    • Energy, Inflation and the U.S. Dollar [view article]
      It is easy to call somebody else an Idiot especially when they are but after reading his suggestions, what comes to mind first is "It takes One to know one" Socialism has been proven not to work "EVER" and therefor you cannot fix a broken socialist system with more of the same. Free Market Capitalism has been proven to be the only system that works, which means smaller and less government intervention is the only solutions. More Gov. will only make matters worse. You will all not have to wait to much longer as a complete Socialist Takeover in 2009 will take its toll and drive the US economy into depression by 2010A Jun 04 09:07 AM
    • Credit Market Mayhem and the S&L Crisis: Drawing Parallels [view article]
      It is unfortunate that We Never Seem To LEARN:always confusing cause and effect. In so doing we never discover the real culprits and therefor, we never find out the real causes and so the stage is always set for a repeat of the exact same crisis some 15 to 20 years hence.
      CONGRESS is already holding hearings in an attempt to asses blame and divert attention away from the real culprits; Congress itself.
      Both during the S&L debacle as well as today It was Congress the President and the FED that basically coerced the mortgage lenders to make those ridiculous Zero Down abnormally Low interest rates Liar loans all in the name of Fairness in achieving the American Dream (Buying Votes). To compound the error we had the illustrious Greenspan encouraging everyone to use ARM's when 5% 30 mortgages were available. The S&L problem was also caused by Congress when like today ; in the name of fairness they eliminated the Usuary Laws as well as the S&L interest rates advantage in conjunction to creating massive inflation: As they are doing today.
      Until we do a proper investigation and bring the real causes to light the exact same problems will re-occure every 20 years or so until we create a Real 1930's type depression.
      This leaves two questions. #1 Will we be able to avert Depression this time? and More importantly How and Who is going to investigate congress?

    • Time to Short Financial Stocks - Starting with BofA [view article]
      There is nothing like stating the obvious. Where were you 3 and 6 months or even a year ago. In a letter dated March 2007 called "DENIAL is not just a river in Africa" I stated emphatically that the sub-prime problem was just the tip of the iceberg and that I was shorting Citi anmd Merrill among others especially the Home Builders. I'm still short.

    • The Long Bond is Falling - Why? [view article]
      UNCOMMON COMMON SENSE by Dr, Aubie Baltin

      Just a quick lesson in economics 101. If you want to sell more of anything just lower the Price and believe it or not that holds for Bonds as well: After all who wants ti invest Money at 3 or 4% when the inflation rate is 5% and climbing?       Feb 15 09:12 AM
    • News That Moved Friday's Market [view article]
      All he did was rehash old new making no inferances. If GE's growth is only 3 or6 or even 10% then at a P/E of 20 means that it is overpriced. The same is true for IBM

      You are 100% right. I have been trying to open an account with with them and thus far even though I have filled out an application and submitted it I cannot get a phone # to be able to contact them to even ask a question. I am afraid to imagine if I ever had a problem

    • The Virtual Round Table: Four Leading Anaysts Map Out the Markets [view article]
      If you really want to have a discussion too learn something; you must have people that represent opposing views, not just varying degrees of Bullishness.
      Nobody seems to understand the relationship between Savings and Investment and therefor they can't see that the world and especially the USA is eating it's capital. Printing money or creating credit out of thin air does not produce Capital. Nobody seems to have noticed that it is taking ever increasing amounts of credit and money supply for each $ increase in GDP.
      If you really want to learn something you must have at least one thinker who is not wedded to a bull market.

    • On Corporate/Treasury Bond Spreads and Risk Premiums [view article]
      I think there is a tremendous opportunity now, in doing a spread between treasuries and Junk.
      Buy 10 year treasuries and short Junk but how do I as a retail investor go about doing that. How much money would i have to put up on lets say a $1 million bond spread.
