      10 ETFs To Be Thankful For
      rmaring478, I would say the big difference is the ability to trade SPY intraday. You can like it or hate it, and be in and out of it however you want to scale your position, as many times as you want during market hours.

      Jim Cramer's Mad Money - Cox Slow on the Uptick (11/21/08)
      Cox is the poster boy for Bush-style cronyism. Affable, glad handing incompetence. Core Reaganesque belief that government is the problem and that the worse government screws up the better its failure serves to promote this same brain dead ideology.

      Never again allow these fools anywhere near a government office.

      Can Fundamental Index ETFs Tame the Bear?
      Shouldn't the phrase "besides using inverse ETFs" appeared somewhere near the beginning of this article? Even as a parenthetical?

      5-1/2 Ways to Make the Market Rally
      Write down all assets to zero ratably over eighteen quarters. Recognize any gains on sale ratably over nine quarters. That should offset and smooth out impacts to your balance sheet while preventing overstatement of your carrying values.

      If this sounds arbitrary, consider whether it is any more arbitrary than marking to market the value of assets for which no market may exist at any given moment.

      Detroit is Hemorrhaging
      Something about that Chrysler 300 really pushes my buttons. It looks just yummy to me. But then I googled some customer reviews and saw the living hell those people are going through.

      Think I'll stick with my Camry. Thanks anyhoo Detroit.

      How Oversold Are We?
      PrudentMan, how can you rail against the evils of socialism when capitalism has just "redistributed&qu... so much of the national wealth into a black hole? Gone. Destroyed.

      We don't need to repeat the mistakes of the Soviets just in order to reign in the anything-for-a-buck animal spirits of the wild west.

      Steady growth without boom and bust has always been a desirable goal. Otherwise we are simply rolling the dice with a financial China Syndrome.

      The Bailout's Auction Design: How About a Market?
      If by CDOs you mean mortgages, then each one is unique. They are not fungible by their very nature.

      We need a small working group to quickly look at the details of each one proposed for auction and rank it for (1) payment history, (2) current loan to value (use Zillow), and (3) credit rating of the borrower.

      Numismatic markets depend on an accepted grading system which differentiates gems from common date circulated specimens. If you don't grade the inventory, the pig-in-a-poke problem will persist, and you will not realize full if any value from an auction.
