This is a positive for sure. Compensation caps would not allow for the banks to recruit/retain high level employees. It is very reassuring that the government is not looking to go in this direction. I also support Geithner's comments regarding the need to evaluate compensation structure...

You bring up a great point. During this tough economic time (and every tough economic time before this), there are always people out there who think the sky is falling. The economy always rebounds eventually. I know some will say "but this time is different" but I disagree. The world has had...

I would think that someone who makes great calls all the time wouldn't need to brag and shout and jump up and down when he gets it right. I would think that someone who makes great calls all the time would shrug it off as "just another great call by Rowshan, no big deal." It's like the D...

All hail Rowshan

You do know that god is a fictional character, right?

Great point Angrycat. People see this failed experiment that was the USSR yet they still believe socialism can work. There will always be someone out there who thinks the way they do it will be different and successful, but the fact is it just doesn't work.

Let the conspiracy theories fly!

LOL You have no clue. I don't have time for your petty, immature, internet flame wars. I could take many many shots at the USA right now but that does not interest me. It is my personal belief that you have a lot of time on your hands, are stubborn and unable to be flexible on your...

YOU of all people are complaining about deceptive thread titles?! Give me a break... Believe it or not there are some people who visit this site who aren't American...shocking EH? Looking to start a serious discussion about the current state of the Canadian economy here. Anybody without...

In hindsight that theory may be relevant for GM because we know what a terrible mess they are in today. But traditionally a dividend will help prop up (or stop the decline) of a share price because it is incentive for the investor to buy the shares therefore demand is higher.

I agree with blackjack on this one. People have very short memories. While the public will be cautious about investing in stocks for a while, they will forget the crash as soon as earnings start growing again.

LOL whatever pal. You have never bought low and sold high in your life. Don't take it so personal, I question anybody and everybody who posts "facts" without sources.

So now you're not even waiting for the story to be released before trying to scare everyone? Who is the source of this anonymous headline?

Too late, pal. GM will absolutely declare bankruptcy in a matter of weeks. Top execs sold off a bunch of stock today. This mess is already out of control and GM's brand name is already destroyed. As for the government nationalizing GM and Ford and taking their time restructuring it...I...

LOL just relax forum nazi. The moderators do a good job of moving useless threads to chit chat so I'm sure it will happen in good time. No need to put down a citizen arrest.

Maybe not perpetual but it could occur for a long enough time to completely cripple the economy. As they say, markets can remain irrational much longer than you can remain solvent. Maybe deflation would take prices MUCH lower than "fair value", then revert back to equilibrium. But during that...

You are way off. Deflation is terrible. Who will spend money to buy a car when it will be cheaper in a week, month, year? Who will buy a house when they know they can get it cheaper in a week, month, year? Spending in the economy comes to an absolute halt, with the exception of necessities...

It must be nice to have a crystal ball and know exactly how the governments policies will affect the future. I am quite envious.

Deflation must be avoided at all costs. Temporary deflation is OK but long term deflation is horrible. Nobody will spend money and the economy is stuck in pergatory perpetually. Stagflation is also worrisome in the near future with the stimulus spending, but deflation is what the...
