      And where were you when the tax payer was forced to bail out the financial industry?

      When Will the Recession End?
      Another silly prediction that will be completely crush by the facts on April 2009. Pretty graphs though...

      First Glimmers of Optimism
      but the UK government is forcing the banks to lend at 2007 levels, not only to each other but into the real economy

      So you actually think that giving money away is a good long term strategy because???

      How Oversold Are We?
      .. We know that the market will eventually rebound
      This is the dumbest statement ever uttered by the "experts" when no time frame is given. So next time you fell like saying that why don't you add something like in a year, in two, in ??

      Paulson's Plan: Stop the Rot
      Well I'm assuming you eventually will need a job in the financial industry and you would like it not to have any "toxic stuff". I can see youe point but why should I pay for it?

      Dollar Goes Down Along with Bailout Plan
      ...but at least it could have brought some stability to the financial markets.

      And you base this on what? Empirical evidence? Some magic formula? Please do tell what evidence do you have that it does what you say it does?

      What is Hank Paulson Thinking?
      The problem with most people is that they think that Paulson is an honest broker - he is not.

      The Deal's Getting Done, But Will It Work?
      I find interesting that some people think that the outcome of the depression would had been avoided if they had done things differently. How do they know? I can also speculate with the same level of certainty that the depression would had been a lot worst had they done something else. In other words it is impossible to know. To me after this bail out comes the drop of the dollar as more and more countries become more and more sure that the US will either print to pay or won't pay at all. Once the dollar drops governments will start raising trade barriers to US products to protect their own constituencies. In a nut shell, the dies is cast and the depression is unavoidable.

      It's a Bull Market in Government Intervention
      Act shall be limited to $700,000,000,000 outstanding at any one time"

      This is the way they will print the money. Once the bank gets rid of the toxic stuff it will again extend credit to anyone. This in turn will create more toxic crap that will move again to the tax payer repeat to infinity. I don't know about gold since I have the feeling that they will try to manipulate it. I think long oil and shorting US debt has a better chance on not being so easy to manipulate.

      Could Lehman's Failure Cause a Systemic Meltdown?
      LDT: This will send a clear signal that the financial sector isn’t fair game.

      We already know that. Fair game implies no government manipulation and in a free market we just can't have that kind of non sense

      Free of risk as long as the government has the ability to pay it back. Do you see taxes going up to pay them back? Or do you see the government printing the $$ to pay back the debt and if I were holding treasuries I would sell them like if they were toxic because THEY WILL NOT BE PAID BACK

      Fannie and Freddie: 80% Dilution
      Tim,

      Why would as you say " I hope these actions are positive for the housing market and a result in a significant decrease in mortgage rates. This would be a positive for the economy as a whole." Be positive.

      Since when is extending credit to overvalued real estate guarantied by tax payers a good idea? Are you a communist or something like that?

      Mr borenstein

      You are the poster child of what wrong with this country. While pretending to be capitalist/free markets all you do is take advantage of the corruption inside the government to profit on the backs of taxpayers - Hurray lets celebrate taxpayers will make sure I make money : disgraceful
