      Banks Forgiving Mortgage Principle: Reward for Bad Behavior?
      i agree, if debt forgiveness is going to be the norm then why should i pay my mortgage and my credit cards? why should i invest in stocks or put money away through my 401k? Its absolutely ridiculous. Everyone made their own bed, now you have to lie in it. When I made a bad decision I wasn't bailed out. We're not all in this together.

      The vital difference b/w PS3 and XBox360 is that Sony cannont compete online. If you have a chipped 360 its as good (many will say as bad) as a PS3. Saving the PS3 is the fact that it has a blu ray player. It's basically a movie player than a gaming console. Almost no titles. It is for this very reason hard core gamers will be on the 360. People want to play the Halos and the Gears of Wars online. Once GTAIV came out for the 360 before the PS3 the console wars were officially over. Will pirated software developers leave 360 and go to PS3? There's no games on PS3. Is pirated software even a problem? This article is really bad.

      Why Paulson and Bernanke's Plans Don't Work
      I believe Paulson and Bernanke's plan is to cause inflation. I think that is their very intention. Without it housing prices will continue to plummet. I don't think they are trying to cure the disease, rather, they are treating the symptoms. Just a way to artificially prop up the economy until one day it sort of fixes itself. Right now we are witnessing gold and commodities at very attractive levels with a strengthening dollar. As the bailout dollars begin to trickle into the economy we should expect commodities to rise with the dollar remaining flat or decreasing versus other currencies. Logically I would believe that the dollar should plummet but other countries are devaluing their currency as well so the dollar should remain strong comparatively speaking.

      Damage Report: Nokia Blows Up Mobile Sector
      i have an iphone and its not priced a lot higher than other smartphones. it has way more capabilities. i dont think the iphone will be hurting in 2009. quite the contrary, it will be the thing that inflicts damage to the rest of the industry. the blackberry storm looks really cool but it looks like its too little too late for RIMM

      Bullish on Switzerland
      Switzerland's debt as a percentage of GDP is even higher than the US. I would be bearish on Switzerland.

      China Gets It Right, But Hurts America
      dr doolittle,

      Georgia invaded South Ossentia, Russia responded. This is common knowledge to informed society. I can't for the life of me understand how NATO has reached Eastern Europe. That's the real joke. It's a problem of our own making. However, Russian markets paid dearly for responding.

      As far as China's stimulus package, how can one really compare it with America's? China has way more options than us. When you are leveraged to the tilt your options are limited. You dont go with the best option, you go with the least worst or the politically correct one. We would have been better off passing no bailout.

      10 More Notes for the Current Crisis
      @socialism

      you make a compelling argument and have swayed me to see it the way you're looking at it. If there are no taxes on necessity items then I would have to agree with you. Having said that can you picture a scenario where the government actually shrinks?

      U.S. Can Blame Wall Street - Who Should Everyone Else Blame?
      I think we are susceptible to groupthink from the media so its hard for me to listen to analysts who 1 day say oil is going to be 200 dollars by the end of the year but then the market really starts to tank so now you have analysts suggesting 50 or even 40. Same thing with gold and other precious metals. They just want the masses to follow suit after they're already in for cheap and they can get out when the masses start buying. If you're not in gold or bonds or whatever is the "in" thing already then its too late. The SEC should stop hedge funds from selling phantom stocks and stop letting CNBC aid and abet the short sellers.

      Bob McGregor - I completely agree. One more bull run and then it's over. The bailout will ultimately lead to our demise. The dollar will be worthless, like a peso...We'll inflate our way out of paying our debt but then what? Abolish the Fed!

      10 More Notes for the Current Crisis
      socialism cannot compete - that works well for those who are well off but that is a regressive tax that would not help the middle class. The middle class is the root of the problem. They are the engine of the economy. I think its high time we start taking care of our neighbors instead of only looking out for numero uno. B/C those with less will have to spend money on consumption as a higher percentage of their income. So you are basically reinforcing the current quagmire we are in with the same old solution of giving tax cuts to the rich. VAT is already applied throughout Europe and most European countries still tax income so VAT would not be enough to fund the government.

      Should We Really Bail Out the Big Three Automakers with $73.20 Per Hour Labor?
      When the CEOs were making millions and millions during a good economy, worker's salaries stayed relatively the same, they just were extended more credit as a way to bridge the gap between the haves and have nots and to put themselves in debt. Now that the balloon is deflating the average american's assets are probably down 30-40% and their debt is exactly what it was before. The auto industry is just an microcosm of what is wrong with our country. Privatise earnings, socialize risk, shaft the middle class. A free market is always bound to get greedy. Why pay an American an honest wage when a company can outsource it for cents on the dollar? The citizens of a country with the highest standard of living in a truly free market stands the most to lose. Our labor force is looked at as overpaid and underperforming by world standards. We're accustomed to living a certain lifestyle, hence the pain we're feeling right now.
