I dont think people who aren't willing to pay up on their loans should get credit, why have % rates inside country low just to give it to people who will throw the money out?

you dont have to loan to EVERY SINGLE PERSON. just because an option is there doesn't mean you have to take it. select your options, take a step back, remove the fear so you evaluate where the real value is going to be.]]> Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:36:13 -0500

and you guys keep seeing the second delayed messages now at this point, so other messages keep getting crosswired. I see this in your response.

I see this on OTHER web boards from all the spamming I have been doing on this web page. So it does have actual possibility.

I'll play your gamble because that is what I saw originally.

We take out a 2.7T loan in their currencies.
we then lower our treasury interest rate to 0.
when this happens investors wont want to hedge their currencies with ours because guess why? they wont make any profit doing it.

buy their gold. we buy all the gold. they get our dollars.
use their currencies from that 2.7T loan to invest back into their own markets and buy their equities. their markets go up, their dollars stop inflating and start deflating.

we sell the gold back to them, we get our dollars back. now their economies are stabilized.

we sell their equities and market securities. we get their cash.
we buy their exports with their own dollars. they get a reset of their finances, we get our economic goods.

I was talking to god and the devil in this last game, and I believe it too.

what was your question? I'm sorry I missed it.

lets start over again, what is: Open market operations--purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities?

The Federal Reserve's principal tool for implementing monetary policy. This is not a stock company this a global national level tool to effect some change, do you know what that change is?]]> Mon, 03 Nov 2008 02:05:13 -0500

I don't care what your risk is in leaving your position, if you want to be paid for your future loss in earnings by leaving current job or by the unpredictability of future paycheck at the job your going to, work that crap out before you sign on the dotted line.
seriously, get your "golden parachute" up front, no backend deals. I would imagine that alone would stop a big chunk of the problem. Especially if board members saw that in their first year or (perhaps first 2 years) that the executives weren't justify the sign on bonus, they would get them out of there in a heart beat.
I also don't know if I can agree with trying to tie their paycheck to a number based on the net value generated. My reason, is because there are alot of ways to measure value. and what do you when your in a recession and they are only down 5% but the market is down 20%? then they are UP 15% of the rest of the market but are they to be punished for this? I think it is things like that cause to many problems with tieing paychecks to value.
But, if someone can prove that they really ARE doing something to justify that paycheck they are receiving then more power to them. wish I was as productive as that. ]]> Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:55:43 -0500 If someone is so bad that we have to pay them to leave why the hell are they being hired in the first place?

all in all I agree with the author. let me get that out right now.

what I want to ask is where did the problem stem from that caused Lehmans to go under? wasn't it poor lending practices in the entire banking industry in general? why were the practices so bad? why was the money so easy to come by in the first place? and what caused that event?

when we lowered the cost of the money to recover the economy from a set of planes crashing in to the WTC and Pentagon, why did it lower the cost of money for housing and real estate projects too? shouldn't it have only lowered the cost of money for businesses and corporations to stimulate economic development in the effected areas? entities that create some overall economic value not just real estate rental complexes for private investors portfolio. (no matter how personally fond I am of that idea myself lol)

I'm not assigning blame. im asking about shoulds. what should have happened in these scenarios? Maybe some of this is just fallout from a single event 7 years and we are just looking at the aftermath yelling out about mess to clean up instead of thinking about how to stop it from occuring again in the future.

I don't have all the answers, infact I hardly have any clue of what is really going on with the banks.

but, perhaps this was a 25B reason why we should just take a couple minutes to just sit and reflect and just try to understand what happened first?

Right now if that same event happened are measures in place to stop the present day situation?

- I am all up for any reflections or ideas or notes worthy, I just dont have any long term answers myself. quite frankly I just dont know enough about the laws to offer any ideas. do you?]]> Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:44:36 -0500

What I am wondering is what does the author suggest that we do about the problems that are currently here? what steps can we take today to change what we are doing now, so that the problem in the future taken care?

I mean, this was a lot of work this article, so I don't want to knock whoever wrote. but what I dont understand is what can I do to change the situation?

I think my issue stems not from the fact that I think the author was angry when he wrote it, but that he doesn't explain the situations so that I know how to fix or so that I can conceptualize the processes.

I can't understand the true nature of the issues, but I know all the facts.
