Schonfeld’s graphic doesn’t actually ((( show + tell ))) what’s happening and how various parties are interconnected in the Credit Crunch 2008 debacle: homeowners, mortgage CDOs, banks, the money markets, US government, wider implications, etc.

America: Where billion dollar bonus’ed CEO’s snicker as the common people pay for the price of their incompetence and folly, where Murderers walk on the account of their celebrity, where Disney kids serve mere minutes after multiple convictions of drunken driving, where high noon mentality rules in the White house, where money talks and justice walks, where the greed of the few always out weighs the needs of the many, where multi million dollar homes are built directly in the path of hurricane rich zones and we all pay the premium cost of that to the insurance companies, and a get rich quick attitude permeates every street corner.
Please take this advice, buy Canadian and only Canadian, get out of the markets and buy gold, sell your American condo’s or time shares while you still can, seek an insurance company not tied to some American boardroom. When this 700 billion dollar bail out blows up in their faces…and it will because the same morons will be running the show, it’ll put this planet in the worse shape it has ever been..God help us all…America… Oh how the mighty have fallen…What the hell happened? It’s just plain pathetic

I am amazed at this atrocious decision to bail out wall street ! socialise the losses and privatize the profits ! Why should tax payers foot the bill of wall street bankers ! .

Look at the ridiculous decision to ban short selling in banking stocks ! all this just to shore up the stock prices of failing banks and help them survive.

Is the treasury going to bail out all the businesses ? How about the airline industry and the automobile industry ?

Its a high time we let the bankers face the music! How about getting the bonuses back to fund the bail out !!!!!

Ralph, Ron, & Cynthia:

Now they’re planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes & adventuring
It’s well worth the fee

So roll up and see
How they rape the universe
How they’ve gone from bad to worse

Who are these men* of lust, greed, & glory?
Rip off the masks & let’s see

But that’s not right, oh no, what’s the story?
There’s you & there’s me

That can’t be right

I am hearing the news that Washington Mutual and Morgan Stanley are on the block. The Indian tech industry has exposure from 28% – 40% to financial services market. Many firms have started laying down people. Many sectors will see a sluggish growth or slump in the near term. It would take atleast 2 years for this to settle down. India’s finance minister has said that Indian financial institutions are insulated from global markets, but I doubt that.

That article is so funny… It’s obvious the who ever wrote it has no idea how financial markets work. The bottom line is we will see a decline in the value of the dollar which means mexicans won’t cross the boarders and we are all be going to work in new zealand/australia/honkong/singapur etc.. People make to much of a big deal out of this. As long as people in america are free to open new enterprise and operate it with out sams interference we will be fine in the long run. Lets take a look at tech industry, market cap in trilions, att/verizon/apple/ms/dell/hp/oracle just to name a few. There will be more industries created in the future as long as gov’t allows us to create them.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. – Thomas Jefferson

Wow.. finally, some sense.. Everyone is screaming these assets are “gone” last I heard, when the bank goes bust, all that real estate doesn’t :poof: disappear along with it.. No doubt this is a crisis, but it isn’t Armageddon .. And thanks Phil Gramm!! Way to get those pesky regulations on the swap market removed that paved the way for this.. Douche
