Steadygain's Account Talk

[Frixxxx]

The easiest thing by far would be to take all the money that was wrongfully gained - and throw back into the economy (which now and forever will have far better regulations - various over sights - and runs with balanced effeciency. But I have no idea how to get it back or where it went and apparently nor does anyone else.

That's not really easy:

A bank CEO shows that he has brought in 10000 loans with earning potential of $1,000,000,000. He gets a bonus of 5% of all he brought in. He gets $5,000,000.

The bank doesn't really have the billion dollars. so it really doesn't have the 5 million to pay out. This is the problem.

Now, if government wants to control executive pay, maybe a (cash only bonus) from (starting liquid assets - current liquid assets) * .5 would be a better way of doing things.

(See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/TARP-Panel-Report-Cites-cnbc-14197496.html ) (side note: making private companies adhere to government policies seems a little daunting to me)

This should be where the board AND shareholders determine packages.

My measly $0.02

That's not really easy:

A bank CEO shows...

Maybe we should have the IRS or DOJ go into each bank and do a FULL audit, If they look clean issue them a certificate of good health, if not start procicuting the board.

First - Welcome Aule Mar !!! - you will undoubtedly be a welcome asset to the rest of us.

Okay - the most important thing we need to focus on are the Traditional Banks that you're referring to

versus the Shadow Banking that caused the overwhelming bulk of our current crisis.

The traditional have already been hugely targeted and the Government and FED have very much audited everything about anything to do with them....

It is the Shadow Banking - that had no regulations - no one monitoring what's happening - and largely no way to effectively control their hugely secret schemes that is responsible for what happened.

We know how Leman Brothers operated in Shadow Banking because they had tracable records...now they are gone

Most of what has happened is 'untraceable'

The news can only focus on common knowledge stuff - that's why the CEOs and all have gotten so much publicity...

but that's all just a small slice of the overall picture

Sorry Frixxxx,
Duty called and I barely skimmed over the previous posts when I made my last comment.

First your 'measly 2 cents' - is highly valued and appreciated

The link you included I just read through and I think it's an excellent idea to project that Congress is taking this matter seriously and doing all it can to make sure a panel are in place.....blah blah

AS LONG AS IT'S LEGIT and not a Political 'good face'...

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are old news to me... and it's like duh

Your point about the CEO is a very good one and I've thought about the same kind of thing over and over... how do we find where the money went and get it back... but much of it has disappeared...

 

[Steadygain]

Okay - time for DAMAGE CONTROL

Well everyone let's leave off on a good note.

We were highly engaged and interacting with one another and that's how DEEP BONDS and LASTING FRIENDSHIPS are formed.

Guys and Gals both joined in and fairly STRONG OPINIONS were given and that is WONDERFUL - because we need a place where we can say how we feel and really be able to express what's on our mind or in our heart.

ULTIMATELY LOVE - AND UNDERSTANDING - BUBBLED UP

and it is a WONDERFUL PLACE FILLED WITH MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE


Have a Great Night everyone!

I just love everybody, But am just so shy!!!

This was on the radio this moring driving to work and I thought it was such a beautiful song. It's not crude at all - anyway I loved it.

Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight
The music playing
Our bodies swayin' in time
In time, in time, in time

Touching you so warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine

Mmm
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby, baby
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Oh my darling
Oh my baby
You got the moves that drive me crazy :toung:
And on your face I see a trace of love
Of love, of love, of love
Come hold me close
Don't let me go
I need you, honey
I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above

Oh, rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

And baby, baby
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Ain't it good
Ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight

Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

Baby, baby
Rock me gently
Rock me slowly
Take it easy
Don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before

hopefully somone wil take the time to play it thought before the weekend is over and I hope with all my heart you enjoy it as much as I did.

There are some I owe a huge appology to and I sincerely hope this will suffice in making things right. I could send a PM to each of you - BUT I'M DOING MY BEST TO AVOID THE PMs and in fact I'll probably shut the PM service down in the near future.

About the time I started on the MB - I had done extensive research on Brain Rhythms and came to find how one in particular dominated overall control. Then I moved on to the Earth and found the same rhythm was the underlying base rhythm. From there I studied the Oceans and saw the remarkable similarities between how it functions from the Brain's perspective and how it's design is identical to our Respiratory System.

In the end I concluded the Earth serves as a Huge Conductor and that we humans could connect on levels far beyond what we previously realized was even possible. In my further studies of the Universe I saw how this same rhythm would be central to everything - and I understood to a large degree how everyhing interconnected and how the design itself was perfect and could see way more than I ever dreamed possible.

So in an open forum - with total random connections - annonomous and immensely built in safety I came on with a huge endeavor to prove that not only could connections be established but their could honestly be a BLENDING of ENERGIES - an experience where by we could thoroughly give of ourselves and reap in all the benefits of total abandonment (actually experience the wonders of our capabilities) regardless of the distence.

In the beginning my marriage was a cohabitation with little to no relationship...and so I guess I was starving in a big way... and I found way more than I bargained on NEVER DREAMED THE EXTENT by which these energies could blend and grow - BUT WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE the huge results.

But I over stepped my bounds and THAT IS VERY WRONG. Lost in my own little world or wonder and delight I NOW SEE HOW I WAS LIKE POISONING OTHERS AND PUTTING THEM IN VERY DIFFICULT SITUTIONS.

