    Nine Months Later: Some Annual Predictions from the Financial Press [view article]
    Root Problem: FRE & FNM used up to 100x leverage, AIG & LEH used up to 30X leverage; and that's after the banks used up to 10X Leverage on financial debt. This has to be stopped. The root problem going back to 1912 has to be fixed.

    WWW.GrandfatherReport....

    Richard Fuld, CEO of LEH, admitted to 30x leverage contributing to the problem.

    Now I read on seekingalpha.com about FRE and FNM doing 100:01 leverage on their debt insurance.

    Most investment banks were leveraged by a ratio of 30 to 1, and they were dealing with billions of dollars instead of thousands. Government sponsored mortgage giants Freddie (FRE) and Fannie were using leverage closer to 100 to 1, because of their supposedly stricter lending standards and implicit government backing.

    seekingalpha.com/artic...

    How can "we the people" know the root cause is being "fixed" if we don't know about the root cause. Most of the news is telling us the root cause is a lack of confidence about all those mortgages being paid as agreed.

    And are we sure we understand what happens when 100:01 leverage is applied after the fractional banking reserve requirement is applied? Maybe if this subject needs a spotlight to get people's attention. Then maybe the "lack of confidence" could be better understood.

    Well 10 months later and Cramer's picks perhaps have lost people a lot of money. Just goes to prove that even the so called smart guys don't know shi......... Reply

    You forgot 2008 was year of natural gas. doh............I am starting to think Cramer doesn't mind making so many wrong calls because he seems to just feed off of attention, good or bad. Self absorbed or narcissist might be what you call it. He was saying sell everything in the morning then afternoon was saying load up on chocolate bars with almonds. He needs to go back to his winning ways......buy everything in a bull market and then call yourself a brilliant mind. Clearly the guru that was suppposed to guide "cramericans"... through the darkness forgot to fill his torch. It is getting harder and harder to even turn on Cnbc. They have so many "experts" yacking and sounding like puppets that are expert at calling things after the fact. Gee that sounds like reporting.....maybe if they would report and then shut up instead of predicting it would be more interesting but likely less entertaining for the masses. Reply

    These picks are down an average! of 29.98% into Oct. 7. Goes to show it's not what happens but how you sell it. Reply

    Please just remember that if you are going long that you are truly gambling if you don't have your exit strategy in place from the start. And make sure its adjusting to the market as it needs to. Don't rely on a lame trailing stop which is not at all reflective of that stock's behavior and market conditions. Reply

    Wii stays out of stock because of strict manufacturing rules. The bad news? It's hard to find them. The good news? The failure rate is less than 1%, nearly unheard of in the digital gaming realm. Reply

    Love the way they build up a system of HDTV, movies on demand and even content like the presidential debates on demand. They never end with telling you to Check this out. Even their home page seem rather large and slow. In Short.....They are the problem they complain about. Even if these people never get near 250GB comcast ask you to waste more GB on things using their falling apart system. Reply

    Wii Fit stays out of stock no matter what Nintendo does. So before it runs out of stock this time too, purchase one. wiifitinstock.weebly.c.../ would help you locate one from some of the coolest and most trusted sites online. Reply
