      Citigroup: The End Draws Near
      Agree end of Citi is near the way the stock price behaves and its effect on its business eg people might lose confidence leading to loss of business/deposits and vicious down spiral like Bear Stearns/Lehman. Only the govt can bail out Citi.

      What Can the U.S. Learn from Japan?
      Good analysis, no more back to business as usual. We will see deflation, deleveraging before a new beginning. Meanwhile to ride the storm which may last for years, keep cash/govt bonds.

      Eddie Lampert's Troubles: It's Not Just Sears
      Good analysis, throws light on holdings of RBS Partners that is not generally known. With hindsight a cut loss strategy is most appropriate but then cut loss is not in the value investor's vocabulary who might even buy more at lower prices.

      Force Protection: Never Fall in Love with a Stock
      Agree with Kingsley never fall in love with a stock never mind some investing legend saying that the preferred holding period is eternity. Kingsley has given first hand experience to prove his point, no doubt there will be many other stories to prove the point of not falling in love with a stock.

      Someone said the only reason to hold a stock is if it is rising, some think this is intellectual lightweight stuff but the logic is there. Like not falling in love with a stock.

      Investment Woes Torpedo Markets
      Good article with relevant comments by "old" Richard Russell. It is a fair description of reality currently and what is likely to unfold next year which is basically very bearish.

      Instead of trying to prescribe this and that, we have to let this storm pass because we cannot do anything about it except avoid making foolish moves recommended by this and that investment legend andthat "cash is trash".

      Thursday Market Preview: The Bears Are Firmly in Control
      Agree currently bears in firm control. At some point maybe Dow 7k there will be a reflex rally as always, in which case we go for a trade up. Traders will be kept busy down first then up. Does not appear to be a time to dig in with big long positions never mind this guru this and that investing legend saying "cash is trash" - it is survival first.

      Widening Rich/Poor Gap Spreads Contradict Global Recovery
      Support Rakesh short position in SPY and agree with his logic that sp500 will hit 700 maybe sooner than he thinks. No time to be fooling around, shorting may be worthwhile.

      East vs. West: China Plays a Better Long Term Hand
      Economically China's economy is better managed with common sense. China will suffer along with the world in this recession but longer term its relative strength should be greater.

      Is Citigroup Failing?
      Looks like Citi will have to be bailed out somehow or nationalized like AIG.

      Inflation Remains Beyond Our Horizon to Predict
      Good point about inflation being triggered only if money moves ie velocity picks up. Otherwise money supply alone may not trigger inflation, in fact we now have deflation in the face of massive money supply.
