Yes it does. If you compare and contrast the two, Matt Taibbi doesn't even come close in terms of journalistic integrity. So by just showing a real journalist and not a biased editorialist, I have shown how Taibbi is weak and ineffective. People who have to scream to get their point across...

There are certainly cases where there are deadbeats trying to get loans they shouldn't have. But many lenders used fraud and intimidation to knowingly bankrupt people.

It happened a lot. Read the book I referenced before.

What if the lenders make you sign a pile of documents where the the first couple of pages on the front are for a fixed rate loan but buried later in the pages upon pages of the loan is another document that details an adjustable rate mortgage with pre-payment penalties and a huge fee. Once you...

If he presented his articles in a strictly factual way, it would be much more convincing to me. But he interjects his own personal opinions in almost every paragraph that he writes which makes his points useless in my book. It is more like reading an editorial than a journalistic article.

If a lender gave you a loan and said it was a fixed rate loan for 10% but then when the real paperwork came in, it was a 14% adjustable rate loan with 25% cap, what would you think? Some of these lenders deserve to be in jail.

I'll give you one example but there are plenty. How about Michael Hudson: http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Predatory-Lenders-America-ebook/dp/B003P8QDLY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1298258423&sr=8-1

I've critiqued his content as well. You should reread my selections more slowly. Any "journalist" that continually uses swear words and blows things out of proportion in a large percentage of their sentences is someone that is not credible.

For one, a real journalist does not use strong language just to use strong language. He or she lets the content of their argument speak for itself. Sure it probably makes for entertaining reading but it makes him appear to be biased and not worth taking seriously. For example, Also, a...

Taibbi's journalistic abilities are highly questionable given the previous articles he has written.

Me too cause I hear he is drinking tons of water and is breathing deeply. Plus he eats his carrots.

They probably cancelled it because nobody has any savings in the USA.

I am not wishing cancer upon anyone, but if you do happen to get cancer, tell us how your deep breathing and water works out.

I found this to be a good read on silver: http://adventuresincapitalism.com/post/2011/01/03/Commodities-Gone-Wild.aspx

1. Already happening 2. Not happening 3. Already happening because of the Fed's artificially low interest rates

For your sake, I hope you don't get cancer because you'd be dead in a week with your carrots.

But don't worry, the Fed will be able to cut off inflation quickly when it sees that things are heating up too much! The same people who couldn't see the housing bubble coming surely won't let inflation get out of control! My prediction is that when the Fed admits inflation is running at 2%, it...

Except that Turbotax has limitations when it comes to how big of a number you can input in any one field. It tells you to upgrade to their super expensive versions in order to handle a number larger than what they want you to handle. I call that a ripoff considering that implementing fields that...

I have had relatively cheap home routers degrade in performance over time. My solution is to replace them with a new one. I don't know how these routers are made, but they sure aren't made to last for the long haul.

So does anybody know the name of the third-party insurance company that failed to pay out?
