Buyer Beware: 30 Biggest Bankruptcy Risks

Col. JJFF Sr. Retired. Absolutly brillant expose' of the American scene but this is NOT America anymore. We have morphed into some sort of, as Ron Paul said, soft Facist State. We are not ruled by the rule of law. We reward white collar criminals as though they were a priviliged class. TARP is illegal and is forced down our throats by declaring an emergency! There is no equal justice across the land. The US is governed by self-serving, greedy politicians. Americans do not have a Republic or a Democracy and absolutely no control over our representatives or our destiny. Re: Iraq, Afghanistan,etc A fast road to nowhere.

The Imminent Equity Implosion

Brillant Article! Yes debt can provide growth. This Treasury debt is reckless. It is just plugging a hole. Without growth the debt will grow until it is unsustainable.

The Shrinking Universe of Dividend Aristocrats

If anything, buying stocks for the expected dividend is a fools game. XOM's rang was from 56 to 96 in the last 12 months. XOM may never reach that high again leaving the fool that bought at 96 holding an empty bag. There was a time when equties paid out more than bonds. What ever happened to that? Dividends were sacrificed for growth; now investors have neither. This is the new age. The playing field is leveling in favor of the world markets to the detriment of US employees. Americans are in survival mode. Congress will see to that. Today we have a false economy...until the money runs out and the debt service is greater than the GNP. What then? Create more? The Market is an ellusion of wealth....ask any home owner!

If Geithner Plan Fails, What's Plan B?

I assume that the banks,at least know if this 'toxic waste' is throwong off any payments. If not then they are worthless and worthless securities will be bought by taxpayers. If they are paying they have a speculative 'bond' value. Why should the treasury back the gamblers that want to speculate?

Why the Fed Is Right to Be Worried

The Geithner plan is a dart game! The toxic mortgages and loans can't be defined ( yield/quantity/non-per... but the treasury will guarantee low interest loans for 'investors' to bid on them? Madness!! That is like playing darts blind folded. What is really happening is the Treasury is sucking up this worthless waste with more taxpayer debt (claiming the issue is solved) and hoping it will evaporate in the future time and tides. The national debt is snowballing and growing greater every second: it is a thousand year mortgage! The central cause these maturations is the dislocation of income and misdirected resources. The human factor.
