  • Relative Safety: ETFs That Are Standing Up To The Selling Pressure [View article]
    Interesting, but I'd rather have cash under the mattress losing 2% to inflation or in TIPS going nowhere versus putting more chips on the table of the biggest rigged casino on the planet.

  • Where Is the Foreclosure Mess Leading? [View article]
    Old thread, but the FED is buying $40 Billion a month in perpetuity of Mortgage Backed Securities, and FHA and USDA supplying a lot of the loans.

    There is your answer right there: housing bubble part two, benefitting the banks (again) and punishing the responsible and the taxpayers (again).

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Remember, those arrogant schmucks on Wall Street are "doing God's work".

    They are too self-important to take responsibility and fail the way normal people have to.

  • Chipotle Gets Einhorned: Why David Einhorn's Thesis Is Flawed [View article]
    You can lead a horse to water but...

    The economy sucks. Disposable income is starting to dry up. If people can spend $5 to get filled up instead of $10 they will.

  • Wells Fargo Continues To Eat Up The Competition [View article]
    Mad at theft and fraud and propping of corrupt institutions with taxpayer money.

    What's the difference between street thugs who beat old ladies for their purse and banks that steal with the ledger book and lawyer? None.

    Yes, it galls me and angers me that otherwise "decent" people invest in corrupt institutions who break the law and cheat regular folks out of their labor.

    When you are TBTF and get near free money from the FED backdoor to lend out at 5%-28% how can you not make money?

    Wells also found guilty of intentional overdraft fraud of their customers:

    Additionally, being sued for mortgage fraud:

    Some people there should be in JAIL and the Wells license revoked.

    Problem is, the TBTF banks are now our government.

    Rot in hell Wells Fargo and TBTF banks.

    I don't, but why do "we" do this?

    Where is the rule of law?

    Are we going to push this until there are riots and collapse?

    PC sales plummet - the economy is awful, it isn't just tablets.

    Lenovo - I love my ThinkPad, but Lenovo is owned by the Chinese government which is the P.L.A. (military). If the government is worried about Huwai (sp?) and Chinese networking companies, they should also have their antenna up about any Lenovo Laptop/Desktop. And...isn't it a crying shame that I.B.M. sold to China?

    Economy - why do we not have moral adults in charge in Washington and Wall Street?

    Not that I believed anything the government said before but the 7.8% unemployment number is beyond the pale.

    "Brussels wants states to hand over more fiscal sovereignty"

    Oh sure, that will work.

    Chipotle = Fad

    Somewhat humorous how corporate restauranteurs come up with these bling fad places that rise, peak, then fall.

    In the meantime, employees with company stock and investors suffer the consequences; the initial investors got out at the top as that is why they started the places and expanded like wildfire to begin with.

    Can you say "Olive Garden" next?

    wyostocks - not justify, rather, pointing to the moral hazard. If someone loses their job and can get unemployment, which is more logical: busting their ass at $9/hour to pay taxes that go to banks and foreign countries, or enjoying life for 99 weeks?

    BlueOkie said: "When people can draw unemployment for 99 weeks why work?"

    And when the CONgress and the FED bailout banks, insurers, automakers, and Wall Street - while punishing savers and the responsible - why shouldn't people draw unemployment for 99 weeks?
