Pimco's Bill Gross: Bailout Plan Benefits Main Street [view article]
There are three thousand community banks that are capital starved or near capital starved.When Wall Street absorbs the $700 billion, Main Street banks will pay dearly to maintain their capital ratios.
It makes more sense to distribute the $700 billion to American community banks so they can lend for local transactions or use it to recapitalize Wall Street. Reply

The problem is: They won't find that 700B money who wants to buy T bond at 3 or 4%. Japs? Chinese? Arabs? They will walk away.If the Treasury can't bring foreign dollars back into America, this plan will be USELESS!

Pimco's Bill Gross: Bailout Plan Benefits Main Street [view article]
Makes excellent sense to me. As for his offer of free service intelligence, so long as it is complemented with appropriate oversight, it sounds like a good offer. ReplyPimco's Bill Gross: Bailout Plan Benefits Main Street [view article]
You'd think that the vast amounts of money sitting on the sidelines would jump at such a great opportunity. How much did Pimco make again on the Fannie Freddie Bail out -- was it $6B or was it $7B - I guess one good philanthropic turn deserves another -With the announcement of the Fannie bail out Gross stated that the Category 4 financial storm had been downgraded to a Tropical Storm -- what a difference a week makes...

RF is up 30% from last Thursday and over 100% from the middle of July. The market is anticpating that Congress will approve this bail out so I beleive that "sell the news" will be the reaction.RF will see $10 before it sees $17. And that is without the shorts in the market. Reply

The otherside of the coin is, if you are playing it for a quick trade on the bailout news, then you can rest assured more SQUEEZE is left in that puffy RF charmin. Me contridicting myself is sorta like this market: maddening. ReplyHoping Regions Financial Runs Up Again [view article]
RF had one the largest % of shorts (as of last Wednesday before the rules changed) with about 12% of the available float in play. Was thinking about playing RF myself like DUDE above, cause I bank there and am generally impressed, but that short % spooked me. Of course we dont know how much of that run up to near 20 he mentioned was short covering...I suspect a lot...but even so I will pass. Shorts generally are smarter than the average Joe. ReplyDaltorio

Scared Stiff is right - our country seems headed toward more of a socialism mix like Mussolini's. ReplyA Black Hole Nearly Swallows Wall Street [view article]
The etfs FXE and FXA offer protection from a run on the dollar and both give a decent money market yield over 4%. Over the last 2 years, the USA lost >700 billion each year overseas to trade. The Euro union lost 15 billion this year but gained 10 billion euros the year before. It may be time to start thinking of a safe place to hide.

This is more like Mussolini's dream than Lenin's. ReplyA Black Hole Nearly Swallows Wall Street [view article]
Panic.“Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency,” the original draft of the proposed bill says.

Fantastic article, Tony. Maybe something good will come out of this if the sort of things Dodd is talking about actually happen; that the disgusting people who have created this abomination are held fully accountable instead of being bailed out once again. ReplyHur

The American Republic returns on September 11, 2008, RevisedThe American Republic
A Letter to The United States Congress and to The American People
Americans have lost their way by choice and coercion propagated by those that wish to have it all. Americans that have plenty are not bothered by the confusion and rape of the land and its people. The Americans that outnumber the wealthy are the ones that suffer in America. The idea of a Republic of America was an original perfect form of government. The ones that made the choice to write on paper their ideas for a perfect form of government were themselves imperfect. The document called the Constitution is a promise on paper and in spirit to Americans to protect and to serve Americans, our Nation with truth. That has not happened, thus the discord and confusion within our nation to Americans.
Our Nation, our Homeland has been sold, raped, and ravaged by many outsiders and insider traitors, which have allowed our eagle our National symbol to be locked in a cage with little sustenance. Our Star our symbol of truth has been buried in the sand with the trash of other nations.
This is not acceptable, and will be resolved.
Our current Congress has forsaken our nation by giving little and taking so much for themselves and their financial supporters. Congress has allowed Capitalist Businesses from within and out to take over our Nation and rule by the power of selfish money and lies.
Our Great and once powerful Military are ruled by those that give false and deceptive orders coupled by untruthful commands. They, the soldiers of our fortunes are engaged in ambiguous battle campaigns fighting under and for False Flag counter intelligence fueled by deceptive propaganda rhetoric. Human lives on all sides are dying for the few that have lost their way thru choice.
Our President, our leader of our Nation has with his advisors and financial empire brokers reinforced the ultimate crime to humanity by lying to himself, his family and his country. Our business leaders have lied to our Nation and prostituted our ingenuity to others for unnatural profit.
There are too many Americans that have some or little or none, and that Ladies and Gentlemen is not acceptable. Congress and others have failed to provide even the basics for our Nation to thrive. Too many selfish secrets, many which are known amongst a few, are tearing our Nation and Planet apart. By allowing those that know what lies behind the looking glass, to control the masses at will is an affront to GOD.
There is too much advertised hatred and racial prejudice fed by ignorance and choice. Religions have taken front seat to freedom and truth, thus confusing those that wish to know the truth, by self-choice.
On September 11, 2008, in Los Angeles, California, United States of America, we Americans can and will make a choice to free our Eagle from its cage of captors, allowing it to be stronger and fly higher than ever before, and unearth and restore our Star to its rightful brilliance from the sand of trash of other Nations, and take back our country from those that have stolen it from us all. Annuit Copetis.
We have learned from the past, and we have learned from the present, now we will make a choice to either continue with America as is, or Change America to a True Republic that truly represents the sincere interests of its people and other Nations. It is not an impossible task to overcome; all it takes is an honest choice and the will to sacrifice.
We are a Legion of many, who will live a life of peace, and have respect for all living things, while having considerations for those who are different, and look for ways to truly accommodate those who are slow in understanding.
We support the poor, helpless, and defenseless people. We support the freedom of Women, we support the sane treatment of animals and the environment, and we support the freedom of religion and expression. We do not support ignorance, period.
We are a growing nation of people that encourage all Americans to become part of the New American Republic!
CHANGE FOR AMERICA FOR AMERICANS!
NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM
Judah Ben-Hur, Sui Juris
Ambassador
The American Republic
