      Is the System on the Verge of Collapse?
      I see no need to hate any kind of economic system; the nitwits and otherwise stupid greedy people may be another matter. ...

      Unless we go entirely bonkers and give N00 billions of USD, I'd guesstimate that the markets are close to being half-way toward the bottom. Any worse and the globe--mostly the U.S.--can look forward to many years of a deep recession.

      We in the State will survive; meanwhile, the Chinese have learned exceptionally well from the U.S. and Hong Kong about laissez faire capitalism. [ That's another term for "throat cutting." ]

      Yahoo Fundamentals Deteriorating - Collins Stewart
      I believe that Collin ought to re-examine his belief system. . For searching I will continue to hang with Google--their ad technology underwrites part of my website. They've done search better than anyone so far. But for many other forms of news, information, and *fun*,-- and more --, Yahoo has it in spades.

      Bailout Related Debt Could Reach $1.5 Trillion
      Good thinking, Andy.

      Among the most obvious questions re the current $700 E9 is: why must this be resolved by Friday?

      Previous downturns are easily researchable. The most recent downturns and subsequent up-swings seem to grow exponentially. If the latest giveaway is passed, you can bet your last dime that it will wind up costing us taxpayers and our great-great grandchildren well over a trillion USD.

      There *are* other proposals floating around; these need [ dare I say "demand"? ] serious consideration.

      Housing, Lehman, and an End to Market Euphoria
      Rather than this being a time to buy--especially anything as significant as real estate!--this seems like the time to wait for the two-third to three-fourths of the rest of the decline.

      Re the fed, this is when a 250-basis point increase would seem appropriate. Since all of us have the hook about to be stuck firmly through our flesh. Face it, people: this lose-lose situation has been the elephant in the clothes closet for countless months.

      Solar Power May Not be Quite so 'Green'
      Both the Washington Post and Eric Savitz neglected to research ScienceNews,
      Vol. 173, No.9 (and the 15 March Environmental Science & Technology).
      Solar keeps getting greener and greener.

      After the Subprime Crisis, Which Is the Next Domino to Fall?
      I think Andy raises some reasoned points.... My own question is whether things will be merely Bad or deadly.

      Market Sinkhole Alert: Look Out Below
      I like Rockefeller's advice about when shoeshine boys are giving their customers stock tips, it's time to sell. Or at least time for caution. When an acquaintance of my wife's began buying condos and houses in Las Vegas that was a serious clue that the financial markets were going to be in some trouble. I neither see the sky falling, nor opportunities to *buy* after a minor (few percent) dip.

      Whoever is investing for the [very-] long term stands a good chance of winding up with assets after 30 or 40 years. As I see it, investing requires a lot of hard work, independent research, and pragmatic smarts. And luck!

      15 Reasons Why Stocks Are Falling
      After I was 9/11'd out of my engineering job the only post-graduate school I could find that did distance learning in my field was in the UK. The dollar-pound exhange rate then was ballpark 1.40:1.00. Now it is closer to 2:1. Several thousand dollars fled our economy and it's the same for folk who prefer, say, French wine or Czeck beer.

      I've only been in-the-market for 45 years, so factor that in; but it seems to me that the longer we throw a billion here and a billion there, it <I> will </I> [continue to] add up to real money. That cost is having the unintended consequences of dragging the US ever further into the mire. Our government isn't the sole wastrel here. Anyone who buys a new gas guzzler is flipping off the rest of us. As I see it, it's time to start conserving where possible. The downward drift is going to continue simple because it is deserved. About the only thing that will save us is to start acting responsibly. Pointing a finger of blame strengthens only one muscle. We need to strengthen many others.

      How to Profit from Stem Cell R&D - Barron's
      Sadly, it is not only the biotech firms, but law enforcement folks, as well as whoever is concerned about the health and welfare of lives, not to mention property and decades of work lost. --I'm reminded of the unversity research building that was destroyed by the "left" radicals. Given the raging ignorance on the "right" it's lucky there hasn't been more chaos. How many people really understand any biology at the blastocyte level? Certainly few in our political arena. Until more people are capable of rational thought, we're all in trouble.

      Most of us can appreciate--entirely from personal experience--all that neural stem cell therapy will be able to do. Abeit, for older injuries, extensive physical therapy will be required, NSC therapy will be able to resolve injuries from strokes, surgeries-gone-wrong, blindness, and many other ills that cost the economy <B>$billions<... These United States have lost 6 years ... but not so with the rest of the world!
