Bank of America: A Risky Bet That May Be Worth It - Barron's

Ebschor: "A temporary freeze to M2M accounting will double B of A stock in a day. "

Are you crazy? Your examples of "investments" aren't even investments, they are speculative plays for day traders.

M2M accounting is the only thing giving REAL investors any confidence - suspend that and confidence goes even further.

Just because you think you can sweep your $hit under the rug doesn't mean it goes away.

Mark these words BoA is a TERRIBLE play folks, zero transparency and all lies. Why else would the taxpayer be propping them up.

Anyone going long on BoA for long term will be utterly slaughtered.

The WSJ Rewrites History

Bingo. You have just hit the nail on the head when it comes to credible online content.

Where is trust when content is utterly fallible? There isn't any.

How does one source information that changes? You don't.

WSJ online is a joke. Why bother.

Thanks Felix.

BofA Following Citigroup to $5 or Lower

"Questions surrounding the integrity of Bank of America’s disclosure are now casting a dark shadow over the banking sector."

Are you serious?! Did even one person on the planet think these guys were honest, or had turned over a new leaf?!

Sorry Charlie, even Ray Charles could see these banks are robbing American's blind. Largest heist in history.

I think they finally opened the book of the tier III assets!

Nationalize Citigroup and Bank of America

Nationalize nothing - let them fail.

For the love of God, quit paying these banks and the problem will go away!

Last Thursday Was the Bottom - It's Time to Get Back in

It's this kind of arrogance that leads a civilization to ruin -- blindly.

The truth is that not a person on this board knows $hit from apple butter in this current environment and the mechanics of manipulation, oversight (regulation), bubble-innovation and even fundamentals are countless levels of smoke and vapor deep.

Folks, the curtain just got pulled off the wizard -- sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

We still have tens of TRILLIONS of dollars in value to vaporize.

Last Thursday Was the Bottom - It's Time to Get Back in

...complete garbage.

The author will be slaughtered along with his following.

If anyone reads this and wants to go long, give their money to me. I'll take 25% and kick you in the "bottom" and hand you your returns.

Bigger is Not Better in Banking

I can't believe that the Federal Reserve BANK is still tolerated. Let's quit pulling hair like a couple of school-girls and abolish the Fed!

Also, don't let dumb$hit "W" have any say whatsoever in the conversation.

The Very Slow Thaw

Wowza, what a storm!

Do we have any idea how externalities such as foreign "invisible hands" are involved in this?

Wealth transfer overseas finally tipped the boat out of US favor perhaps?

I'm trying to wrap my brain around the shear magnitude of "all trade in the world" unwinding!

...As Shaggy would say: "GAZOINKS!"

Is the $700 Billion Really for Bailing Out the Fed?

Anyone that thinks the Federal Reserve is an institution which seeks public interest is an idiot. It is a for profit organization, serves little yet takes tremendous!

GET RID OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE AND I WILL CONSIDER A BAILOUT FOR THE RICH.

Where's the Bottom? Still Anybody's Guess

I've been taking a lot of time lately to consider "alternatives" that everyone keeps talking about. Out of this reflection, I feel as though Congress has all eyes on the financial crisis. This gives me much more confidence in that my interests both personally, and nationally will be served.

However as much as I despise the socialism of the rich, I think it be prudent to consider that "rich" is simply a concept in which the rest of the world still frowns upon even me.

I'm more and more confident that participation by all will "help" the problem, and now that the rush is mitigated in lieu of sacrifice, I'm ready to move on...

This is my first investor crisis, and as such, have learned a tremendous amount, notably in emotion, and stability.

Though the broader economy is yet another matter, we're all in this boat together, and i think more ores are rowing in the same direction after the last couple of months than the prior decade.

My tone and attitude is changing, and the opportunist is coming back.

History Suggests the Financial Bottom May Be Near

"I count ten times this year that analysts have prematurely called for a bottom in the financials and each time buyers have been bitten. We at Lone Peak Asset Management have refrained from making any such calls but it must be noted that this action is different. "

Are you serious?

One sentence you're ripping those that call the bottom, the next you build a case supporting that premise. What a joke. You keep thinking that the bottom is near, particularly when the bond markets get swallowed in this storm.

I'll be expecting the next commentary to reflect 11 false bottoms.

What's the BofA / Merrill Synergy?

I don't know about other posters, but the consolidation of big banks and investment houses into mega-banks in the absence of tremendous transparency scares the living $hit out of me. Now, we're creating precisely the entities that are "too big to fail". Perhaps that's the point.

I smell a rat, and eliminating competition from the financial system is bad, bad news for all.
