Wow, don't people inherit stocks any longer?

Many people sell stocks after inheriting them.

How Susceptible is China to the Global Crisis?

Pettis,

I live in Brazil and long-only fund managers are really pessimistic.

The market fell almost like Russia just after receiving the investment grade rating from S&P. This shows the credibility of these agencies.

Some hedge fund managers here were short the market or specific shares like Vale. Can you disclose which hedge funds were pessimistic?

Morgan Stanley: Exploding the Short-Seller Myth

To say that shorting is not a bad thing, is a lie. It's like the bully in school going after the weak kids money.

In the rules of capitalism, it's fair, Darwin's natural selection right? But why not leave the irresponsible companies alone if you don't own the stock?

Ok, you could use the argument that in the long run weaker companies who survived can do more damage to the system.

But in my view, if systemic risk is on the table, allowing short sales can be the shortcut to hell. Stock markets should be something that help the economies, not a casino, where you are just gambling on who's to fail. IT's about investing in companies for christ sake.

The state will own everything and you'll receive a monthly wage to pay for your expenses and limited amounts of food, guns and tapped water.

Not Everyone Is In Trouble

Why nobody thinks about the solution in these times?

How about sovereign funds buying one of the US banks? Too far-fetched? I MEAN, THE US HAS NO FRIENDS? Everyone wants to see it go down, is that it?

How about Goldman merging with Morgan Stanley?

I believe things get better only May 2009, which is overly optimistic considering most comments.

Six Thoughts on Current Market Weakness

Financials have clearly bottomed.

I'd go long the Financial Spider (XLF) ASAP if I invested in US equities.

Lehmann went down and it barely approached the July lows. How worse can it get after AIG?

Risk is dispersed on the ETF... With 3 banks (LEH, MER and AIG) having their situation "solved" I'd take that risk.

Companies We Care About: Starbucks, Apple, Google, & Amazon

I'd look closely at Whole Foods.

Upscale people set the trend, organic food will eventually be for everyone.

Why It's Time to Buy Google, Apple

Seriously,

I'm brazilian and considered investing in the Google IPO. Shares were 90, I didn't get the papers done on time and couldn't grab'em... They skyrocketed since then, and today at 400 I don't think it's a one in a lifetime opportunity..Financial... might be though.

Why Bail Out AIG's Bondholders?

Bill Gross might have some AIG bonds in his funds lol.

Why Bail Out AIG's Bondholders?

Finally lucid comments about the AIG bailout...

Bondholders should have lost their money.

The Nationalization of AIG

Hey,

are you sadists?

Do you have any idea what would happen if AIG failed? The FED did the right thing, it's even foolish to discuss the merit of the deal.
