On So-Called Bureaucrats and the Morality of Capitalism

Some behaviors are immoral: One choses not to sell drugs, porno or export cigarettes as these actions are "wrong" ( according to the Judeo-Christian ethic) despite the high ROI. The despicable Congressmen who repealed Glass Stegall for their lobbyist and Croneys are vacuous and forget they were voted in to help and serve the public and not rich special interests.

greed is intrinsic to humans but tempered moral (?) greed must not be excessive. While the small time crooks and thieves serve time, the "too big to jail" crowd continue their behavior unabated. Abolish lobbyists and clean out the unholy Congress.

Sam Stovall: 5 to 10 Percent Decline Possible, But Only a Pause on the Way Up

"If Stovall were honest..."

Now there's a leap. He is with the Ratings Agencies who brought us the subprime mess and are now being sued. They have a mega- conflict of interest and have no business remaining as part of Wall Street.

Fitch Expects Slower than Usual Recovery of Housing Sector

Fitch?/ Yeah they are real credible. Weren't they (as Moodys and s&P) guilty- or about to be found guilty of fraud and taking money for grading crap AAA?

Book Review: Barry Ritholtz's 'Bailout Nation'

Nice analysis. Now that we know how, will anyone do anything? Glass-Stegal congressmen are culpable and the LAST HOUR 11.59 way it was passed is due for an article.

Sad- SEC still takes party n picnic money from the very brokers and businesses they are supposed to regulate (very Madoff of you SEC). Sure just hire a new CEO for SEC. Isnt anyone concerned about the massive corruption going unpunished? And we wonder why it continues. Asleeep.

Zero Hedge vs. CNBC - Durden Wins Round 1

Face it. CNBC does not care to bring information. That is merely a secondary goal to ratings. So let's cut to the chase. All the men in red noses and the girls in heels and bikinis. Wow, bet that will goose ratings. Entertainment only. For education watch Bloomberg.

Zero Hedge vs. CNBC - Durden Wins Round 1

Durden would be naive to expect that he would get a whole sentence completed in a debate with the gay one. CNBC is the home of the magnificent Talk Over specialists i.e Interupters: Kudlow, Kneale and the greatest interupter of them all, Kernan.

These clowns will not allow a guest with a different viewpoint get a word in. Thanks Joe kernan: While you were shouting down the guest warnings of the coming MBS debacle in '07" Come onnn. It won't exceed 400 Million dollars." And No, kernan these were NOT all perma-bears. We could have received valuable contrary info. These clowns will never allow contrary opinions to flourish. Red noses and orange hairdos all. Gatekeeping producers are complicit.

How to Predict Prices of Commodities

Is the Fed and Homeland Security acting tyrannically? I dare say so. If the people did not fear the govt i.e., the IRS i doubt if the they would collect a dime. Maybe just like a good parent- child relationship, fear of reprisals at times are a good thing.

Are Humans in Control of the Market? Not So Much

TradeMark
I wonder if the algorithms focus upon Index ETFs or individual stocks as well? What is your Clawhammer/Time machine take away from this revelation? Is the game fixed and should we trade diamonds instead, or does it merely mean I am down the line as the last to know tradable info (nothing new there).
