Gary Weiss has an interesting blurb at his blog which may do a bit to explain why the Columbia Journalism Review has been able to stomach the thin gruel that the baloney bridgade serves up regarding the alleged, massive naked-short cover-up that knuckleheads like Phil Saunders, Patrick Bryne, and umpteen other angry bagholders claim is holding American enterprise hostage..

I know everyone's got the panties in a bundle over the so-called "bombshell" video in which Cramer purports to explain how to manipulate big stocks like RIMM, but unlike most of the indignant, including some of my colleagues, I don't buy it. [more]

Iraq. Sounds like a great place. Look at all the progress we're making. Those Iraqi police and troops will soon be able to handle security -- if by "security" you mean "savage, random reprisal killings." [more]

The Charlotte Observer has a good description of how Beazer did it.
Guess what? They wrap the giveaway back into the price of the house? Who woulda thunk it? You don't actually get something for nothing.

How dare those high schoolers try and perform a play, to a limited audience, on a current-events topic that might stir some emotions?
Good thing they didn't try and talk about "Bong hits for Jesus," or they'd be suspended.

In order to provide some relief to the beleaguered, anti NSS crowd that inhabits certain portions of this site, I have offered to answer the list of Patrick Byrne Troll questions that he posed a while back -- hoping to deflect my criticism from his God-awful performance as a CEO. [more]

So, yesterday in this quick take, I suggested that Tom Online was being snatched from shareholders at too cheap a price, because the parent company, by its own admission, no longer found public investors convenient. And since that parent company controlled the publicly-traded subsidiary, it could basically do whatever it wanted. [more]

This article makes a pretty good argument for why there's more bad to come as a result of the blowup in subprime.
Who'd have thought an officially-sanctioned Ponzi scheme like the housing bubble could implode? It's enough to make you swear off Ponzi schemes for good. Until the next one comes along.

"Mortgages requiring little or no documentation became known colloquially as “liar loans.” An April 2006 report by the Mortgage Asset Research Institute, a consulting concern in Reston, Va., analyzed 100 loans in which the borrowers merely stated their incomes, and then looked at documents those borrowers had filed with the I.R.S. The resulting differences were significant: in 90 percent of loans, borrowers overstated their incomes 5 percent or more. But in almost 60 percent of cases, borrowers inflated their incomes by more than half." [more]

The SEC has finally started to crack down on the scumbags who send out those spam emails touting pink sheet garbage.
Suspending trade in the dreck is step one. Step two is throwing these boiler-room parasites in jail.

The SEC has another case (http://www.s.../lr20030.htm) against stock swindlers from Eastern Europe who hack people's brokerage accounts, sell their holdings, use the proceeds to push up thinly-traded garbage, then sell that garbage from other accounts for substantial gains.
Be careful out there.
