Screw U: The Next Bubble May Be Higher Education
I don't believe it will be worse— August 5, 2012 1:32 p.m.
Screw U: The Next Bubble May Be Higher Education
Don, that would be a nice little arbitrage......Just make sure you borrow $100K to make it worth your while.— August 5, 2012 1:30 p.m.
Screw U: The Next Bubble May Be Higher Education
Not completely. Those in charge also lost in the stock market, the value of their homes went down, etc. But those prescient enough to realize that things were going south, were able to get very rich off the crash.— August 5, 2012 1:28 p.m.
Screw U: The Next Bubble May Be Higher Education
Or why a trillion dollars of debt should be forgiven. Forgiving this debt is just an accounting tool to just have someone else(the taxpayer) on the hook.— August 5, 2012 1:22 p.m.
Richard Russell Calls Primary Bear Market
While I'm not bearish on equities, my bullishness is more of a function of stocks going up because the fiat dollar is going down. I look at this much like the market performance in the Weimar Republic in 1921-22, although not quite to that scale. Whether the Fed is "easy" or not, one notes that the Fed bought 61% of the all treasury debt last year. http://www.moneynews.com/Headline/fed-debt-Treasu… The last few auctions have had an increase in Fed participation since 2011 sometimes approaching 80% since traditional lender countries have largely abandoned the Fed auctions. The result of this bad behavior is that the Fed is subsidizing the recklessness of the government and also distorting the market by keeping interest rates very low, even the 30 year rate is abysmal.— June 12, 2012 10:39 a.m.
Richard Russell Calls Primary Bear Market
I like Russell, and admire his longevity in writing about the markets. But one must remember that Russell is merely an observer, a guy on the sideline just adding his $0.02. If I had to compare Russell with someone, I'd like to measure him against a good friend of mine, the nonagenarian sage, the oracle, the brilliant Sam Eisenstadt of Value Line, who unlike Russell, has always his money where his mouth is. Eisenstadt disagrees with Russell in this next move and happens to be rather bullish. Sam understands the movements of the Fed and other Sam has some venerable supporters like Fischer Black(of the Black Scholes option pricing equation) who wrote this. http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/4529615?uid…. Sam is one of the few gentlemen I have ever met in the markets and happens to be a first rate human being and a man in full. I would compare him to a 1929 John Maynard Keynes(in predictive market outlook, not philosophy). Not diminishing Russell, but I think that the mention of 12,000 subscribers at $300 a pop is a pretty fallacious argument. But then again, the financial media has deadlines and does need to get their inches.— June 11, 2012 3:18 p.m.
Will Wall Street Cool on Bridgepoint?
But the wage index shows the workers have shown an increase of 9 times since 1964. http://www.ssa.gov/oact/COLA/AWI.html It's not time to cry for the workers just yet.— May 14, 2012 11:01 a.m.
Will Wall Street Cool on Bridgepoint?
For a job as an electrical technician, broadcast engineer etc, DeVry et al, are the places to get training.— May 14, 2012 10:55 a.m.
Will Wall Street Cool on Bridgepoint?
No defense of Wall Street is necessary. I'm just having issues with your blanket statements that have not been tested. Populist statements like, "There was a time when large corporations had at least a modicum of social conscience. That time is over". I'm sure that Patagonia, Ben and Jerry's, Kenneth Cole, Whole Foods et al could provide evidence to render your statement as ballyhoo.— May 11, 2012 10:11 a.m.
Will Wall Street Cool on Bridgepoint?
Don, Don, Don...the soapbox is groaning under the weight of your hyperbole.— May 11, 2012 3:40 a.m.
