FDIC DATA ABOUT COLLAPSING BANKING SYSTEM

Today, we visit the FDIC to look at the latest charts and graphs they publish. And we visit the Nikkei news in Japan to get more graphs. This is all about understanding why the biggest, most international banking/investment systems went under so suddenly and so totally. Throwing good money after bad is [...]

RUBIN ADMITS HE IS A CLUELESS FOOL

Rubin is now under sustained attack from not only Krugman of the NYT but now, the Wall Street Journal.  This means, this idiot, this horrid, stupid, incompetent fool will probably not be in charge of the many trillions of bail out money that our government is spilling all over the place.
 
Good riddance.  Also, we look [...]

THREE STUPID GENIUSES: GREENSPAN, RUBIN and SUMMERS

Mr. Krugman is halfway smart: he is an economist who understands some of the dangers of the Floating Currency. But he doesn’t go after ‘free trade’ or he would lose his perch at the NYT, I guess. But yesterday, he took off after the ‘Three Musketeers’: Greenspan, Rubin & Summers. This is [...]

LAST STUPID MEGA-DEAL COLLAPSES IN CANADA

The last of the behemoth mega-debt deals has collapsed.  There are none left from the Japanese carry-trade Wild West days of 2007, the year that saw more debts dumped on corporations than any time in history.  The deal that finally collapsed here is one that the shareholders of  BCE didn’t want to see in the [...]

COOKING THANKSGIVING TURKEY AT DAWN

Today is Thanksgiving Day in America.  We get to thank whatever gods or goddesses or flying horses, for our good fortune.  Too bad, we let a bunch of crazed gnomes destroy our good fortune.  We shall deal with them later!
 
But today, I have some of my family over for Thanksgiving Dinner.  Alas, my own children [...]
