The Fat Lady Sings

[kinimalia]

BAILOUT BILL: NPR reported 10/4/08 on This American Life that for the taxpayers to purchase this huge, stinking pile of garbage assets and get nothing in return is certainly possible.

However, someone in both Sen and House has added language to the bailout bill to give the Treasury Secretary the OPTION of requiring stock in the failed banks, along with the worthless assets.

Sort of like yes, we'll buy your bad debts, but we own a % of your business.

Q: How do we force them to do this now?

This is as sensationalist as the mainstream media. Invest and hold for the long term. I'm assuming the median age of YouTubers is about 30. Have patience and a long-term outlook; the next 5 years are meaningless unless you're 63 years old right now.

Go fuck yourself.

[saved2play]

I don't get it. To what or to whom are you responding?

[BubbFromGEI]

A good collectio of clips. Thanks for creating that. But I reckon you should be watching some key bellwethers, like Builders stocks, which tend to peak 6 to 12 months before their related property markets. See my video response: "Are the Builders signaling a 2008 UK Property Crash ?" ... or click on my name.

There's not going to be a 2008 election. Do you really believe these criminals will allow a president of the people to be elected to dismantel this OIL war? They expended Billions of Dollars and Thousands of lives just to give it to Ron Paul or Hillary Clinton? I predict a 9/11 type event where Bush will declare Marshall Law and seize power like Adolf Hitler (his grandpappy's protege). You're gotta be jokin. The republic cannot be fixed hacked electronic ballot.

Pro-American Anti-War Vice President Dick Cheney bets against the Dollar: Cheney has between $10 million and $25 million in American Century International Bond (BEGBX). The fund buys mainly high-quality foreign bonds (predominantly in Europe) and rarely hedges against possible increases in the value of the dollar. Indeed, its prospectus limits dollar exposure to 25% of assets and the fund currently has only 6% of assets in dollars.

Brilliant... Ahhh the mainstream press is so "objective". "The Press has been bought and paid for a thousand times over".

The notion of American exceptionalism adopted so wholeheartedly by the Bush administration is nothing new. Other superpowers have been there before. They too have witnessed the loss of their prime position to rising powers. No superpower in modern times has maintained its supremacy for more than several generations. The United States, already clearly past its zenith, has no chance of becoming an exception to this age-old pattern of history.

Yep. Sure looks that way today.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock...

how do you figure? he's from texas, like a little bush in disguise

[lolomfgkthxbai]

Interesting video, but you could try a different approach to the fading of the clips. Instead of just stopping the previous clip and fading it away, mute it but let it continue while fading away. This way the newsreaders wouldn't freeze in a unnatural-looking way when they disappear.

[itulipdotcom]

Yes, we should have done cross-dissolves. The effect in some of the transitions is comical, which kind of works.

[softearth]

Perhaps this why the Fed stop issuing the M3 data last year? Hum...What's M3 data you say?

Part of the M3 data reports how much NEW money the Fed dumps into the markets. But that report isn't needed anymore now, is it?

[visiocomb]

total bullshit... I'm propping the market up with my 50p December long spreadbet - POW!

We'll see.

I've been watching the housing market since 2002. If you subscribe to the Dines Letter or read Harry Schultz, you have been too. We really may be facing a 2nd great depression. The last 6 years of monetary policy have been disasterous. What does the US worker make today? You can't run an economy on flipping burgers, and selling sodas.
