shorty Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Democrats Offer Alternative Liquidity Plan Under the proposal now before CONgress, President Bush's postal ATM machine plan will be replaced by a more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly approach. "All that driving to post offices is releasing terrible amounts of greenhouse gaSSes into our atmosphere. Under our proposal, local fire departments will use high-powered hoses to blaSSt every homoaner's walls and attics full of hundred dollar bills, for easy access by all consumers in the family. We estimate the extra insulation will also cut home heating costs by up to 20% during the winter season." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 it's true, click it Southern Californians Moving Into Depression-Style Tent Cities The unraveling of the region reads like a 21st century version of "The Grapes of Wrath," John Steinbeck's novel about families driven from their lands by the Great Depression. The noisy, dusty camp now numbers 200 people, including several children, growing as this region east of Los Angeles has been hit by the U.S. housing crisis. Steve, 50, who declined to give his last name, moved to tent city four months ago. He gets social security payments, but cannot work and said rents are too high. "House prices are going down, but the rentals are sky-high," said Steve. "If it wasn't for here, I wouldn't have a place to go." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 2007 A GREAT YEAR OF INFORMATION ASSYMETRY Yes it was a great year for information assymetry - as some municipalities in Norway and Australia who invested in AAA subprime bonds found out. I give Jimbo awards for Blackstone, Fortress, Ochs Ziff , RAMS and Vonage. Great stuff in unloading your overvalued stock at outrageous prices on complete idiot bagholders A special mention to CENTRO for buying property like crazy at the top of the market financed completely with short term borrowings. Great strategy guys. And valuing your rights to manage the properties you actually owned at $5.5 billion - a stroke of genius - I think that the rights to manage the properties were worth more than the value of your equity stake in the properties themselves!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that is called having your cake and eating it too. Next year will be a great year for bankruptcy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elh Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 option premiums on longer dated issues didn't really change much today. That tent city is grim.

sarcastro Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Anyone realize the 3 major averages are all less than 5% from 52 week highs. All the bad financial news. Funds blowing up. Recession talks. Liquidity drains. All the bad news and the best the bears can do is nudge a small 3-5% correction. I wonder what will happen if the banks bottom. 633898[/snapback] A 3-5% correction?! UNACCEPTALBE!!! Interest rates MUST be cut! Speaking of which, don't look now, "There's-no-inflation" gang, but oil and gold are holding their own. I don't know WHEN the truth will come out, but every day they hold up is one day closer to the day of reckoning- whenever THAT may be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
