I suppose the bankrupcy lawyers see a giant boom ahead.
To: proxy_user
That and accountants to figure out this train wreck.

This guy loses his butt giving someone elses money away and that is supposed to reflect on the whole economy?
Sorry - I’m not biting

I saw him interviewed this morning and he said the opposite. "Though in 50 years Ive never seen housing go down without a recession...so far its defies the odds(paraphrase."
He said he was surprised that new housing was up and people werent less optomistic. In fact he said he had several large companies wanting to invest with him but he chose Bank of America.
To: Hydroshock
Well, his prognostications weren’t so hot when it came to predicting the future of the sub-prime market, back when he elected to jump in with both feet.

"The Fed has cut the discount rate and added liquidity to the markets but those things aren't enough to turn the fundamental market around," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors in New York. He said the funds rate should be cut to 4.25 percent by year end. He's right. The yield curve never should have been inverted in the first place.

Like he knows? To bad he didn’t see bankruptcy in the future and manage is company in a little more conservative manner.

1/12 of 1% of our economy... right... I see depression for this man’s company and a Capitalist picking up the pieces and making a fortune in the future.

He’s crying in his soup. His statements are a desperate plea for the Fed to lower rates, in an attempt to save his own bacon.
Capitalism without bankruptcy is like religion without hell.

The widespread use of investment money to fund mortgages is something new. There’s always a learning curve. Americans have always taken risks and jumped in with both feet. It’s messy but we always end up being leaders in the marketplace.

I saw him on Cavuto’s show the other day. Didn’t I see him in “The Godfather?” Or was it “Goodfellas?”
He’s straight from central casting; shiny suit, pointy shoes, etc.

I can't even remember what he looked like but he SOUNDED shysterish?
Are you the same guy that called Rush many, many years ago...an attorney?
To: Hydroshock
Angelo should spend more time in his tanning and toning bed.
To: Suzy Quzy
Nope. Different guy. I did get through to Rush once when he did a local show in NYC. That was a long time ago!
