      Alcoa: Analyst Downgrades and Price Cuts; Looks Like a Bottom
      Gumby - GM, Ford (UAW, Inc) have been slow to adapt to making what people want/need, and doing so at competitive prices. They aren't failing becasue they are American businesses. They are failing because they are not as competent at what they do as others have been.

      AA, BA, GE, AAPL, DD, DE, CAT and many others in the USA are not in that situation. But, they're all on sale right now.

      Nassim Taleb: Renegade Trader with Renegade Ideas - That Work
      If he were playing football, he'd be throwing a "hail mary" pass on every down, mostly punting after 3-and-out, but scoring several touchdowns per game. His time-of-position would be horrible compared to the average opponent. He'd win a couple of games per season - no bowl appearances.

      What to Look for in Friday's Jobs Report
      The happy rancher is right. Private investment will fund energy projects that make sense very quickly if they can be approved in our lifetime. Get the Feds the heck out of the way and watch. These will create JOBS, create ADDED tax revenues, improved US$ value, require less governement borrowing, improve the trade deficit and strengthen US political influence globally.

      Securities and Exchange Commission and Mark to Market Changes
      Graupma, because of 157 and SOX, the baby has been (and continues to be) thrown out with the bath water. 157 is okay if there's a market. Sans a market, you must divide by zero, which doesn't work well at all. I thought TARP was supposed to help create a market for some of these frozen instruments, but apparently that got sidelined.

      Obama Honeymoon Likely To Be Cut Short By Bond Market
      Yes, the accelorated demand for (government) financing will tend to create/require higher prices (rates), except for that portion of funding that is offset by a (significantly) greater supply of "money" looking to go to work. The future financing requirements will happen in the currency of the day, not just with today's money supply. And we know who prints the stuff.

      Housing Data Shows Downturn Could Be Prolonged
      There's a couple of parts to this - the slide down (and when it will bottom) and the recovery of values to some higher level. It's easy to say it may take a long time to recover the boom period level of values. But that doesn't mean the bottom isn't near.

      Debt Deflation and Capital Injections
      What? Of course insolvency equals negative net worth or equity value. But you'll have to explain the UBS situation and timing (a lot) better. The numbers above do not necessarily indicate insolvency or when.

      Hedge Funds: Forced Selling Provides Opportunities
      Good stuff. Not new news at this point, but it does seemed confirmed by market action. This forced cleansing would seem to set up the extraordinarily punished stocks for a bright future coming out of this period.

      Buffett and the Limits to 'Awaiting Better Times'
      Also, I've heard Buffet say that he doesn't look at it as buying stocks, he looks at it as buying the business. He's said that he wouldn't even care if the stock market closed for a year or two, because he likes the businesses behind his stocks and that they'd survive just fine. They're on sale now, even if the sale is better in a month or two. So what, no one's timing is perfect.

      Why Gold Stocks Failed (And Why I'm Still Holding On)
      Don't miners make their profit on the margin of market price above their cost of production? If so, small moves up or down in the market price will have a more dramatic effect on miner's profit. Theri stocks reflect their earnings potential - not just their production volume.

      The Die Is Cast
      Wow. All this negativism, some based on reality, but more in "the sky is falling" variety. And then, on the other hand there's Buffet putting his toe in the water. Hmmm ...
