90 democrats - the party in power - voted against the Plan, IDIOT.

Yeah, and when he was President in 1998 last time we had a massive credit crunch that made the markets puke...oh, wait. Wrong guy.

1342 new lows and one new high?

Yeah, FNM and FRE held a shrinking portion in 2003, when McCain/Liz Dole were trying their hardest to rein them in. But Barney Frank and pals ran and continue to run interference on them so they can get their $100k+ donations, like Obama has.

They had a vastly growing share this year as the % of the market topped 75%, showing consistent growth [towards bankruptcy] once the Dems took over in 2006.

BHO lies so loudly and so negatively about anything he wants and we're still waiting for the media to call him on it....tumbleweeds....hell, even CNN called out his lies on his association with Ayers. Media-silence on his Rezko connections and quid pro quo. Etc.

After his previous tax plans of raising taxes on everyone making over $42k, now he promised to cut taxes on anyone under $250k, while also promising a *reduction* in spending, free health care and free college education for all. I wonder which of the two plans he'll implement?

The McCain campaign was not amused but it was ready. Quoting the nonpartisan Opensecrets.org, campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds made note that Obama reaped $1,026,497 million from Joe and Josephina the hedge fund managers this cycle, i.e. – the hedge fund industry. McCain has taken in $573,150. As for chief executive officers, Obama’s Joe the CEO jab came a day after Eric Schmidt the CEO of Google made his political debut at an Obama economic summit in Palm Beach County, Fla.

“Not only was he meeting with rich CEOs yesterday, it’s Barack Obama who has taken more campaign cash from ‘Joe Hedge Fund’ than any other candidate. Barack Obama has taken more money from Big Oil, more money from Big Pharma, and more money from Wall Street than John McCain, and if he wins this election Obama is going to take more money from you,” Bounds said.

Good, my experience was the GC/CL were awfully ignorant about a variety of issues, didn't have a clue about proper risk mgmt, and skipped many Risk Committee meetings.

Amazing how that kind of behavior often comes back to haunt one, isn't it?

3. Replace funds that are leaving, need to replace with new cash to buy undervalued assets.

4. See 2 above.

The French client's response to MLewis when informed of Salomon's troubles and rumored merger[s] seems appropos.

so Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton can wear 4-5 figure couture outfits, but not Sarah Palin? Interesting.

I thought they said for borrowers already behind by 90 days on their mortgage, not everyone. That's what the news story on one of the x/NBC website said.

Stanford has without a doubt put out the worst MBAs of the past several years, it's not even close. I'd take anyone from Purdue, UNC, Michigan, or even NYU instead.

"There's work at the Post Office!"

Ah, one of the greatest and most underrated films ever.

MS traders take their pros to Tenjune and drink Grey Goose. Knicks LOLWTF!

I can't wait for the merger of Citi-GM-Sears-Hartford-ACORN we'll be getting in about 9 months.

I say 'neigh' to that policy as well, EP. Nay! Nay! Mayday! Jimmy Cayne is crashlanding for the last time, everybody run!

The sudden appearance of all the haters who couldn't get BOjobs in Delaware is quite amusing.

OH NOEZ, GS stock is beating the market by 30% since inception!!11! Man the lifeboats!

If anyone can make the Big 3 look profitable, it's Cayne, Raines, and Fuld.

Also, I hear they aren't doing anything.

No, I'm not kidding, Cayne can still play Bridge and make Ford look profitable...
