    "Prime" mortgage crisis

    I think that the problem with credit card debt is that the companies are afraid to call it uncollectable. Ok, delinquent credit card payments generate excellent CC bills passed on to consumers. But at some point they will have to admit that the loss is not recoverable. What do you guys think...

    Recession?

    75 bp cut

    IMO: does not matter what size of the cut will 50bp or 75bp the markets will go down on that day. Why? 50bp would seems to be small on expectations of 40% that the cut should have been 75bp. Plus note that 50bp is already priced in. 75bp cut - yea, things are so bad, let us cut it agressivly -...

    Cramer and Financials

    Recession?

    IMO: Bear market is coming. Why? the interest cuts are already priced in, job numbers can only go worse, consumer sales are off projections, just wait for the Christmas sales reports, adjustable mortgage resets will peak in March thus the financial crisis is not over + home sales data will be...
