Re: Investors in Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi Scheme

The Judicial system is missing the boat on this one. There is a deal that should be made with Madoff.

The objective is NOT revenge, but Restitution and Reconstruction.

NO ONE WANTED TO “KNOW”

From New York to Geneva, corruption is rampant and complex on Wall Street, including the process of accumulation of this much cash..

The changes on credit card legislation will have absolutely no real impact on consumers and their use of credit cards.

WHITE HOUSE INTERFERENCE

Chrysler and its “rogue” debt holders shouldn’t give in to the Administration’s bully pulpit.

Re: • Is Madoff Really A Wall Street Anomaly?

pjmurray,

When you look at the image the banks have created for a century, ... the Roman columns, the ornate and high ceilings, cathedral-like interiors, and the hushed voices, created a magisterial ambiance that made us all feel just a little more comfortable. Look at any picture representing Wall Street. The exchanges and brokerage attempted to accomplish the same thing.

In the meantime, you're paying 20% interest on your bank credit card, and your broker no longer returns you calls asking him to hit the bid.

Carnivals have nothing on Wall Street, its game or its players.

YAHOOâ€™S SHAREHOLDERS LOSE ON MORE THAN ONE FRONT

Great to see that cool heads have finally prevailed at Microsoft. Nevertheless, it was a seriously missed opportunity by Yahoo shareholders.

They should have been more vocal. Now it's too late. Their board did not serve them well.

Consumers should ignore the commentary admonishing them of spreading “weakness,” and “lacking confidence.”

... and Yang is confused.

AOL is not Yahoo's salvation by any means, and Yahoo isn't Microsoft's salvation either ....

Yang should get some new advisors. Then look for some enlightened strategies ... even just a little creative... not panic driven.

As corporate layoffs accelerate, could we look at other cutbacks to reduce the carnage and unemployment lines?

Re: Boondoggle: Six Days After It Begins Obama Admin. Already Considering Ending "Cash For Clunkers"

OBAMA & HIS ADMIN. ARE STILL IN THE ARROGANT MODE

Cash For Clunkers flew in the face of common sense, and now, ...... Government Capping Compensation?

Giving more power to vehicles such as the SEC for example, reminds us of the abject incompetence the SEC demonstrated through the economic extravagance that allowed Wall Street the power and influence to exploit, and then erode, the financial health of the Nation.

Re: Interesting: Confidence In Obama Is Plummeting, But Confidence In Republicans Isn't Rising

Confidence, real confidence, will return when taxpayers see some real action to clean up the mess.

Bernanke had the gall to threaten Congress and the American people with economic destruction. Get this arrogance out of the Fed, ... just for a start.

The Kings of Wall Street have long coveted the absolute supremacy they now enjoy over the largest economy in the world. The debt is a problem, but vast change is necessary throughout the banking system. A radical change is needed on Wall Street.

It starts with the taxpayer's attitude adjustment.

BILL GATES and CREATIVE CAPITALISM – AN ADDENDUM

While Gates has faith in technological advances to heal the pain of world poverty, the long-term answer really lies in shifting human consciousness, and on the capitalist front, broadly affecting behavior at the corporate level. As he continues to promote progress, Bill Gates should adjust his challenge to include such paradigm shift in consciousness over the longer time horizon.
