  • Where's the Bottom? Still Anybody's Guess
    Once again, I will state this without all the hype. We are not going to collapse; we are going into a long phase of reduced expectations, because we don't have the money we thought we had. A lot of people thought they had it made, which is always a mistake. The times ahead of us will simply prove once again that there are ups and downs in any economy; this one is simply deeper, wider, and will be longer than any we have seen in a long time. Welcome to the real world, folks.

  • Year to Date Performance of Dow 30 Members
    AIG employees used to claim that the letters, "AIG" stood for "Ain't It Great?" Looks like the Awful Insurance Giant is headed for the Already Interred Graveyard.

  • Don’t Buy What Wall Street Is Selling
    I like this article. Why?, you may ask. Here's why: Mr. Hutchinson is obviously an expert in financial matters, and he has written in this article the details of what I could only intuit, all those months ago, when I was writing what amounted to red flag posts, to this and other financial sites, screaming that it looked a hell of a lot to me like the whole financial system was headed for the sewer. Well, the entire financial system IS now IN the sewer. There is literally no telling what avalanches of losses are coming next, due to the criminal wrongdoings of investment pogues of all stripes. This beats anything I have ever seen, and I have been around a long time. There is only one answer to this: Long, long prison sentences.

    A classic example of a drowning person, grasping at straws.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
    So, Yahoo (YHOO) shareholders are suing, whining that someone else did not hand them a free cash bundle, all nicely wrapped in red ribbon. What a bunch of crybabies. Why don't they just get jobs, and contribute something of tangible value, THEMSELVES, for once in their miserable lives?

  • Saving the Economy with IRA Funds
    Mr. Muse, this is outrageous. You are a burglar in techie, yuppie clothing. Please do not post any more articles on this site. You stink.

  • Wachovia Joins the Club of Overpromising Financials
    Referring to tattors' comment, above: "Wachovia and BAC are so tied up with many southeastern, fratboy company connections." - - - If ever a true sentence was written, that's it. And those "fratboy company connections" spider-web out, so far, it's practically impossible to track them. The states of TEXAS, FLORIDA, and NEW YORK are particularly infested/infected by said connections. And the fratboy bunch owns so many real estate holding companies, around the enitre United States, that it is literally not funny.

  • May Take Several Years for the Financials to Work Out Their Kinks
    Five years, minimum. Ten years, not out of the question. Never, again, the same, and probably just as well.

    Looks like Citigroup is headed for the thirty-cents-on-the-do... heap.

  • Here's Why Trouble Is Brewing
    You are correct. The water hole is indeed drying up. I am at a loss as to why more people cannot see this simple truth.

  • Jim Cramer's 10 Predictions for 2008
    In his prior life, Cramer was a snake oil salesman in the Arizona Territory, where many of his customers' contorted skeletons can still be found, just under the sand.

  • My Ten Predictions for 2008
    Very perceptive article. In this market, the "darker the glass" looked through, the clearer what lies ahead is seen. But the denial factor is still thick, out there. Times have been good for so long that even very intelligent people are having a terrible time realizing that we're in for a ten-year correction. But what did they THINK was going to happen? Maybe that things would keep rolling along, until the median price of a house was $5,000,000? Or that inflation was gone, never to return? Or that credit card companies would keep issuing cards to them, with higher and higher limits? Whatever they THOUGHT, the reality is now at the doorstep, as this article points out.

  • Uncovering Material Information at Merrill Lynch
    Be patient. They'll report everything, as soon as everybody who matters in the Club get their Golden Parachute$ on. Until then, keep the shovel handy, to dig through all the B.S. on the financial statements.
