which he/she does not own; it just does not make sense to my logical mind.

  • Top Foreign Dividend Stocks Traded in New York [View article]
    Similar comment on BCS as Menachem Ben Yakov's comment on Lloyds TSB. Per Yahoo Finance, BCS has paid dividends of $1.755 and $0.895 during the 12 months preceeding its 8/29/08 close of $25.70. Assuming my data and math are correct, that produces a dividend of 10.31%.
