Suze Orman Talks Economy Worries with NBC's 'Today' Show

[wilatemodel]

..she is a very "angry,negative enegry" person...

[parkfun101]

At the end where she said about the 200K house, ask for 125K. That has happened all over the place. I saw one home where it dropped 1 mil in order to sell.

Thank goodness I got a cheaper house 85K (3bed 1.5 bath on 1 acre) back in 2002. With the extra money I save a month, I can add small upgrades here and there and save some in case I lose my job. There wasn't anything wrong with the house, just kind of outdated appliances - that and the owners were on the verge of bankruptcy.

The issue is not what money is backed by but who controls its quantity. In history GOLD was used as the ONLY money standard in order to crash the economy into a depression. It is SILVER which is the key. When gold AND silver was in circulation the money was plentiful and the economy thrived . Then when they removed the silver standard you could only buy & sell in gold. This KILLED the economy. GOLD is scarce . Remember its who controls its QUANTITY that counts see "secret of oz"

[07kman]

That is one clueless bitch.

[NEVBB]

I love and respect her!

[moonshoes1000]

Do you think she invested in the new buildings in the golan hights...

[qtrinh]

I DO BITCH!

[nessrrawr]

Suze Orman knows how the system works. She has worked a lot with the Stock Market back in the day,

I have read all her books, esp. YF&B.

I raised my FICO from a 538 to a 687 after reading her advice. I think this is what America needs right now...some in-your-face truth. I mean, ppl were buying things they WANTED instead of things the NEEDED...lavish houses, huge SUVs, so and and so forth. Now?

[FinancialTales]

That's why she filed for bankruptcy at age 28.

[lrich65184]

Agreed she is part of the problem. She works for the crooked banking system touting " you have got to preserve your credit score" Think about it. all a good score means is your able to get further into debt. That is it. and that is where they want us.. Quote "Homes you can buy. Homes you can own" Until you pay the note off (30 years) you don't own shit, your renting.. Hey Suze, do you really know how our money system works? what is fractional reserve banking?

[xPowerTripsx]

EXTREME BS!!!

[welshwines]

Suze Orman is really part of the problem - she speaks in absolutes. Everyone's situation is unique - and she should be thrown in jail for totally ignoring the fact that as a financial advisor, a professional one anyway, we are bound to do what is best and suitable for our clients. This idiot woman is 6 points above retarded when it comes to offering sound financial advice.

Suze Orman is to financial advice as Dr. Phil is to psychiatrists - nothing more than entertainment.

Suze, you are dumb.

[GenRev1611]

I'm convinced that she's bought off by Wall Street after listening to this crap. She may seem like she's for paper assets, but I get a sneeky suspicion that she may be hoarding up gold and silver with the funds that she's getting from the Wall Street fat cats in preparation for what Gerald Celente calls "The Collapse of '09." She's preparing for her own bailout at the cost of your own misery if you listen to her.

[abegetsbuckwild]

BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!

[Daniyoyo]

silver and gold is the best way to hedge against inflation..and i never heard her talk about this..she is a Fiat money person..she is all about the paper currency that is about to be worth nothing..she is all about making you believe or not worry about the value on the dollar when that is the main problem..every single paper currency in history has FAILED in the history of man and trust me this is not the first time paper money has faild. SILVER and GOLD ALWAYS the back BONE of real money-value

[garycalgary]

i found out last week that suze orman and john belushi used to room together in college

[GilyMac]

KILL THE BITCH I SAY!

[trilex47]

Suze Orman is frustrated and she talks to fast.

[blade004]

Probably because she is frustrated about seeing people buying useless shit they don't need so that they can feel good in the moment but are oblivious to such habits that could make them homeless. That would frustrate the shit out of me too and it does, because the last thing i want to see is "anyone" homeless.

[Shanniquitie]

"Orwhore"? You're an asshole. lofl.

[lper77]

Suze Orman Rocks!!!!!! :0)

[pamperedgurl]

I disagree. I have a couple of her books and have been following them. I have paid off my credit card debt, have $10k in savings and enjoy a high FICO score.

My friend was able to smoothly buy a house knowing all that was needed thanks to Suze

[thesomkid]

it could be and im planning on going to med school so who knows how much i will be in debt when im all done. for now i will try not to think about it

[verumimillenium]

Not whether Democrats or republicans, but will you sign an affidavit stating that I shut down the Fed R. I will be part of shutting down the Fed R. system, I will vote to shut it down and drop all the other issues - gun control, environment etc temporarily because nothings going to matter if you dont get rid of the Federal Reserve,

[Bachconcertos]

Suzie should give her speechs of "people first, money second, and things third" to the corrupt CEOs, Wall street and the government -The government should never have bailed these people out. They should not be except from the law of cause and effect. They need to learn the hard lessons of their selfishness and greed - Living below your means is not just something to teach average Americans, it applies especilly to the Billionaire corrupt causing these problems at the top.

