  • Global financial intermediation is broken, Alan Greenspan writes in an Economist op-ed. "Today, fearful investors clearly require a far larger capital cushion to lend, unsecured, to any financial intermediary." He thinks banks will need another $250B.

  • Cramer: Stupendous Short Sale Volume Drove Banks Stocks Down
    Manipulation has to stop, and the uptick rule restored...

    However, banks could have given this shorts a good lesson buying significant amounts of stock at those depressed prices, to give them a lesson like the one Posche gave shorts with VW stock...

  • More Evaporating Billions at Morgan Stanley
    yeap, most analysts are either corrupt or idiots...maybe it would be best if the SEC prohibited them from making "buy", "sell", etc. calls...take away one of their weapons of manipulation...and restore the uptick rule, as Charles R Schwab has correctly pointed out, is an effective way to reduce manipulation...

  • Ben Stein Watch: December 14, 2008
    the guy is a complete idiot, I cannot believe the NYT pays him to write so much nonsense, but I guess as long as there are people that are dumber than he is, he'll have an audience...

  • 2 Dividend Paying Energy Efficiency Picks
    Thanks Tom for the recommendations...I remember reading an article you wrote where you mentioned New Flyer, I did DD, and bought some shares. I think it's a good company, the only thing is that I see little gowth, capital intensive, and there is always the risk of a strike. But the yield looks relative safe IMHO, and they seem to have good management.

    One question I do have is, what do you think will happen after 2020 after the subordinate notes mature (or 2012 when they can be called)?

  • Just How Sensitive Is the Economy to the Auto Industry?
    but there is no rule that if the GM/Ford/Chrysler jobs are gone, so would these...since people would still buy cars, the suppliers would just sell to Honda, Toyota, etc...or even GM/Ford...just because their shareholders get wiped, does not mean the companies have to liquidate...

  • Pay Bankers Much Less
    You are correct Felix, most bankers are grossly overpaid, and as explained in Liar's Poker, they dont even care much about the total amount, but by the relative amount they earn compared to others in the company/competition.

    A friend has a P.h.d in Physics, she is very bright, and instead of working to solve serious problems, she was attracted to work in trading models for Wall street because she made much more money, but I bet her talent would be put to much better use in another place solving real world problems.

  • At 2003 Levels, Berkshire Stock Is Enticing
    if they have come so low is because people have been "playing" with the CDS market and have been successful in creating panic...

    shorts should be investigated...

    and this is the cheapest BRK has been in the last 2-3 DECADES...
    below book!! even Buffett has said that book value SIGNIFICANTLY undervalues the company, since companies like Seed's are worth 50x + what they are carried in the books...

    but hey, if it goes lower, maybe I'll be some more...
