      Why Cramer Should Be Suspended
      Why didn't you AND Cramer tell people to get the heck out of the stock market and go short back in June??? Do you keep up with the news? Do you look at charts and analysis? It was obvious after 6/6 that we were headed into a downtrend that was likely to last awhile. You call yourself a financial professional and people pay you to look after their life savings, so pay attention and do it.

      Cramer is truly the village idiot, as someone described above, but he addresses people who are interested enough to tune in, and they took matters into their own hands. Your customers PAID you to look out for them, and if they have been long in this market with no offsetting protection, you have failed them.

      Potential Post-Crisis Stock Shopping List
      Once we get thru this, nearly everyone will be a good stock picker.

      Time to Pick Up the Pieces of the Global REIT Thud
      Equity's point is worth repeating. Being a industry insider, it seems to me that everyone forgot that the RE in REIT stands for REAL ESTATE.
      The industry both in the US and internationally became driven by people who know next-to-nothing about real estate, and only focused on the idea that highly-leveraged, cash flowing (at the time) assets are a good thing. When it comes to actually managing the future of the properties and understanding the credit risk, they are clueless.

      Pay Little Heed to Economic Reports and Move On
      I'm a reasonably literate guy and I can't figure any purpose for this post.

      Time To Go Long, For A Short Time?
      A very short term dead cat bounce is likely, but why would you go double-long (with derivative ETF's) until there is some rally that can be confirmed? You are not following the market - you are predicting the market, which you cannot do, and certainly the typical investor can't do it. Buy into the bounce when you see the bounce.

      Positive Divergences Continue to Stack Up
      The rally is coming to you soon - a bear market rally that is. Or a sucker's rally, depending on what side of it you would like to play.

      LA Times: Zell is Not the Problem
      Yep -that pretty much sums it up except the part about The Times pushing its own social-political agenda down the throats of its customers to the point they hurled it all over their front lawns and started looking elsewhere for their news.

      Federal Reserve Buys AIG
      The bridge loan to Nowhere. Looks like us taxpayers are the proud owners of another stinking pile of garbage assets.

      We're Still a Long Way from a Real Banking Crisis
      Richmond - Nouriel Roubini says the number is $3 trillion, and he has been the most correct voice thus far. Check out his interview on Bloomberg.com. It is on their homepage this weekend.

      Retail Sales Report: Do Facts Mean Nothing?
      Don't take your eye off this stuff - financials, homebuilders, retailers, consumer discretionary - many traders are in the same boat - testing the water and waiting, but it's coming. Look at the fast casual dining concepts today. Chipotle and Panera got crushed, along with Chuck e Cheese and Buffalo Wild Wings. The American consumer will not go down easily. His credit card will have to be pried from his cold, dead fingers, but its coming.
      The other problem is that these stocks, and even the ETF's are shorted into oblivion. Nervous people are sitting there with their finger on the trigger, ready to chicken out at the first glimmer of hope. HEY MARK - I think that's you! Maybe you are part of the problem! :-)

      We're Still a Long Way from a Real Banking Crisis
      Being in the commercial real estate business, I see projects every day that should be in foreclosure due to non-payment but are not because the bank will not foreclose. Many banks have loaned these investors another year of reserves, hoping by then this crisis will be over and it's back to business as usual. Perry doesn't address this or a whole host of points brought up here that should take a smart guy maybe 10 seconds to realize.
      Why in the world would Mark Perry do this in every single article? He put on his blinders, takes his absolutely singular point of view and puts it it out here so that he can get the crap kicked out of him. He is either hell-bent to make his point, or he's into some wierd mental self-flagellation. The ten-thousand dollar question on Seeking Alpha is "What is this guy's agenda?".

      The Death of Consumption?
      Squabble - That's a good description. It's not even relevant.


      I read this same article on Bloomberg and had some of the same thoughts. Mathematically speaking, we must be headed toward serious problems. Joblessness is on the rise, consumer credit on the rise, defaults of all types on the rise, and spending is 70% of our economy... Leaves one scratching his head on how Urban Outfitters and True Religion can be doing so well. Leave your logic at the door - it doesn't apply in this market.

      Currency Market Predicts Bailout Is the End of the Credit and Housing Crunch
      Nope, I'm not trading these bets with your money. But more importantly, your points of logic can't even be connected. Why, after 6,121 calls for a housing bottom, and Cramer saying it will happen 250-something days from now at 2:30 in the afternoon, would you throw your call into the ring today using questionable logic? This is the kind of writing that makes people question your agenda.

      And another thing for SF Attorney - who the heck signs on to an anonymous blogsite under the name "Attorney"? Geez, my worst nightmare - to be stuck on a 5 hour flight between one guy who identifies himself as an attorney in the first 30 seconds, and another guy who sells insurance. Unless it is relevant to your post, nobody cares.
