People rip on David Faber quite a bit, but I think he does a relatively thorough job (everything is relative at CNBC), and that 'House of Cards' was probably the best and most informative special that the sad network that is CNBC ever produced, and the the interviews Faber did in it were excellent.

I get the impression that Madoff had almost no Gentiles who invested with him. In fact, he may have had zero Gentile clients. If so, this makes Madoff even more of a curious person. He almost seemed to go out of his way to prey on fellow Jews, including non-profit Jewish organizations such as...

Tampa-St. Pete is reeling, too, from what I've heard.

-Continued from above- Every other person here seems to know someone who once had millions and, because of Mr. Madoff, is now bagging groceries at Publix or working as a maid. But a vast majority of people are still multimillionaires. So why aren’t they spending? Stuart Doppelt, a jewelry...

Recession Pain, Even in Palm Beach Worth Avenue in Palm Beach, Fla., is home to scores of exclusive fashion and jewelry shops — and a growing number of empty storefronts. Some multimillionaires are snapping wallets shut, too...

I, for one, want a refund. Obama can keep the change. There is no hope for saving this nation given the absolutely corrupt scam that is the 'two party political system.' There is no way to have an environment where legislators can work for the American People, rather than select...

Exactly. I wonder if there are people who actually believe Paulson, Summers, etc. aren't completely beholden to their masters on Wall Street, and wouldn't sink the nation if it would benefit their former and/or future employers. The greatest nepotistic, orgiastic theft, with the revolving...

Goldman owns all of us, with Obama, Paulson, Summers and Co. in their hip pocket.

Stores, auto dealers, shoppes - all clearing out inventory to raise cash, some in anticipation of closing, sadly. There are some great buys for those who plan on racking up their credit cards to the max and tell the bank to GFT, also....a two-fer, if you will.

I am disgusted with the nepotistic, greedy, criminal gang propping up Obama, obviously, but Dubya was the biggest asshole to ever occupy the White House and you can kiss my lily white ass if you don't like hearing that fact.

What about his index? It was down a whopping 88% (almost 89%), and even with the 21% wicked rally we've had in the last 4 weeks, was still down over 70%. He literally bought stocks like AAPL, POT & RIMM at their parabolic highs and was telling others he was buying more at those points in...

Someone posted this on another forum today, and it's fantastic. The ideas spoken of are as simple as can be, but we all need to be reminded of them as some benefit from making things as convoluted as possible, and we stray from the simple methodologies that are time-tested and proven...

I literally believe Obama was installed by Goldman Sachs et al. I know others would find this belief to be anything other than extraordinary, but many still think this is conspiratorial or ridiculous. A good question is whether McCain would have succumbed to the same powers that be. We...

Just the way they've gone about this, and now with the *hint* *hint* *wink* *wink* of this, does anyone really doubt that the banks are even in far worse shape than even the most bearish among us suspected? It just keeps getting worse and worse. You can fool all of the people some of the...

Brother, I am with you. I can honestly now say that not only do I not believe government officials at any level, and especially the higher rungs, I now believe they go out of their way to deceive, as they are beholden to a constituency that exercises its power in the most potent way: cash.

Great Post.

Does anyone here, left, right or center, honestly believe that there IS NOT massive fraud upon the U.S. Taxpayer right now, that banks and financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs are NOT being shown massive preferential treatment, that there is NOT massive nepotism and 'revolving door'...
