New US Home Sales to jump 30% in 2010 on tax credit, rates; Goldman Sachs.
GUFFAW!! Check it out - GS brings the funny!
That's some A-material stuff, there.
Or they're just totally shameless, but very expensive, whores. Can't quite figure which.
Anonymous, you missed the point.
The facility has been under construction for a couple years and they just told the IAEA on the 21st.
Fed regulators say banks, other institutions face $53B in losses on loans.
I wonder what the losses would look like sans M2 fiction and the other balance sheet games?
Newest pump and dump sector by GS, Home Builders. Check out the awesome earnings report by KB this morning. If it wasn't for idiot investors so willing to buy their bonds and never-ending secondaries they would be BK already. I mean how do companies stay in business when they don't make any money for years?
I think those goverments are beating around the bushes. If you have pain in the stomach only a dumb doctor will think that ulcer is the most likely cause. A smart doctor will ask you what you eat,how are your teeth(far away from your stomach). Very simple solution will be:1-Isolate banks from IB.2-No leverage in any market(stocks,futures and the likes).3- No more TBTF.4-No goverment subsidies for retiremnt accounts(or better yet,banning all retirement investment through mutual funds;invest your money yourself or spend it),and that will take out the bargaining chip from Wall st. that they keep holding goverments hostage with.
Those from Egan-Jones Rating Actions, are only suggested titles to watch, not intended as buy or sell signals, right?
