peter yastrow, there booing him again

why were they booing that guy on cnbc?

It has improved a lot over the past year, I have to agree with that. Hopefully it will improve more. I think they could keep more customers just by improving customer service, and making their tws improvements *major* once a year, with basic improves like security issues, etc as fast as...

I was talking to a few friends of mine who were joking around that gs still trades and behaves like they an investment bank. That nothing will change, leverage, compensation, and what they can do will still be the same. the same goes towards morgan stanley and the others still standing. The...

eddie nobody is hating on america, its about personal responsibility. Its a cornerstone of american values. The majority of the blame for the current crisis goes to americans. Everybody. The reason is that everybody wanted cheap credit, bigger houses, cheap goods, and everybody wanted tobe...

Im just wondering what you guys think. apparrently he still has alot of followers reading his articles on thestreet.com. http://www.finalternatives.com/node/7508

note this is not an anti american thread, Im just a big tenant on learning from history and not shying away from it. And a big belieaver in oweing up to mistakes. Look at what you guys are doing now, getting ride of mark to market, and allowing banks to make up their own profit models. Did we...

well your trader right and an investor, investors and traders belieave in learning from history and their mistakes. if you dont owe up to your mistakes, you end up repeating them over and over again. It's one of the basic tenants of trading and history in general, learning from your mistakes...

I dont understand why americans can't admit that they messed up the whole world economy? You have people on air going, we didnt do this. Then when you talk to them on what caused it, they go subprime, derivitives by american banks and consumers. Is it just plain denial. I dont know why...

lol you mean all the quants who are hiring lawyers becuase they are afraid of being sued for selling stuff that they didnt quite understand. I would say rather then having a good degree, have a good shoulder on your head, and use common sense, and dont be too greedy.

Arent hedgefunds afraid of taking talf money, without specific garantees they wont be sued, legislized, or Aig to death. People think the banks got away with murder, but everybody knows the hedgefunds do way worst stuff. Legal stuff, but in the eye of the public, it cant past muster. If I...

hey afa, well in bc, its taxed like regular income. Its a scaled system, so the more you make the more you pay. What I did was have my business incorporated. Or you can got the other routes, for businesses, but it was the way to go for me. You can either send an email to the smallbusiness...

its b/c they are telling everybody if we dont they will go out of business, then they go if you dont let us do what we want you will lose all of your bailout money. Its time to just let them go bk. LOL it would be better if they jump out the window

what are some of the tricks people use on thestreet to scam people out of money. It could be anything from using the cnbc, business papers, spreading rumours, futures, options, old fashion stock trading, to scam the public out their money. I got this idea from jim cramer when he published...

everybody can see how it can go so wrong right. Like what they want to, is amortize the losses, and let it be a guess on what their losses are. LOL and in some cases people can actually mark up losses to their earnings. It reminds me of how some japanese firms in the 90's decided to mark up...

I just find it funny b/c we all know somebody will blow up b/c they decide to take liberties in their accounting. It will be the whole enron situation again plus an Aig.

If a year from now a huge accounting scandal breaks out because a firm decided to take liberties again on their mark to market accounting. It blows up big time. Whose going to take the blame. You have conservatives saying we should get ride of mark to market. Kudlow on cnbc is going rah rah...

why is it ok and not uncapitalistic for gm and the autos to renegotiate prexisting contracts, but its uncapitalistic for any finance companies like aig to regnegotiate?

stewart is just saying what we all know, wallstreet is selling snake oil. senteli is a moron.
