So in terms of corp actions, this would basically just be a delisted stock with no merger value? The shareholders in Bear at least got some sort of cash from the takeover albeit very little.

Nadal will come out on top.

The GSE's shares would no longer be listed as they will become Fed property. The debt would be backed by the Fed though.

That's some funny sh--...

So, Sundin to Vancouver? Habs?

i heard it took Palin nearly two years before she said her first word!

I rest my case

Since you started posting this board has really lacked in quality, and that's really saying a lot.

I like it. It's well done.

I heard the same news from Soprano. Moron...

Thanks

I am actually in the process of reading Minsky's "Stabilizing an unstable economy". I wonder if this mess will eventually hit hear as the housing market is still doing very well although i attribute it to the resource companies doing fairly well.

A lot of the information that we require to make accurate election decisions are more than available to all of us. Unfortunately what I think is that a lot of people seem to not want to actually hear the truth about our economy and think everything is a "quick fix". For example, the massive loss of shareholder wealth that we have witnessed over the last year is correlated with the massive speculation that went on for the last 5 or 6 years in the housing market and that we need to ride it out. Noone wants to hear that, they'd rather hear that some magical fiscal policy will be implemented and all of a sudden, the markets will boom again.

Yes, but not everyones reality is the same.

Or how about the voters who have the attention span of children who only vote based on what they want to hear rather than reality?

I like this writer. His views are always objective http://www.economist.com/daily/kallery/dis...e=features_box4

It's still a good analysis. The big traders at most banks get whatever they want because of the amount of money they generate during the good times.

An interesting view from an insider: http://www.economist.com/finance/displaySt...ory_id=11897037

How ironic would it be if these !@#$ heads die like a scene in the movie of Final Destination.

I don't think he has enough control to get anything concrete actually done and the rest of Canada that is liberal. Then you come to Quebec where they oppose everything in Ottawa strictly due to language issues. The only reason imo that conservatives were elected was because of the scandal during Chretiens rein in office.

Maybe these guys could have took lessons? http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news...27-22fba817ab30

It probably doesn't but what am I a psychologist?

Actually it's conservative now...
