My money is small time hustling. Im on track to having almost $1000 extra dollars this year. How are you doing this year? Let me know if you have any questions about this in the comments below.

With the prices so low I feel like I shouldn’t miss this opportunity. Or am I just being greedy and should put my money somewhere safer?

V, NVDA, AAPL are my current holdings.

The Fed tried doing this a few months back but instead of lowering rates European central banks actually raised them. I guess they all learned to play ball.

me: Why is Obama a better choice as a young professional?

Jared: Because he understands young people. This is evidenced by the fact that he raised $66 million in the month of August, largely through online fundraising. Obama understands the importance of internet, just like young professionals, and is able to use it to his advantage – unlike John McCain who openly admits he’s never “done a Google.”

Obama also wants universal health care now. Young professionals jump around a lot between industries – they are trying to find their place in the work world. It becomes harder to do this if you have to worry about things like benefits and health insurance. If we all had health insurance, someone like you could take more chances, and maybe jump into that start-up. You could pursue your dreams like you always wanted to.

Barack is also brilliant – a Harvard Law graduate – he pays more attention to both sides of the issues, and would be more focused on diplomacy and less likely to start or prolong unnecessary wars. That right there should let you know he’d be a better leader for young professionals. People like you and I who are trying to get our careers started – we have no interest in things like war. That trillion dollars that we threw away in Iraq – that money could be spent right here at home, stimulating our economy and opening up job opportunities.

We also are not in that top .01% economic category that Republicans actually represent. We’re also not of the religious right. We support progress, and change – we represent the future, and that’s what Obama represents.

Additionally, Barack Obama supports renewable energies, and true investment in those technologies. He’s aiming to free our generation from having to raise our kids in the throws of a global warming crisis. Obama will forge ahead into the future, and bring these technologies to the forefront. He see’s where we need to go – and he’s willing to take us there.

Everyone needs to understand that this election is clearly a choice between the past and the future, and I suggest we proceed, onwardly and upwardly into the “next.”

The recent activity on the site is more about investments and certain stocks. That seems to be the most popular so far. What are the readers interested in?

Possible solution:

Since the choice of lenders is really to take a small loss by restructuring mortgages or be stuck with property, a wide spread resturcturing needs to occur.

What if the FED came in and bought all these restructured Mortgages. Then bundled them up and sold them, but not how they are being sold now. The buyer of these bundles will recieve all capital gain on the sold house.  The owner of the house gets back all equity that he put into it, and the owner of the security gets all the gains. The home owners would probably agree to this because its either this or their house gets forclosed.

And large institutions, that are fine witha  very long term investment, would take these bundles because a possibilty for very large gains, housing market will rebound eventually.

Obviously this is a very general solution. What does everbody think?

This is a theory my corporate finance teacher had. He explained it very well in class, and everything anybody said he quickly proved on how this would work. I didnt do a great job explaing it, but feel free to respond with faults int he system and Ill see if I can answer them how my teacher answered.

So we had/have a credit crisis. So the fear of the crisis was that due to the intermingling of the banks and brokerages assets with each other, if bank (A) fails and thus pulls capital from bank (B), bank (B) will have to either find more capital or it too will fail. If bank (B) fails, it will pull capital from bank (C) and so on. Each time this capital is pulled, since it is leveraged, it will lead to deflation as loans across the board will be instantly called in.

OK I’m with ya so far.

So the Fed says ‘this is eerily like the 1929, when investors were heavily margined and a succession of margin calls caused the great crash. We must make sure that these banks/brokerages don’t fail by constantly adding liquidity to the market. Hell let’s open up a TERM AUCTION FACILITY and just auction off money to banks! Worst case scenario, we create excess liquidity and inflation.

OK I’m with you still, but now what. I mean, the market seems to (at least for the moment) be pricing in the end of credit collapse hell, but what about that inflation? Rates are low, everybody and their butthole brother can borrow money and buy cheap homes, we’re getting government checks in the mail in a month (paid for by borrowing), have we sacrificed the future for the now?!?
