If Asset Prices Are Dropping, Why Are Bank Stocks Rising?

"Leave the political ideology out of it." - FB5000

What Is The Largest "Contributor" To The Economy At This Point? Could It Be The Government? Since I am living in this economy I think it might be a good idea to discuss the things that Government Does.

You are right to leave out the "Spin". Action And Event Are The Only Measures.

The Repub/Dem paradigm is a Fallacy. Their Actions Are The Same.

"Wow Pain. What insight. Well I'm convinced. Let's load up the truck with guns, ammo and spam and let's you and me head to Idaho. We'll wait out Armageddon and come back for the pickings. You bring the banjo and I'll bring some assorted ball gags." - FB5000

Excellent Fecious Statement. In response I would say "Don't Be A Wus - Running And Hiding Leaves Your Fellow Citizens To The Wolves"

"Armageddon" has many forms and hardship is not distributed homogeneously.

I would ask you:

What do you know of "The Presidents Working Group On Financial Markets" and how they carry out their "Mandated Mission"? Do you think there is a corollary between the "Repeal Of Mark To Market" and the "Record Profits" reported and the current rise in the "Market"? What do you know about "Shadow Banking" and "Secularized Investment Vehicles" - Are you aware that "Derivatives" are the ROOT CAUSE of the debacle we are currently in? Are you worried about the USA being able to service the Debt with the rate tax revenues are falling and the loss of "Producers" in the economy?

Yes it is about "Making Money" - If you do not pay attention to "How Money Is Created" and only look at "How It Is Shuffled", the dollars you make may not have the "Value" you thought they might.

Pawns Are Meant To Be Sacrificed.

Safety Is A Function Of Awareness.

FB5000 and shrike,

Might want to look into my last comment - It has nothing to do with "Pretend" and everything to do with "Reality Of The PPIP".

A "Conspiracy" Is 2 Or More Working Toward A Goal Or Purpose. "Staying On To Of The Pile" Drives Much.

The More You Know The Less Certain You Will Be.

Humanity In Regards To Money And Power Does Not Change; To Assume Benevolence Is Foolish.

The PPIP Program Irks Me In That Tax Payers Are Being "Put On The Hook" For 50% + Administrative Costs TOO PURCHASE STUFF NOBODY ELSE WANTS !!!

So the "Firms" Involved in this program are allowed to "Skim Fees" for "Managing" CRAP WE (The Tax Payer) PAYED TOO MUCH FOR !!!

Shuffle Them With Their Buddies (It Is A Small Market Of Less Than 20) => Tax Payer Will Cover The Losses.

I think if ;I had someone willing to "Make Me Whole Again" at someone else's expense => My Sock Would Rise As Well.

Fantasy Accounting and now "Governmental Garbagemen" => We Must Be Saved (Oh Dang, Not The Tax Payer).
