I approve and Gregor you have been awarded a 10 yr multibillion dollar to electrify the Northeast corridor. Congrats. :) (If only I had this kind decision making power, I can have a morning dream.)

Seems like the ETF are the new leveraged mortgage back securities of today. Just a matter of time before they implode too.

Re: A Keynsian Phantasmagoria

This is so possible. I am so possible. Given that the House and Senate are looking as if they will be going Dem as well come November. But, it does depend on how much Keysian-Ade Obama drinks and his aids too.

It seems that Paulson and Bernanke think they are rock stars and the crowd is going crazy given the markets. It is not, because of the great music they are playing, but their transparency.

Great post.

Love this, but I must say. I feel like we are about to play a game of dodge ball and it is the US government vs the people. Where the government is picking all their friends Mac, Mae, AiG and grabbing the big, stupid players and leaving the people the LEHs and the fast, but skin ones

Re: Monopolies Suck, But SO DOES ‘FREEMIUM’

rosswhiting — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 03:23:24 -0000

Freemium and Choice are to different things. You have the Freedom to choose what ever you want and if that choice don't exist in a place where I would like it. I, either blame the place that I think should have it like the XL band-ads I want that Walgreens doesn't sell. I, then might blame the larger market for never having what I want and why doesn't a company exist or a geek hacker type make these XL band-ads. I then could blame myself for even wanting or having the need for XL band-ads when it appears that no one else has my need or desire. Lastly, I have been known to huff and puff and say that God is laughing at me and pointing his finger at me and my tantrum. After the tantrum blows over and all the blaming and thinking fade. I might just use two large band-ads and solve my problem by hacking something together. :)

Gotta quote, George Church, I always tell people,, your biggest problem in life is not going to be hiding your stuff so nobody steals it,.....It;s going to be gettting anybody to ever use it." Just like this quote. Makes so much sense. Thanks George for all your work and passion. Never meet you, but aspire to. Until our paths cross.

Re: The Bank of Apple…Should They Buy a Bank..and Starbucks?

Apple might want to buy a Chinese gaming site like tencent holdings or perfect world or just buy Ford and make iCars. Lots of iCars
