Why Isn't Wall Street in Jail?

"You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street," says a former congressional aide. "That's all it would take. Just once."

exactly!

I used to get in trouble for saying tush push - we are now more progressive for sure.

They could put him here at my joint, plenty of room and willing participants. He would leave a "changed" person.

And if not, certainly the most popular!

 

[coolhand]

There were a lot of very good excerpts that I could have used instead, but that one in particular kinda captures how I felt about the whole rotten thing.

It's amazing the commentary Matt captures from his interviewees and puts into his blog/articles. Makes me think a lot of stuff is sanitized by the main street press. :laugh:

15 Intense Videos From The Libyan War

http://www.businessinsider.com/libyan-war-videos-2011-3#

The internet and instant video are helping to dispel the myth that all countries but the US and it's group of immediate allies
are 3rd world uneducated cavemen societies with little or no sophistication, and Muslims just want to kill Westerners.
That's simply not true, it is obvious in these videos.

Whether or not it is reliable and true information being leaked or misleading information to actually go short while making the crowd think they were long, this website seems be onto something and should be carefully read and understood by those that know a lot more than I do regarding the potential direction of the markets. Thanks for the article.

I want my asset bubble so I'll take a QE3 with pleasure.

I wonder if it has to do with the sale of the NYSE to Deutsche Boerse AG

If you have an asset bubble, won't it eventually ..."pop"?

and if it does, would you know when to ...as they say... "pull out"!? or would you just be... "sunk"...like very other sucker out there?

 

[Birchtree]

In the summwe of 2008 I experienced a commodity asset bubble and sold those equities taking my profits and reinvesting into smelly banks. Asset bubbles can last a long time before they pop - so let me have a QE3 leading to an equity asset bubble, please.

I'm not hearing anything about this from our press. And this sure looks newsworthy to me. :suspicious:

BirchTree, my guess is that Bernanke will soon 'defend the dollar'. GDP is being revised higher as the norm. Unemployment seems to be on the downside. And, he will have to make current Treasuries more valuable so they can compete with the ones Japan will be selling. What a mess.

And, CoolHand, that is what happens when dependents are kicked out of the house.

Most parents still kick their LOP (Low Output People) children out. Teaches them the value of earning a living. The LOPs in the video are just learning.

That's just plain good. And funny. Props man.
Now to put this into an email for my two College attending children. (Before they have finalized their summer vacation plans .)

Hey Coolhand,Our press is definitely supressing news. Last weekend I watched and wondered about the Portugal Debt & EU bailout situation, but there was nothing except maybe a 1 minute useless news-byte. I guess every individual is suposed to search these things out on the internet. IMO, this may be the next shoe to drop - and the news from the UK, is related to this, as is the entire EU debacle. Finding out status on this is difficult, and intentionally being supressed. Appreciate if anyone finds any real / useful market-news about this. VR
