  • Enlightening the Gold Bugs
    Deflation or inflation? Granted, no one knows. But one thing is becoming apparent: the gov't bailouts, stimulus plans, etc. are essentially trying to replace the monstrous paper losses of the last year or so, and this obviously cannot be done because the gov't can't effectively put that much money back into the free-market system. Hence, deflation has the edge - at least in the near future. Like all things in finance, however, it's dynamic and a matter of timing, isn't it?

  • Mort Zuckerman Needs to Take Some Responsibility for His Madoff Losses
    Zuckerman will still get his charitable tax deduction on the $30m, won't he?

    That suggests another con scheme: Make a tax-deductible charitable contribution to a charity-front that launders the money back to the donating party or his co-conspirator.

  • It Might Be Impossible to Stop the Decline of Housing Prices
    Hansen is absolutely right. Housing must find its own bottom, and it willl in its own sweet time regardless of outside intervention. Any government program that props up home prices is temporary foolishness at best.

    True, SAF, if you pay off an "underwater" house, it will no longer be
    underwater. But what does that prove?

  • Gold Price Continues Its Slide
    The price of gold? It all depends. No one knows. It's all a crapshoot. The only sure thing is that gold will always be worth something even if everything else fails.

  • Real Estate Industry: Looking For Another Bailout
    Sooner or later, housing prices, like water, will find their own level. That level is what people can afford to pay, not what the government can borrow and lend to them to make a down payment. Unfortunately, it appears that we are still some distance away from housing prices finding their level.
