Taxpayer Bailout Money Fattens AIG Bank Accounts
2009-03-16 16:57:00 $450 million of American taxpayer money is slated to go to bonuses rewarding executives of the failed, American International Group. AIG took no higher moral stance than any other bailed-out company in refusing to award merit-based year-end bonuses to those who contributed to their companies' downfall."It's in their business contracts," said National Economic Council President, Larry Summers (of "Women aren't smart enough to succeed at math and science" Harvard Pres. infamy). "Government can't do anything to stop them," he exclaimed, while rolling over and revealing his pale yellow underbelly.Now Obama administration officials are worried about a backlash, yada, yada, yada. Well, damned right, they should be worried about a backlash. Financial industry executive bonuses are designated as merit-based. No merit equals no bonus, right? Doen't FAILED COMPANY = No bonus?

Phil Mickelson wins bailout money, Ogilvy swaps golf ball mid-hole and matc
2009-03-02 18:32:00 Click here to listen.Until the recent flood of bank bailouts occurred, I'm not sure that the masses knew, or really cared, what financial institutions did with customer funds, so long as the economy was secure. So, in a sense, good came from this massive overhaul as disclosure helped open the eyes of the world to the vast waste and appetence that banks have kept hidden under their veils of secrecy.TMZ recently educated viewers on one such bank, Northern Trust, which spent millions of dollars on the sponsorship and advertising related to it's same-named tournament. Extravagant parties were thrown for hundreds of clients and employees of the company and although local hotels, businesses, entertainers and even tournament winner Phil Mickelson received benefit from the outpouring of capital, it hardly helped put the economy back on track.According to TMZ, a Northern Trust representative stated that operating funds were utilized, not bailout dollars. Of course, that logic seems skewed ...

Focus is on bailout plan
2009-02-01 16:10:00 With the bailout plan delayed for another week, it leaves the market in anticipation. I rather they get on with it and let the plan out. Market dislike uncertainty and i should expect the support and resistance to hold if there are no major newsflow. Otherwise, if we look at the bigger picture, we are in this trading range. The only consolation is that this trading range is huge and it is possible to profit from both long and short. What i fear most is an illiquid market with tight range. However this is also the first sign of market bottom. Read any trading books, you will know market bottom is usually not volatile and slow.

Bye Bye Bailout, for Now (Addendum And Bump)
2008-12-12 14:56:00 The Wall Street Journal: WASHINGTON – A frantic, last-ditch attempt to forge a relief package for the auto industry collapsed in the U.S. Senate, dealing a giant blow to the immediate hopes of the Big Three. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada suggested the $14 billion wouldn’t be revisited until January. “It’s over with,” he said. The talks, which appeared close to a deal several times, broke off due to a sharp partisan dispute over the wages paid to workers at the manufacturing giants. General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC, which have said they can’t last the year without federal aid, both hope the White House will now relent and allow the Treasury to provide emergency loans from the $700 billion Wall Street fund, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Reid also urged that option. Won’t last until the end of the year? Why? Hold ‘da phone. Bruce over at Q&O points up an article at Forbes: It seems that the stench is fin...
