Big Derivatives Risks Loom For Banks
Commented Dec 29, 2009 at 12:36:23 in Business
“Thank you and I will do! But I have an easier solution starting with next election we all should vote 3rd party. Imagine the shock both parties will have when they finally see the end to their dumb wits!
It makes no sense at all to vote in either one of the current parties who are both at fault for our demise.”

“Yeah, yeah and yeah! That has been known for some time now but all I read about record profits for banks. How can that be? Oh, to collect their million dollar bonuses! They will deal with the derivative problem later and they are betting against it because they know someone will come to their rescue and they will cash in big again. I call that INSIDER TRADING! But then who do we have to hold them
responsible?”
responsible?”

“You are exactly right. After the first of the year these same banks that repaid TARP so that they could pay out their record bonuses without government interference will be back at the trough with a dog-ate-my-homework excuse for why they need money again. And if the American taxpayer has a whit of brains, he and she will call his or her congressperson and scream loudly that there will NOT be another bailout--let 'em go bust, then go after their executives and boards for losing the shareholders' (and taxpayers') money.
As for the consumer ... well, nobody bailed out the American consumer in the first place. If you've been pushed under, you need to know what comes next. YouTube phenom Ann Minch is forming a debtors' revolt similar to the "El Barzon" revolt that reshaped Mexican politics in the late '90s and you can find it at http://www
If you need help right now, and have already started to see the really tough issues come up, check out my book "Debt Hope: Down and Dirty Survival Strategies" downloadable as a .pdf at http://www

“Enjoyed the article. Where were the air marshals?”
Javida replied on Dec 27, 2009 at 15:29:04
“Word is w/ all the holiday travel, they can't be everywhere!! Is it expecting too much that they'd put the marshalls on flights when folks like Adulmutallab, who are on a watch list, are flying?
If you're on a watch list, you're treated like everyone else who files. Isn't that the most inane thing you've ever heard?? I've posted elsewhere the other options open to ensuring flying safety for those on a watch list. Why can't the US authorities get this right? Pitiful.”

“Good comment from one reader:
The real worry must now be that Gore and so many others, including all the bankers who collapsed the economy and all the big energy utilities, have caused the hugely profitable and quite unnecessary carbon trading market to be created. As a result huge numbers of traders and billions of dollars would be lost if it becomes accepted that AGW is a fiction. Those people have a huge incentive to protect the fiction so expect them to fight on hard.”

“Why was it necessary for NASA to fudge the degrees? They were not presented with facts but with distorted ones. This leaves us to believe their ultimate goal. Money, derivatives, speculators have nothing to do with cleaning up the earth. Let us start with something more simple first before we tackle the big things, like our drinking water, additives in food, hormones in meat, all geared towards greed.
Why on earth would we add ethanol, a smog producer, into our gasoline? Why put fluoride, ammonia into the water? All acidic causing cancer agents. The fact that Goldman said it will overtake the profitability of the oil with speculations is proof enough. Man cannot change the climate but we can clean up our act to make the world a better place but hey, the USA is leaving depleted uranium, agent orange,
across the world.”
