The 'Good Bank': An Alternative Solution to the Banking Crisis

Geithner and Bernanke are essentially doing or about to do exactly what you propose in this article, so why don't you write an article praising their efforts instead of being so negative about everything that is going on, and trying unsucessfully to be so much cleverer than the administration.

The Debate over Banking Reform

Good article. Something in the way of control of these institutions has to be done and this framework is a good start. But the present dithering over whether to reinstate the very simple "uptick rule" makes me wonder if any bureaucracy created by the government can effectively control anything except their own empire building.

Time to Bury the Rotting Carcasses of Dead U.S. Banks

Just what we need in this crisis, more negativity, nothing positive from this author called Sean. There is a way out of all difficulties and this author touched on none of them. He was expert though in confusing the issue even more than it is at the present time.

Accounting Rule Changes Creating False Rally in Financials

What does the author propose? That we stay in the same quagmire and do nothing to change the mess we are in?

God knows we need some positives to take place to get out of the excessive fear mode we are presently enduring.

A Primer for Trading Citi This Week
