It sounds like he’s getting more comfortable. He speaks more eloquently when he’s not angry.

Sucker Rally

January 24, 2008 Business | 1 Comment

I watched Mad Money with Jim Cramer yesterday and was shocked to see how bullish he appears to be, all of a sudden. In the morning he released a video online saying the Fed is stupid, behind the curve and should be investigated. He also dropped a bomb on America’s largest bank, saying that if Citigroup had to mark-to-market their entire inventory they would probably declare bankruptcy.

The Socialist Dilemma

January 24, 2008 Politics | Leave a Comment

Bring candy and flowers
To fight the powers
And end oppression forever

When bankers are cursed
As wealth is dispersed
Workers will band together

While society is strong
We’ll all get along
And selfish minds be purged

So greed is defeated
And poor will be treated
To everything earlier urged

But with pay guaranteed
And jobs never freed
Workers are horribly slacking

When profit is gone
No reason to move on
Production is desperately lacking

While people are weak
Politicians will speak
Sacrifice rights and property

So progress will stall
The economy will fall
Everyone descends to poverty

I have already seen several editorials blaming a lack of regulation and demanding the government reign in the evil bastards on Wall Street.

Open minds are closed

January 23, 2008 Politics | 5 Comments

I strain to avoid rolling my eyes every time I hear someone claim to have an open mind. People who believe their mind is “open” have actually managed to convince themselves that bias will not influence their decisions, failing to recognize that believing you have no bias is itself a bias. In the real world, in almost every case people are either biased or ignorant — it’s called cognitive dissonance.

As stock markets around the world descend into oblivion on this joyous holiday, I thought I would take the opportunity to remind everyone that bankers will never let their empires slip away into the abyss.

The Federal Reserve: fourth branch of government?

January 20, 2008 Politics | 2 Comments

In previous commentaries I have scolded the Federal Reserve’s indecision and the Federal Government’s spending habits. Recently in the article Bernanke fiddles while Wall Street burns I solicited rational explanations for their behavior. The response has not been overwhelming, but today I came across the following document from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis that peaked my curiosity.
