Goldman Sachs Busy Editing Conviction Buy and Sell Lists

Sat, 16 May 2009 17:36:12 -0400

My heart leapt a bit when I read "Goldman Sachs" and "Conviction" , it was not to be, context being what it is.

The Next Step for Google: Enterprise Revenue in the Cloud

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:05:25 -0400

Ah yes, Cloud Computing.

Sun Microsystems had the same mantra 10-12 years ago, can you say "The Network is the Computer"? It's the old pie in the sky bamboozle that gets recycled every so often.

The Mark-to-Market Bank Trade This Week

It would certainly be expedient to bend the rules. The market would pop as would Obamas poll numbers. I'd say its a good bet.

Citron has a near 100% kill rate.

The student loan scam is not a solid business model. Like all scams, they eventually implode.

Toll Brothers: Are They Serious?

Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:02:17 -0500

And what is on that "Beautiful balance sheet"..land that can't be sold but hasn't been written down. Toll Brothers is essentially in the land speculation business at this point so if you want to pony up for that bet, I have some S. FL swamp land for sale.

Remember the last time the Cramer/Toll pump and dump show was on and Bob Toll said he was buying shares at 35.00 while he was selling them at 35.00, of course many are willing to let Cramer crap on their portfolio one more time. Those guys should be in jail.

The Last Days of Morgan Stanley

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 13:26:57 -0400

MS is a failed business model trying to re-engineer into a commercial bank, thats incredibly shady on the face of it.

What if KFC decided to go into roast beef sandwiches after failing at the chicken game, would you invest? The bigger question is will Paulson invest, he won't.

bye bye Morgan Stanley, all thats left is a cameo for Mack in front of Congress.

The End.

Morgan Stanley Appears a Little Too Desperate for Cash

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:46:10 -0400

Paulson throws MS under the bus. The only reason Japanese wanted in was a piece of the bailout.

The Japanese are also sensitive to CEO Macks "issues" with the SEC.

bye bye Morgan Stanley.

The Money Is Not Moving: Worst We've Seen?

If banks don't trust each other why should anyone else?

Some things are just self-evident.

Can you say FRAUD?

Stock Market to Bernanke: Hints Aren't Good Enough

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:24:29 -0400

The eulogy was appropriate.

They have no more knobs to turn. The only thing left to do is unthinkable; uncover the fraud in the banking/political system and let it blow up.

You can't hide all that magic paper forever.

When Hedgies Attack: Morgan Stanley Drops 40% on Rumors

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:56:27 -0400

If shorts can take you out, you need to be taken out.

You also left out the foundational info on CEO Mack.

The SEC gave "preferential treatment" to Wall Street executive John Mack during an insider trading investigation three years ago because Mack was about to become CEO of the Morgan Stanley investment banking firm, the SEC's inspector general concluded in a report obtained by ABC News.

The Japanese may not want in on this scandal in the making.

How Low Can Google Go?

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:54:30 -0400

Google is nearing its end of "internet life cycle".

Advertisers are fed up, they have no grip on users other than goodwill and I'm sure the pampered employees are calling their helicopter parents whining about their worthless stock options. it could go the way of Altavista.

Its not the 30-40 something investors. Its the 30-40 something mutual fund managers that take advice from Cramer. Due diligence for them is watching "Mad Money".

I kid you not.

Next Victim, Please!

>This cannot continue. The system is eating its young.

This needs to continue. Your analogy is false.

Bad business models fail and better models emerge in a free market economy. Some (not all) banks took on a casino model, now they pay.

Thats a very good thing.

Why Friday Came Early

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 08:40:14 -0400

Ron Paul said, "It doesn't matter if we're poor as long as we have our freedom and free markets.
Then we can rebuild our prosperity. But if they take away our rights, then we're really in trouble."

Losing wealth and freedom is the real conspiracy, the lie put forth by neo-con controlled is nothing but a precursor to Government tyranny.

Barney Frank's Money Quote

Whatever money is approved goes straight into the Goldman/Buffet/Paulson coffers, the rest is a side show.

Is the Market an Accurate Pricing Mechanism? Paulson Doesn't Think So

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:07:04 -0400

Paulson is just trying to save his hide.

Illiquid assets aren't assets at all, its a misnomer.

How so many are fooled by Wall Streets alpha predator Paulson is beyond me.

Bush didn't sell it.

The Paulson Buddies Bailout isn't happening.

More on Interdependence and This Crisis

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:02:29 -0400

Paulsons plan wouldn't prevent a meltdown anyway so why add insult to injury if such an event were to occur?

If there is to be a melt down, so be it. We have survived worse.

This Uncertainty Is Unacceptable

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:39:28 -0400

The banks won't say what they are holding. They are just playing chicken with Congress.

Paulson is complicit in the creation of these financial puffballs, he should be under indictment, not in charge.

There is groundswell developing for his impeachment.

Stay tuned, Main Street might not know much but you don't need to be a rocket surgeon to know when you are getting gouged.

Can Hank Paulson Lead?

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 13:35:27 -0400

Paulson is a financial super predator.

He created this financial WMD while running Goldman, now he wants power to keep himself out of jail and in control.

The Banking Sector Has Bottomed

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 01:03:35 -0400

The bottom in financials is not here yet.

Look near term for them to hit July lows and beyond that..

All this toxic paper is going to be marked to market if they want goodies from Paulson. The dirty laundry you are about to see will be astounding.

Congress isn't falling for the Goldman/Paulson scam.

Last I heard, this thing is a dead duck.

Morgan Cuts Targets on Host of Tech Hardware Stocks

Morgan Stanley is still in business?

Can you double-check the source maybe its one of those infinite loop randomizer recordings they turn on once a month.

Interdependence and This Crisis

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 18:47:27 -0400

Leave the market alone.

A bailout is just confirmation of a correction, let it correct and quit being such a socialist.

Giving the keys to the Treasury to financial super-predator Paulson is nauseating.

Solving the Illiquidity Problem Alone Won't Be Enough

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:45:17 -0400

The toxic stuff has to be exposed.

Who can buy something with a mystery value?

A bailout won't solve anything, Paulson will just assign value to protect his freedom (he was complicit in these instruments while running Goldman) and his buddies.

Allowing a financial predator like Paulson to run a "bail out" of his buddies is like assigning child care duties to a known pedophile.

The Google Phone: It's Not Just About Google

Android will be a failure, who needs another phone?

In Defense of the Paulson Plan

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:50:35 -0400

Paulson will end up in jail before he gets the 700 billion.

Congress is vetting him now and will uncover his involvement in the derivatives market.
