Wall Street: Dumb as It Ever Was

It took you this long to realize that Wall Street is run by those who failed to get into Engineering College???

Monkey throw dart. Dart lands on target. Monkey, Super Star!!! Thats Wall Street for you!

Will Obama Be Better Than Bush for Stocks?

I think the solution for the Wall Street is to get Steve Jobs elected to be our next President! He did it for Apple, why not for the love of the country?

Why Wall Street Razzed Obama

"Responsibility is good. But it won't fix our current mess." Wow, that sounds like a teenager talking! Drink more to get sober, spend more to solve the financial crisis! Lets all go out and get more debt so we can fix this economy! If that was good for the government for the past government, it should be good for us too!

2009 Outlook and Beyond: Let Truth Be Your Guide

Never say never... I'm sure the same attitudes persisted after the Great Depression, but we became bigger and bigger consumers over time, didn't we? The market knows it will always find new fools, and it will wait for new generations or look for suckers in new places.

The alternative to the American Dream is called the European Dream I believe www.utne.com/2004-09-0...

You are right that happiness can be found without finding the goods in stores. If we all realized this truth, we wouldn't have been in this mess at all.

The Economic Policies of Failure

You say this is not a political article, but the teeth are showing thru the mouth.

Low Rates, Big Problems

So the bankers have to make less profit at a time when every one is getting squeezed. Welcome to the club. Arguments can be made for any and everything in life... Why do you have to make the assumption that lower rates necessarily translate to bigger loans? Some may, but with the lending getting more stringent this hopefully wont be an issue. People dont want to invest in real estate in an unpredictable down market. Dropping the rates will make it more attractive to own and will bring in buyers that have been holding out. If and when that happens, the housing market will stabilize, so I dont think dropping the mortgage rates is an error at all.

Service-Based Economy Is Progress? Show Me the Money

Andy,

You are correct about the Federal Reserve... but how do we create money backed by gold, when the Federal Reserve owns it, and we are holding pieces of paper that has nothing but a "legal currency"

Heres the interesting move that discusses these.

Bailout Bill Passes; What Happens Now?

Job creation and energy independence are two things that we can achieve if we start a massive mass transportation projects that we so badly in the USA. If we address these two issues, the rest will fall into place. If people have jobs, they dont have to foreclose, and less of our money will be going outside for oil.

Bailout Is Just the Beginning

Housing crisis the only the symptom, the cause is the continuing off-shoring of American jobs. Till we fix that how are we going to see an improvement in economy? People go into foreclosure because they have lost jobs. When and how are we going to address that issue? Read more at xmplary.blogspot.com

America's Fiscal Crisis: Tough Decisions Needed Now

I have to agree with your comments about the wrong being done to this great country by our politicians. The US Politics seems to have become as corrupt as those of the 3rd world countries. However, it is stupid for us to label ourselves as Decorats or Republicans anymore. It is these die hard fools that have made this country look so bad in the eyes of the rest of the world. Voting Republican because "I have always been a republican" or voting Democrat because "I have always been democrat" is plain stupid. It is stupid to identify yourself as a Republican or a Democrat. If you do, its better to find a better way to identify yorself. It is even stupider to vote on those party lines because you have identified yourself as such. How else can we be in a situation as bad is this?

Instead, we should vote based on issues, regardless of party lines. It has become increasingly difficult to identify what party stands for what ideas anymore, and rightly so. After all, you cannot claim ideas for yourself, ideas are for everybody. For the better or worse, the only change I can see that can come out from the next election is from the democratic party.

All that republicans have been pumping is the same old from the past 8 years and beyond... get the gun cowboy, run after the bad guy and keep hunting like the Elmer Fudd chasing Buggs Bunny looneytunes.warnerbros...

On the other hand, a woman and an African American has been running from the democratic party, which suggests to me that they at least have an open mind for change.

As for Bush, at least he kept his election promise about how he was going to run this country like a business, didnt he? I think he kept his word by running this country down to the ground as well as his other businesses. You really have to feel sorry for this guy, though... unlike the Midas (as in Midas touch), everything he touches seem to turn into charcoal.

So, its only us that have to be balmed for the situation that we are in today. Maybe we can choose to vote more inteligently next time, instead of voting on the party line because thats what you identify yourself as, or because your father, and grand father all voted for the same party for many generations.

Was That a Bottom? Should We Even Care?

I don't know if it was the bottom, but I'm glad there's a stop on naked shorting. It was being used for nothing, but to steal steal cheap shares from weak hands.

Will the Fed 'Disappear' in the Next Decade?

All that the Fed has ever done, and will ever do is screw tax payers by bailing out bad bets by banks. I would hope that the Fed would disappear sooner than later.
