      Fundamental Valuation: How Low Could We Go?
      Your remarks about a 400 or 600 on the S+P are interesting. It would have been nice to see your comparisons as to how the Fed and Treasury acted with policy then vs now. Would like to see you do another review taking this into account. Thanks

      Who We Should Blame for This Crisis
      Good story. Much better and informed than Pelosi and Barney Franks re-write of history. You exposed the many sides to this story and the truth hurts that we all to some degree had a hand in this mess, how ever small it may have been. I would like to add the SEC and Mr Cox as a do nothing Chairman who over saw the leverage increase from 12 to 1 moved up to 40 to 1 leverage and COX never kept an eye on the players as he said he would. We would have a much smaller problem with out the increase of leverage. This do nothing guy has left the up-tick rule off when it should be used. Cox never has enforced the rules on the books like Naked Shorting. Cox has help make all this current mess much larger than it should have been. Blame aplenty to go around but this guy fiddles while Rome Burns. McCain was right to say he should be Fired. Bush is like a deer in the head lights. Its all very sad and when this is over I hope this is whole mess is sorted out by a Special Prosecutor and put people in jail who did commit crimes.

      Where We Go from Here: Best and Worst Cases
      Where to start?
      Fire Sec Chairman Cox-Over saw the leverage increase that the banks and brokerage houses from 12 to 1 and moved it to 40 to 1. This was supposed to be over seen by Cox-Never Happened. Dropped the Up Tick Rule on shorts. Never enforced regulations like Naked Shorting. No leadership, just a token head who has been in hiding so he can keep is job. Cox is not the man for this job.
      Paulson
      Was head of group when he was a goldman sacs which got the leverage ratio moved from 12 to 1 up to 40 to 1. He was on the inside and had lots of insight to the CDS problem which now loom so large. For an insider he has not been pro active and slow in general to grasp the leader ship that is need. He does not appear to have as much







      savvy as one would have expected with his wall street back ground. Lehman should not have been allowed to fail, they had to much counter party risk like the CDS problems which we are now seeing.
      Fed Chairman Bernanke
      Lacks leadership. Smart guy, just acts like he is still teaching not leading. Remember he said back in 2007, No Sub Prime Problem, it is contained. When you watch him speak he just plain looks nervous and his voice cracking, makes you want to head for the hills. He is also a reacts to problems and does not get out in front of problems and when he has a good thought he takes way to long and the problem has already grown larger. Run out of space. Above guy 1 o 4 is spot on.

      New Life Ahead For MetLife - Barron's
      Dear Harry
      Thank you for creating a buying opportunity in Met Life, a first class company. Kind of sad a person in his position has so little market knowledge. You get what you pay for, congress has a 9% approval of the American Public and this guy is the top dog.

      Now's the Time to Buy Bank Stocks
      Good way to play the banks, the risk is spread out over many names. If you were to play regional names i would stay away and wait for a pull back from 52 week highs and look for quality names with good take over potential because of a large deposit base and great location(foot print). Example STI, a very large Regional with a good foot print and is way below its 52 week high with demographics coming into play, you will be in the right stock. It is still a news driven market, so scale in to any buys.

      Buying BB&T on the Dip
      BBT is a solid bank, how ever it is trading near 5 yr highs. STI for example is trading around $ 54 down from its high of $ 95 area. They have a great foot print and a large deposit base which is demand today plus the TARP will he be a help here . This bank will be bot out as they have regained descent footing now and have such a great foot print,if not they stand to gain as more banks fall into stronger hands.

      The Housing Slump Rolls On
      The drop in new permits will help keep new supply of the market and allow the secondary homes a better chance to be sold. This is the only silver lining that I see in this weak housing number.

      How Much Longer Can Money Managers Hang in Behind Energy?
      Informative article on the xlf. VP Palin is a sharp person who should be given a fair chance by the media... How ever they seem to want the Chosen One to have a cake walk into the Oval Office. We saw what they did to to Ms Clinton in the medias one side coverage. Hope the American wake up and demand a more fair coverage of who ever is running.

      Russia's Strategic Intent To Use Energy as a Weapon Has Increased
      All this talk comes back to Nat Gas.We have massive amounts- easy to get and ship. Sounds like Europe might consider a plan to to work with the USA over the next 1-3 years and tell that Russian Bear to go ____ in the woods and not be held hostage buy a Thug Country. This was a real wake up call to the world on the importance of energy independence. Imagine all the flack the USA would get if we used FOOD as a weapon?

      Earnings Preview: SunTrust Banks
      STI WOULD BE SMART TO SELL TO JPM AND USE JPM STRONGER BANKING SKILLS. STI HAS SUCH A GREAT FOOT PRINT THAT JPM WOULD MAKE MUCH MORE MONEY FOR THE STI SHARE HOLDERS.
