I saw them scurrying around like rats in a sinking ship last week trying to put a shine on this. Obama and McCain support a bailout. Frank is just sad. He's all bluster and only in Massachusetts could someone like that get elected over and over.

When you lower traditional standards that worked you will pay a severe penalty and that is exactly what happened in what has triggered this whole mess - housing and subsequent sub prime markets. IMO political muscle has been exerted for 20 years to water down lending standards and that proved to be an initial success. New home ownership. Eliminating of red lining. Creation of generational wealth by passing on home value in your estate. But when greed and regulatory over sight come into play more and more excesses take place and all is fine until the upper spiral of value disintegrates. And the paper becomes due.<BR/><BR/>I take special delight in Barney Frank attempting to somehow put a spin on his own self preservation in this mess. I am certainly no fan of O'Reilly, the MT of mainstream media, but he handed Barney his inflated ego head the other day. Frank and many other moonbats had pushed the loosening of standards in the late 80s and early 90s and Clinton went right along with it. Get your voting block into something real nice, folks. Republicans followed along in this party and just the current vote shows you there is minimal blame game and a whole lot of let's get this done with and save our collective arses. Bush, Pelosi and Frank are a total disgrace in this debacle and that is just the tip of a bi-partisan group of fiscal incompetents.<BR/><BR/>I really have a thing for welfare cheats, those with false disabilities and other low lifers that play the system for a free ride at the expense of those who actually toe the line and show a level of responsibility. However, they all pale in comparison to what was just done. IMO this was the most dishonest piece of legislation that I can remember. Wonder why this Congress has an approval rating of 17%? The thing is this will probably have little or no impact on the rest of us who will watch savings, businesses and standard of living evaporate., but will rescue the life style of a passel of eight figure salary types. Just the who got what and how much in political contributions from Fannie and Freddie tells a wonderful story - near the top of the list? Why, of course, “Fundamentally sound” Barney Frank and our next disaster into the Presidency - Obama. Personally, I will vote for Obama, but, then again, I once voted for Nixon and Bush and Jessie so I am not one for picking political acumen. <BR/><BR/>As a sometime day trader there are bargains available. I’ve been “playing” airline stocks which will fluctuate 10-15% based on oil futures (another scam). Some long time blue chip stocks are nearing lows that make them hard to resist. As far as mutual funds you can’t hide unless you are in bonds 100%. Diversification means nothing. Some just lose less than others. Commodities and energy are a roller coaster and have been, at least for me, winners. The rest? Forget it. As the Dow tumbles I move 5% into bonds with every 500 point loss. That is a substantial amount of investment allocated into one sector but all it will provide is a break even against inflation. If you can float a loan real estate is attractive since if you believe in patterns it and the stock portfolios will eventually go up. But how many years?bogofreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426734836015773086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051404717855702512.post-68716587628705038422008-10-04T09:11:00.000-04:002008-10-04T09:11:00.000-04:00I think VV is a riot but that's only because I'm p...I think VV is a riot but that's only because I'm pro casino.<BR/><BR/>Hey, bogo, I know you do financial stuff.

The recall and her candidacy for selectman failed miserably, despite all the casino stuff.<BR/><BR/> She was then foolish enough to believe that she could be successful in her second attempt. But then she ran into a monster of a competitor for selectman (who ran a juggernaut campaign) named Mr. Blank Vote. <BR/><BR/> Mr. Blank Vote was to Jessie what Ralph Nader was to Al Gore, a big vote siphon.

I saw "Honest Abe" on Toxic so maybe he'll show up? I'd start my own forum but it's way too complicated. Anyways, Mike has areas set up for various stuff from the casino from hell to just about anything else and he really doesn’t mind opposing points of views. Val is occasionally around and that is sure to bring out the best in all of us. I think LL and CPL could have their own little forum. I have not even managed to come up with a blog the last few weeks. Getting lax. <BR/><BR/>I have not been to nemasket but am always interested when my “name” is brought up and appreciate the mention and emails. Maybe they’ll write something really, really negative and I can have a flame war. Miss those flame wars now that all the yankee (always small caps) fans have gone into hiding. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I could make a nice political blog? Have the moonbats sign on? I like moonbats about as much as Howie Carr does. Is there an election coming up? Maybe something on underwear that seems to be quite prevalent topic on Toxic? <BR/><BR/>I already have the baseball thing and that is certainly more esoteric (I saw that word in an English lesson today) than anything political.
