CIT Execs Should Resign

Hell, I haven't seen one BOD member or CEO of any financial firm fired over any of this BS. As far as I'm concerned they have compromised this country's national security and should be treated as treasonous SOB's.

And if found guilty in a trial by their peers, be executed.

Yahoo's Dispute of Eric Jackson's Articles

So, basically, YAHOO ! is saying that yes this is an open market sale.

The only difference between YAHOO ! rhetoric and EJ's is how/when someone is liable to pay taxes.

It's not surprising that Google is so far ahead of the shallow-enders's @ YAYHOO !!!

Bank of America's Gain Is Taxpayers' Loss

And so, I would like to ask everyone here who commented, do you still believe in lobbyist and lobbying and soft political money ? And please, I don't want to hear that the SC allowed legally.

This is total BS and ya'll know it. All of this BS is turning us into a 4th world nation. Wake Up, America !!

Citi's TARP Convert and Chrysler's Indiana Bond Holders

poor dude sauid :

Fannie and Freddie represent the value of nearly 2/3rds of the real estate in America. As of 1 April, they get to value their holdings at their true long-term value (rather than at some arbitrary value created by a panicked and frozen market (whether that was conceived and planned by certain people or not)).

Brown shoot.

SEC vs. Mozilo: Show Trial?

I think Mr. Krasting is right. The " Mozilo defrauded investors argument " is water over the dam. Fining him for SEC violations is guaranteed to keep him busy in court and drain cash from him.

And somehow, I like the idea of him being tortured with the "cuts from a thousand SEC financial and legal knives".

Coffee Wars: McDonald's vs. Starbucks

I buy a variety of high quality green beans averaging 3.70/lb., roast them at home all for about .12/cup. I can make whipped cream, caramel or whatever flavor I want for much less and have a beverage that is superior to anything on the market.

I'd only get McD's because my thermal bottle ran dry. We as Americans fall for ridiculously expensive marketing and products that are of average quality.

Book Review: Joe Ponzio's F Wall Street

Ok, I ordered the book based on your recommendations as well, market ace's comments notwithstanding.

ok, so in further review of your review you said " This book is now my number 1 or 2 recommendation for all new to intermediate investors and earns its place on my very selective recommended reading sidebar, where even The Intelligent Investor doesn’t have a place."

What is the other book you recommend in this category ?

Thanks.

Two Hedge Funds Close Shop

I read this gentleman's analysis of the AF447 disappearance.

Too bad all investments do not have this degree of insightful risk/reward information.

Solid analysis, Tim.
