Major Banks Now Much Too Big to Fail

It seems to me that most of the commentary is all running around in a big circle.

Regulate the banks, BUT enforce the regulations otherwise it is all a joke. AND the Joke is on US.

Let CIT Fail: The Business Model Is Broken

Both CIT and AIG should be allowed to go bankrupt, sooner better than later. But before doing it there has to away of clawing back the millions which their executives took out.

It would be nice if the GOV/we taxpayers get back apart of the $'s that were pumped into those company's. They played a huge part in destroying our economy and their names should be wiped clean off our public vocabulary.

Citigroup and Berkshire Pricing Anomalies

Why complicate when you can simplify. I can afford to buy BRKB, once in awhile however I can not buy BRKA, ever at any time.
I assume you still believe that the market puts everything in its proper place, you must have been sleeping during the last two years, when the Mr. Market got itself in the ringer, thanks to the quants and greed on wall street.

Is America Turning into a Banana Republic During This Zombie Economy?

Most of you are smoking pot, what are you talking about contract law. The laws were created to benefit the rich and powerful, the tax code is written to help the rich get richer at the expense of the rest of us. The basket of benefits which have been created to make the rich, richer at the expense of our middle class needs to be cracked. I hope that Obama is able to do it.

I have lived in several banana republics and third world countries. The actions of the Bush Administration have created the mess we are it will take a great deal of time to recover from the disaster they created. I think that Bush and the republicans never found a banana they did not like. Tax cuts to the top 5% and the heck with everyone else.
The capitalistic system was used by a few to wreck our nation for the benefit of the few.

Why BAC Will Beat: Understanding a New Bull Market Is Not Underway

Early into the Bush Administration I started saying that we as a nation were becoming more and more like a third world country. And now I am sure we have become one. It will take quite along time for the USA to rebuild all that is broken in our system, from our financial system to our health system, to say nothing of a political system which has one side of it saying NO to everything and regurgitating the same old and worn out cliches of the past.
