      Number of U.S. Homes With Negative Equity Is Stunning

      I would hope that you would add:

      Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for endorsing high loan to value and other practises in Fannie and freddie therefore giving the market par to shoot for. Who was the major purchaser of Country Wide loans? Hmmm.

      I wonder

      Home loans for all ~ ~ ~

      keep the practise going!

      does not the weight of health care and the retirement population within the industry lead to a lack of the ability to invest in R&D and therefore reduce their ability to become nimble?

      my comments were meant to stir thought. They may be the largest factory employing industry in the nation, but therein lies the problem. The fat ones can't move, and maybe they need to fail to stir productivity and efficiency. We all know that we are not near the deepest part of the bottom, and it will be time before we reach it.

      You are correct in that they do not need fish, but need to learn how to fish. Unfortunately, you know it as well as I do, that will never happen. Listen to the song Fat Man, it is the perfect analogy for the big three. Big corporations are obese, and the big three are the fattest of them all. You have to be nimble in this economy, and for the next few years if not the next decade or two. They just ain't got it.

      Gas will not stay below it's current value. It just is not going to happen. All Venezuela or Iran has to do is sponsor terror attacks on ports and pipelines and you will see oil at 120. It is all timing, nothing is going to happen until after the Obama adornation.

      But wait, maybe we could nationalize the car industry and the banking industry . . . Thanks Paulson, way to change the rules at whim! This is going to be fun!

      I am so curious about this auto maker deal. Since global warming is such a huge issue, and the comments recently from the dem side of the isle indicate the demand for more expensive energy, why bail them out? Their infrastructure is dated and they don't produce green elements?

      Pelosi is fighting herself her, and it would seem prudent to enact legislation that would cause the industry to fail so it could be replaced by a more efficient industry. Similar to Obama's comments on the coal industry.

      I just don't get it. I guess the union and their pensions are more important to them.

      Market Skepticism About BofA / Merrill Deal
      lewis . . . incompetent?

      Hmmm, he is the CEO of BofA. Seriously. If you were half the man that he was, you still would be no where near where he is. SA is continuing to show me that the readers have fallen a few grades to be par with the contributors.

      Alternative Buyers for Lehman (and Not Just the Usual Suspects)
      wow, I see great humor here.

      Someone actually has a sense of humor!

      XOM's R&D will never buffer a buyout though, and to tell you the truth XOM likes geoscientists in management, not MBA's. XOM does a hell of a lot more than buying a few mortgages for our society (that would be like throwing a doallr in the offering plate for them). So all of you who actually take any of this article seriously, try Paxil, you might actually feel better about yourself.

      BAC's Ken Lewis Mulls Another Deal as Lehman Reaches Brink
      Yeah, I am long BAC. Yeah, I am not so happy about it. Yeah, the only reason I hold onto it is the realization tha there has to be at least one bank out there that doesn't fail over this financial mess we are in. At least one Ken. AT LEAST ONE!

      Preparing for the Fall
      tidewater libertarian~

      Did you know that in July of 1936 it was 108 in Minneapolis?

      It was 104 in 1934,

      and wow, in the same year it hit 106.

      Holy crap. the end is near. The oceans are going to boil and our only hope is to vote for Obama.

      This is the typical SA article where the buffoons preach to the buffoons.

      The only difference here is that the author actually called the buffoons buffoons in the article. Nice job you all.

      Not one lick of sense amongst the whole of you.

      Credit Suisse Disagrees with Citi on Blockbuster / Circuit City Deal
      Larry,

      I think even I, a tiny little high-end woodworker, could run CC better than current management.

      Atrocious.

      I am sure you could do much better as well, let alone Icahn.

      Uranium: Safely and Efficiently Powering the Future
      What amazes me is that the same people who complain about the source of the energy are the same people who are least willing to do anything about it, except for complain.

      The fact remains, energy cannot be created or destroyed. Also the natural tendency is for energy to be dispersed (increase in entropy).

      No matter what you do, there is going to be a trade off. Every energy source has it's impacts. The environmentalists hate the dams, they hate the oil rigs, they hate the manufacturing plants and corporations that create solar, they hate that the wind turbines kill birds, they hate nuclear waste. Ignoring these people is what needs to be done, and for the people who are in charge to develop a plan where all sources of energy that we know of today are used to effecitively and efficiently. You are not going to decrease the demand for energy, and if there were better alternatives on the market, they would be out there.

      I always laugh at people people who jump up and down about clean energy and say that there are alternatives. This is a global economy, and if you think there is a way to really keep the new energy technology under wraps you are seriously deluded. The market is constrained by energy right now. There a millions of scientists trying to find new and more efficient ways to use the energy we do have (take a look at the cell phone/.PDA market if you need help).

      Nuclera energy is a viable alternative. I studied as much as is available to the general public about chernobyl. Someone effed up, big time. Hmmm, and some people say that socialism and communism are good things. Nuclear energy is being used today, it will continue to be used and it will continue to be researched and developed.

      This society needs energy to run. Plain and simple. You take that away and you will have some serious problems which make a global food crisis seem like a nice, cute little walk in Central Park.

      There are many more where the following comes from:

      and you can quote me.

      I hope pray and prey that iTechnology becomes byeTechnology.

      Apple should be embarrassed, but I figure that they will be following their current "plan" to re-invent everything and sell it to the idiots of the world.
