Seething Over Liddy's AIG-Goldman Connection

Save your fury for the nest of BO (OR EMAMUEL'S)
CHICAGO STYLE APPOINTMENTS). Have you ever seen so many tax freaks ("I just simply overlooked them, sorry") or socialist tendencies in contradiction to our successful history in one government administration. Good grief, you are scattering smoke to distract or blind your readers.

NY AG Cuomo, who has sharply criticized Wall Street for excessive spending, invites several top financial execs to celebrate his birthday with him - for a $1,000 guest fee, or $10,000-$50,000 dinner fee. Checks are payable to "Andrew Cuomo 2010."

iPod Sales Only 14.2% of Apple's Q4 Total Revenue

14+% is what many agencies, sales people, and companies (hope to) get paid, earn, show as cash flow. It is a desireable goal. Take a 14.2% cut in your income, even if you are smarter than 'others' it has a negative impact. Apple is a fad company with a high priced product that faddists love to embrace. Lotsa luck.

Options Trader: Thursday Outlook

You were hot to trade WM options until about 3 weeks ago. Lose your courage?

Which CEOs Have the Best and Worst Approval Ratings?

Hey Maney, you along with most opinionaters, like to compare unfavorability ratings with President Bush's 30% approval rating WITHOUT acknowledging the congressional approval rating between 9 and 14%. GOOD GRIEF ... when you are looking for low marks why not exhibit real understanding of what low really is. Congress wins the lump of coal and columnists who think they are writing dramatic revelations overlook the most dramatic, obvious reference. Congress is so low it should be unplugged from life support.

WaMu Borrower Purposely Defaults, Gets Foreclosed On, Sues

Amazing how the osama fans rise up in indignation - or - blame Bush neither of whom has anything to do with the problem the Boston screwups and a nuisance lawyer have hatched. Not so incidentally, the implied modification is the result of a Schumer, Scewlosie-and Reid plan generated by the democrat congress. Another example of pissing on forest fires started by dumkoffs in congress.

WaMu’s Cards: Restructuring Is About the Only One Left

Responding bloggers hit the nail. Mr. Kirchner is short (and long) some WM securities. Short sellers are not to be honored, no matter what they say. Carniverous vultures.

Options Trader: Tuesday Outlook

Options trader was wrong yesterday (7/1) and he is wrong most of the time. Reason: He blames BUSH for everything thre market and dollar value does. (Surely he didn't knoew any of the 3000 people who were killed on (9-11). Face it, you can not follow the script of partisan clap rap and invest wisely.

Greenlight Puts Red Light on Financials - Fast Money Recap (5/23/08)

RE: Greenlight or greenhorn, whatever, his comments as a short seller at the ripe old age of 30 somethings have been sued, challenged and defeated by hisgtory for at least ten years.

Capital Source: Analysis and Valuation

Not bad for a guy who admits 2 dub plunges in the area before but CSE is far from Tbr or that kind of mortgage company with headquartes filled with bright guys. So in spite of your generaly favorable conclsion a beg you to not buy shares. Your history mplies te kiss of doom. Yes, I own CSE. I advised those who asked to not buy Tberg Mortgage. They did, like you did. Oh woe ......

CapitalSource Can't Cover Its Dividend

Given the record (I've been an investor and manager of client portfolios for more than 50 years) and the lousy history of accountants, analysts and economists who feed the press and talking heads I would recomend Mr Harden join the real world by holding his hypothetical guess about companies in the deep, dark closet of other failed pharohs. The unholy predictions before EVERY quarter are followed by the classic one liner ... "analysts were surprised" ... and ... the even more simplistic stupidity ... "XYZ missed their quarter which analysts predicted to be xxx". How come the analysts, accountants, and economists don't get burned at the stake? Did CSE tell us how the dividend would be paid? YES. Did CSE tell us how the year 08 looked from their business point of view? Yes. If these writers of no accomplishment want a panel in the Hall of Fame, they might try working in the real world for a few years before peddling amateurish crapola.