[Jellolion1]

1) this is bush taking advantage of a crisis (again) to push his fascist agenda. 700 billion at the complete discretion of 1 man. This makes our congress irrelevent. Watch congress will go along with it because they are weak and scared.

2) as soon as the short ban is lifted in october, the money the government put into the market will be GONE! Never in history has government been able to manipulate the markets. Their cash goes straight to the hands of the shorters.

[KiernanMooney]

Why is it (because I honestly don't know) that both of our presidential candidates are for the Bailout. Both Obama and McCain have embraced the bailout because they think it will benefit main street.

I watched a debate between Robert Reich, Newt Geingreich, with the editor of Newsweek and some bank owner talk about the bailout and how that money will be distributed. My concern is what this bailout MEANS and what it will mean for main street because it sounds like a lot of being put to waste.

[pamperedgurl]

the American people want the bailout thats why.

[budzarelli]

She has no idea how most people live because she represents the top moneymakers. Do you notice how she manipulates, telling you what to do and think? Just like mainstream media. What an annoying, fake, chipper-ass bitch!

[kristaselene]

She was a waitress before she made her millions. She wasn't born wealthy.

[yobuttin]

No, she sued a financial advisor for losing a bunch of her money that she invested. true story, look it up. she couldnt even afford a car so a couple of her friends gave her money. she invested with financial advisor, and he lost it all. she sued and won. this drove her to become a financial advisor. from there she made her millions. so stfu

[K4ADA]

the advisor invested it fraudulently, which is why she won back the money plus interest. do your homework like the courts did before they awarded her the judgement. thank God for people like Suze who stand up to the greedy scum of the world.

[DCJusticeDC]

on point! as the whole economy is getting battered, I wonder how long it will take to get to the "silver lining" she refers to.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

She told a pastry chef who makes $7.00/hr with $199,000 in student loan debt to "pay it all back".

Please. She should default.

[thesomkid]

damn but how the hell could someone be close to 200k in student loan debt? im almost done wit my final year of undergrad and it won't be more than 30K, maybe it depends on the school and how long you wait

[K4ADA]

you should educate yourself before speaking...you cannot default on student loans nor can you get rid of them through bankruptcy. you have to pay them. Suze is right as usual.

[saveen3]

Suze is a top money maker because she knows how to save money.

[williamherbert]

Wiig is dead on with her impression. She has that Great Lakes "flat-A" down perfectly.

[krissybabe34]

LOLZ SNL!!! itz exactly like her!

[fr3shAzn3]

hahaha...wow kristen wig's impression was so good!! so funny

[bluehaloknickls]

[thealphakoldes]

Haha, I admit it. That's EXACTLY why I searched her, haha.

[TheMagister]

[anonnemus]

[lovebabyyyyy]

[MalatiChopra]

[ohmygoditisjohn]

First comes people, then money, things and then jackets!

[Ireli20]

The reason they're so important is because later on homeless women can wear those jackets to dinner!

[koolaid6140]

[Hayzac]

[ToManyPhones]

[Missy5537]

I loved the SNL skit last night. If anyone gets hold of it, please post. Thanks!

[joeyramoney]

try hulu.

[ajake38]

Can you take Suze Orman seriously? My parents are strong Republicans. Can right-wing America really respect her? Are you kidding me?

If you are in the Military and can't think for yourself, and have to call in to Suze's show, no wonder why we are still stuck overseas!!!!

[DarkLadyAthena1]

There is nothing wrong in asking for help the main reason why people make mistakes and are so proud is because we hate help we think it is for weakling, I do not depend on her, but I do congrat her help. we should not critizice those who ask for her help rather continue with our respect and with out own afairs.

[FloridaHomesUnder500]

I think people are worried about how to sell their home when the mortgage exceeds the value. People in general do not want to go into foreclosure or try to order a short sale from their lender that could negatively affect their credit and their lives. This market is tough. However, there are alternatives. I am a licensed real estate broker and I would like to suggest a Suze Orman "throwdown" so I can to discuss these possibilities with Ms.Orman.

[LeftLiberalSoCal]

Your screen name.

What a fucking joke! FL homes under 500k?! As if that's some kind of deal? Fuck you Realtor! Fake arrogant liar! Your profession is DISPISED And slowly becoming extinct! You are just a WORTHLESS middle man who is IN THE WAY. And I will get a house for 150k before this is through. You lying, overpaid asshole! Fuck you Realtor. Fuck you Realtor. Fuck you Realtor. Fuck you Realtor!

[garyowen4ever]

is this a censorship site???

[garyowen4ever]

has there ever been a financial advisor that did want the average shmuck to invest their hard earned savings in the shark filled stock markets and other NON FDIC products? boys and girls, there aint no commision or mamagement or admin fees when you take your nest egg to a brick and mortar old fashioned bank for fdic products for your lousey 4% or 5% when were lucky and the fed isnt crashing the rates to bail out wall st. parasites.

[garyowen4ever]
