Because they are one nation under god?

I would if I could http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/marilyn-monroe-sex-film-to-remain-under-wraps/2008/04/15/1208025130326.html

hmm. I found them fascinating books and didn't consider him a blowhard, possibly because I've met far too many rote dullards who work in the financial sector so I agree with some of his underlying ideas. I actually think them better books for theories of non-financial risk analysis.

I'm more interested in the Marilyn Monroe BJ movie

Had France is looking much nicer - you can actually own property. Noticing a nice speculative bubble has built in the Mt. Blanc region

me too.

Wonder if we'll have any Winnipeg's out there (real estate picked in 1882 or so and has never recovered it's value)

tsk, tsk, tsk

What are the operating expenses you have to cover and how are they accounted for? What is the expected donation to charity? Why should one donate to them and not Frank Water and Mercy Corps directly?

Yup. Even snowmobilers falling 250 feet off a cliff aren't that sexy http://www.kvnews.com/articles/2008/03/29/news/doc47ed433adef7c398306571.txt

Hehe. Wonder how long they last on their own? They, Moonlight Basin and Big Sky could linkup for a megaresort. Now if only Alpine and Squaw will stop squabbling, buyout the dude with the lift, and linkup as well.

Snowmobiles are required to be registered. In WA your $30 registration gets you a snowpark permit as well.

They are too busy trying to find a top notch minority lawyer a job http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/washington/13gonzales.html

Y'all look at this

As long as I can "fall" into the crater with my skis on I'm cool

whats this here snow lege fer?

And into my tummy

Most everything classic is south of Yosemite on 395 - it's a better drive up to Yosemite than one down. A fantastic area to be in.

at least she wasn't stating how people go back to basics when their local society is under stress - we'd have to string her up for threatening the god/guns/xenophobia tripod

I think it's a semantic argument. "systemic risk" to me is people believing in the great realestate ponzi scheme that will make them rich so buying a $1.1million 2.5 bed home is a good investment guaranteed to appreciate when someone can rent a 1 bedroom closer to the beach for $900/mo. That is a great systemic risk "pointsource risk" to me is people believing that BSC and company's like will ever be allowed to fail so there's no risk in being BSC or doing business with BSC. The profit for point sources tend to be higher so they earn more ire from me.

No dams and pro Salmon

I owned one. It's a sweet jacket if you actually climb.

At $10 a share I'm not sure "liquidation" is an accurate term. The government stepping in because Bear's counter party risk was simply to great suggests that there is no risk for people doing business with bad companies. If there's no risk for people doing business with you, why not run a bargain basement shop? Your neighbor got a $200k home on a subprime; Cayne got a floor at the Plaza for $25 million cash from BSC

I suspect you are correct. As with Bear Sterns is the short (or perhaps not so short) term pain be worth maintaining the long term balance?
