" Investors wondering where the nationalization train stops.




Is it really a coincidence that Fidel Castro stepped down and Northern Rock was nationalized at the same time?


Won’t the first order of business by the British government be to pay $48 billion back to the Bank of England as shareholders are once again left holding the bag?


Is the specter of nationalization why the U.S. dollar is off 50 bips this morning?


Are investors taking this as a sign that, feet to fire, the U.S. government will act in a similar manner?


Thereby casting a ballot in favor of hyperinflation over deflation?


But, as per Mr. Practical, don’t all roads lead to deflation?


What the heck am I supposed to do with all my DVD’s?


Did you really think I was serious about Fidel and Northern Rock?


The S&P has been up three of the last four weeks and we’re still churning under resistance?


No, really…do you see the bearish churning in the S&P, DJIA and Russell under 1405, 12800 and 735 respectively?


When the going gets tough, the US pension guarantor gets....riskier?


Does anyone else think kumquat sounds like a dirty word?


Are Minyans really surprised to see nationalization arrive?


I mean, honestly, whether you agree with it or not, isn’t this the natural next step after socialization efforts that included proposed bailouts, stimulus packages, super-conduits, mortgage-rate freezes, foreclosure freezes, and working groups?


Six minute abs?


Did you notice that hedge funds stepped up to assume the risk in the auction rate securities market?


Is this an intuitive step as they assume the functionality of broker-dealers?


Eddie Lampert cut his Citigroup (C) stake by a third, proving once again that good traders know how to make money but great traders know how to take a loss.


I wonder what the prince, Prince and Prince think of that?


Did you see that Con Edison (ED) warned that households are falling behind on their electric bills following a 12% rise in delinquencies?


Who the heck pays good money to get hit in the nose at 6:00 AM? (Hand raised.)


How do you say Qatar?


Is this what they mean when they say “blood hound?”


Is S&P short interest is really near the 10-year low reached in 2000 (according to Goldman as reported in Barron’s)?


Which way will the dichotomy between the credit markets and stock markets rectify?


Why is everyone so quick to assume that municipality credit is considered “safe?”


Sacre Bleu! Have you seen Hoofy and Boo’s take on the Societe Generale scandal?


Did you know that during the S&L bailout, $125 billion of the total $160 billion bar tab was picked up by the government?


Is the biggest difference between then and now the intricate derivative machination that currently weaves the world together?
