      John Hussman: Can the Emergency Housing Bill Be Fixed?
      a blank check priviledge to anyone in govt is irresponsible no matter to whom it's to no matter for what it's for

      relinquishing our fiscal responsibilities via our elected representatives who elect not to do their job is a waste of our democracy and constitution

      Searching for the Best Bond ETF
      excellent article and information, very educational and useful, thank you

      inflation, of course, is a more than valid concern re return – but assuming inflation will remain a problem forever is like assuming the stock market will rise or fall forever also

      in a deflationary environment, which I believe is more an issue than most people do I think, these type funds of these type interest paying treasuries have been and would be in demand

      the belief in perpetual inflation is useful for someone wanting or trying to create monetary dilution, keeping everyone focussed on spending and accepting inflation as normal

      at my age, and thus for all practical purposes, this may be true :-) however, I tend to believe that deflation alternates w/inflation in our current fiat environment (and may well have under the various gold standards, I’m not sure)

      thus, re the treasuries value, I think, like most everything else, they’ll vary over time

      and gold is great, literally; but I tend to prefer it for insurance at this point, over any increase in value; the insurance being storage of value

      and toilet paper (as per the commentator above), well, I try not to be out of it :-)

      info re international treasury etf's would be interesting, esp if they were for countries w/as close a risk base to that of the u.s. as could be found

      Bye Bye Bear - Cramer's Mad Money (7/30/08)
      i enjoy watching cramer at times, but...

      re: "Cramer also noted strength in...diverse companies as...as further evidence that the market is beginning to turn. How’d they do it? Price increases....those price increases will stay put...." -

      one question, how we gonna pay for all this with wages stagnant? :-)

      Thursday's Data Will Set the Tone
      my "guess" is the data will be dovetailed into the prevailing sentiment
      :-) ie, the info'll be more important a few days from now than in re to their true import, than the immediate market reaction'll be - just a thought

      re the upcoming supply, does seem to push rates up when so much debt keeps being issued, yuk!

      A New SEC Induced Rally?
      re: "Where does this end, and is it really the sign of a healthy market, rally or not?" -

      and if it's not a healthy market, eventually, there probably won't be a rally or not to worry about, unfortunately

      still, for my druthers, a fair and uniform protection from naked shorting, which is what i assume you're writing about (not specified), is already on the books, but needs, again, fair and uniform enforcement

      Why the Housing Bill Won't Help the Housing Market
      re the first commentater's "...always LOCAL...."

      i'm always suspicious when someone harps so hard on the "local" gong

      ie, why have we been force fed a national housing bail out bill?

      Is a Ban on Short Financial ETFs on the Horizon?
      long but great read, well worth while

      re the inverse etf's, aren't they sorta the transparency type answer you'd suggested needed at the beginning of the article?

      so my guess, especially since the tally of how many is clearly know, and commissions are even more easlily collected, they'll survive

      at least i hope so :-)

      Invest and Stop Working
      re: "...Another cautionary thing to add is that this strategy worked in Canada, where healthcare is practically free. If you lived in the US, however, you would need to save more simply for the rising healthcare costs."

      and why is it again (to those opposed), that universal health care is such a bad thing? for me, as an individual?