So I really am very sorry for any awkwardness or tension or whatever NEGATIVE I could have caused.

My wife and I have been renewed and I have way more in real life than I could ever get in an artifical world. So to whoever you are - Please forgive me and please know I'd really like to be friends openly and genuinely...because the private stuff is a thing of the past.

I hope this make sense.


God's warmest blessings and peace

Hey, how come I never got no stinking pms from you? Just kidding my friend - would you like some penitence to perform. I know I spent way to much time in catechism and my catholicism roots are showing even in my investing - suffering is what I like and do best.

It's amazing how in touch this is with me Birch. Today I'm in one of the greatest endeavors I've ever embarked on in regards to the MB relationships - dealing with a situation that only God would be able to intervene in and bring about the hope and help I'm trying to extend and stir the one concerned to ulitize and accept what I'm making available.

It's only because of this I've more than encountered the pain of unresolved issues. It's not that I have anything "to earn" - a penitence to perform - it's totally and completley my ability to TRUST and making sure there is nothing that impedes that trust. I guess I view it collectively as garbage - and making sure no garbage is getting in the way. So I can keep the deep friendships, let true love remain alive, stretch my heart and give my life and show compassion and all these things on the open MB and not have to feel a part of me is hidden.

What I set out to discover and prove has been fulfilled so it's no longer wondering if my theory is right - I know it is - it was experienced and it is undeniable so I am content with that knowledge. I'm just amazed that it's not a more common phenomenon because it's probably the ultimate experience BUT NOW I REALIZE FROM A MORAL PERSPECTIVE and a deeper sense of integrity - truth - and honor - it is certainly something as a husband I would not want my wife doing...something she would not want me doing...and something that would cause the same dilemma for those going through this experience. But how was I to know it would work when it had never been done before... so in the process of discovery I would say I learned a lot.. NOW IT'S TIME TO LET IT GO. But for husbands and wifes who are seperated by substantial distances or lovers who have parted and wished they were together it a wonderful thing.

Well onto the MARKETS.
This month will bring NEW LOWS - and with that I expect a 5% Gain.

 

[Steadygain]

With consumers and businesses so deeply behind I expect the 'fireworks' to go off soon. (Bear Fireworks - not Bull ones) Fortunately the GDP was given a 'better rating' only because so many items were stock piled on the warehouse shelfs - so the truth is worse than projected.

That means this quarter the items will have to be sold off and that means PRICES will be fantastic. Forget the home mortages for a moment and look at the overall picture: Companies and Industries will drastically cut back Production which means increasing jobs will vanish and plants closing and fulltime becoming part time and all those things. Consumer confidence will dwindle even further because spending beyond the bare neccessities is simply insane unless you plan to live under a bridge or in a shelter.

So looking strictly at the fundamentals - I think the false floor will break open and hense we should be approaching something worthwhile like 700 to 750. Here I see this exactly as James (P&F Chart) sees 810. Many will flock to these 'New Lows' and the Markets will likely jump substantially before they peak and eventually come back down. This is where I hope to make at least 5 to 8%.

With only 2 IFTs a month - you have only one 'PRIME MOMENT' to go FULLY HIGH RISK' and one 'PRIME MOMENT TO FLEE TO SAFETY'

Let's hope this month brings some very good gains for everyone of us.

That is misinformation of the worst degree. Any HR person can tell you it won't happen. I would almost call it irresponsible scare tactics. And I say that with as much respect as I can muster.

OK - it is with the utmost and deepest respect that I reply to you.

I am far from perfect and many of my external actions would probably make some think my inner core is evil or bad or distorted or damaged and if that is true then it is part of the human condition and I am very human.

On the whole I stive to let the inner core be something deeper and more wholesome, something that reflects a greater good - something that shows we do not have to be stuck in an uncaring and insensitive world.

The information I reflected was merely a synopsis of how the TSP Authority dealt with a situation they perceived as a problem by a very small number - especially compared to 4 million. My perception was based on PMs sent from the MB - of people who came under fire, of many forced to go 'under the radar' and change names...of personal stories of fear of losing their jobs..and knowing others who 'got lucky' by only having to take 2 weeks off WITHOUT PAY. So if I was mislead then I am terribly sorry - but I don't believe that is possible because the stories were too real and reflected too much pain and concern.

To me the lives of people are way more important than the day to day Market changes. If I honestly - after deep reflection - became convinced that their jobs may be in danger AND I DID NOT SAY ANYTHING then I would call that 'irresponsible' BUT IF this action stemmed from a core that was genuine - loving - caring - concerned - and felt the dread and anguish of what others would suffer - THEN I WOULD SAY IT WAS WITH THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE RESPONSIBILITY that I went forward. If somehow I was able to keep some jobs secured then I am very grateful I listened to my heart and said what I did. HR is at the lowest end of the rung dealing with their little piece of a very huge puzzle. There are many layers of much higher authority over that small piece until you finally get towards the very top. If the top layers decide to take action - it will roll down to HR.

We may not see the same on every situation, we may not share the same beliefs across the board - so the best we can do are seek those things we have in common and strive to be authenic. I deeply respect who you are and all you stand for.

I'll take a little break today - GL everyone.
