That kind of attitude is really scary. What about retired people who have no job income and only have their savings to live on? That is the real travesty here. They are completely reamed in that scenario. I guess you are willing to throw them under the bus - I'm not. I guess for people still...

Maybe, or maybe everything would actually be better. Ever think about that?

Until the Fed finally wakes up to reality? Or maybe when you stop asking?

FRE and FNM should be both bankrupt and the government is specifically bailing out the shareholders of these two idiotic "corporations." So although you have a point, the shares should be at $0 - so I have my point. And whoever thinks deflation is a problem is just not in touch with the...

What about Fannie/Freddie? You cannot argue they got what was coming to them if the government bends over backward to bail them out because they cried for mommy. You are convinced that the current correction in commodities implies the bull run in them is over? We will see.

The problem with this is once inflation starts, you can't just stop it unless you have the balls to Volckerize it. And clearly nobody has the balls anymore to Volckerize anything.

As long as Bernanke is in charge, the Fed will never raise rates.

He claimed it was "THE" bottom. He even mentioned that it would go lower before going higher. But he claimed that the financials would not penetrate their recent lows from now on. So he has yet to be proven right.

I don't think I'm mistaken. The US financial system would have survived Bear going under naturally without mommy Fed coming to the rescue. This "too big to fail" crap is just insane - where are the penalties for stupidity? Sure wish the Fed bailed me out when times were tough.

The Bear Stearns bailout in the end did nothing if you look at the performance of the financial stocks (i.e., XLF) from then until now. I am just guessing that the bailout of Freddie/Fannie will produce the same results. We're just throwing good money after bad, in a futile attempt to protect...

Then other financial entities will step in and make a killing. For example, I'm sure Berkshire Hathaway would be salivating at a piece of the action. The stupidest thing to do is to keep on doing what has proven not to work - i.e., give more money/bailouts to these idiots.

You are acting as if I am saying all banks would go under. Other banks would fill this void of capital formation - is that not an answer to your question? Obviously not all of these financial institutions were as stupid as others. The strong survive, the weak should die.

I just want companies to be responsible for their own reckless behavior. You cannot allow an entity to take leveraged risk and then tell them that everything is okay - we'll bail you out. What kind of behavior does that promote? Reckless behavior. What kind of behavior can we expect in the...

The Fed and the government are bending over backwards to prevent these pathetic banks from going under when they aren't worth saving. Show me some regulations coming out of this. Maybe there will be, maybe there won't be. All I know is that these jackass banks deserve death but since we are...

Can you trade GLD or SLV (ETFs)?

Man you sound really smart! You know what really sounds smart? How about we pour more money into banks that don't know what the fudge they are doing so that they don't fail! I mean, they have to be smarter this time, right? Sometimes you just need to flush the toilet and start over. Some...

Maybe we should be asking when SunTrust will go under.

You've been saying that for many years now. I'm not seeing it. We all know the real reason the SEC is now trying to enforce the naked shorting rule for financials is because big whigs whose companies should be valued close to $0 are pressuring Cox to do so. How about enforce the naked...

At least the moron didn't include the uptick rule in his rant this time. Progress!

What, you trust the government's inflation calculations?
