Hi Max,
You were talking for a while about taking down Coca cola…so people doe have the feeling they can act.
What about google. I think this s becoming totally out of control and we should get the power back to the users. Just something like the linux software. Better, cheaper and standing against Bill Gates.

Oh noes, not teh shtreeet!
The SEC has a few key requirements for who they investigate and bring charges against.
The target must be small, high profile, or both. It serves to reason that anyone too big to fail is also too big to investigate. I don’t think that’s too much of a stretch since such an investigation would lead to a possible charge which would lead to a possible failure which we are apparently willing to endure any level of humiliating renumeration in order to prevent.
They are only this sensitive with the financials. GM got a a bailout because of GMAC, not because of any loyalty to the auto industry or the jobs. If any company that actually makes a real product that people actually use and has value the jackals in the bureaucracy will gladly take it down so the financials can pick over its carcass for real savings and capital.

Yes I have heard of that book, Cramer admits to most, not all of it, everyone was doing it.
2001 was when we yanked our broker accounts and have done it ourselves since.
I wonder what Max did, er I mean knows? There was some incident?
Strange…
Last night, I had a dream that I was working in a Stock Research facility, and Jim Cramer came in pointing at me saying he would let the intern help him…
I told him with emphasis that I wasn’t an intern, to which he asked me to find him the files for Morgan Stanley… ticker symbol MGST (which doesn’t even exist)
I searched through all the shelves looking for the files, but couldn’t find them…
Then I went to an area where there were some large bottles of perfume samples, which was where I found the folder in a stack of files that were waiting to be placed back onto the shelves…
This means something…
Morgan Stanley, Cramer and a fictitious company… perfume…
It all stinks…

I saw that book at the library… I guess that’s next on my reading list, thanx for the tip

The book was written by an ex-employee of his old Hedge Fund.
I ordered it (65$) immediately ( they tried to ban it BTW ! ) and had the book finished in half a day !
I couldn’t put it down , because I recognized ALL the well known names in US TV MSM and the examples he gave.

From the Editorial Review :
… This is a true insider’s story — an honest, raw, page-turning account that takes us on a journey through the volatile, anything-goes world of hedge funds. From Cramer & Company to the brokerage houses and analysts to the reporters who cover the market action, we are shown a Wall Street where almost everyone is dirty — a world where even the SEC fails to maintain order….
As I said , I’ve been onto WS fraud since ca. 2001 !
The book convinced me to start investigating ( reading ) myself !
… especially after my broker “stole” $6000 from my account !

Ben and Volks on CSPAN.
It’s becoming clear that Volker is the man to save the Fed from destruction. Nothing more. He’s another puppet to keep the status quo, imo.
Obama is a banker’s man. No doubt about it. Volker appears to have been kept in reserve just in case a credible threat was posed to the FED. All going according to plan, for Wall Street, that is.
Speculative finance and now “government” USA is one big “Vegas craps shoot” – in which “house rules” and “house always wins” (in another time – this was a.k.a. organized crime)

Lehman Scandal
Ex-Lehman Execs Shrug At Their $50B Accounting Trick
Get Breaking News Alerts

Comments 4
Welcome to the Bizarro World of former Lehman Brothers executives.
If you can believe it, some ex-Lehman executives are actually claiming that the accounting “gimmick” that hid $50 billion in assets as the company failed isn’t really worth mentioning. (Stay with us on this one.)
At the New York Observer, Max Abelson has an absolute must-read piece (“The Repo Men’s New Lehman Shrug”) in which he quotes three former Lehman executives who are out to convince us that their now infamous “Repo 105″ transactions were near standard operating procedure on Wall Street.
And, according to the New York Post, former Lehman CEO Dick Fuld actually feels vindicated by the Lehman bankruptcy examiner’s report released last week — which said that Fuld was “at least grossly negligent” in failing to discover the transactions.
So, if you’re scoring at home, to ex-Lehman brass $50 billion is an insignificant amount of money to conceal and being referred to as grossly negligent is a relief. Got that? (Bear in mind that $50 billion is roughly half the annual cost of the Democrats’ hotly-debated health care plan.)
The “Repo 105″ deals — which, the examiner found, improperly classified loans as revenue on Lehman’s books — were just too arcane for the layperson, according to one of Abelson’s sources. Lehman execs were forced to move the deals through its London office to get them approved. “It’s funny, for nonprofessionals, you can try to make it a smoking gun,” the source said, “I’m like, whatever.”
Here’s another juicy bit from the NYO:
The idea, a year and a half after the biggest bankruptcy in American history began, is that criticism of the firm is the domain of unsophisticates. “When I read this, I giggle a little bit. Because $50 billion is a shitload of money, but in the grand scheme of things,” said a third source, a former managing director in England–where the accounting gimmick, named Repo 105, was given a legal endorsement that it couldn’t get here, “$50 billion is a drop in the ocean.”
Story continues below
The NYO’s choice quotes, Felix Salmon argues, are indicative of a larger cultural problem on Wall Street — a problem, he says, that won’t be addressed in the financial reform efforts. Here’s Salmon:
“But it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that what we’re seeing here is a corporate failing to an even greater degree than it is an individual one, and that it infects investment banks generally, not just Lehman Brothers. These shops deliberately go out to hire psychopaths, and then they fire the ones who go soft, while promoting the most aggressive assholes, keeping a few smooth-talking client-relationship types on hand to preserve some semblance of a respectable public face.
With all these predictions coming true, perhaps the man behind the curtain pulling the levers is… Max!!!
Is it just me or is it just a coincidence that all the Toyota Priuses that have the acceleration pedal problem have the OBAMA ’08 stickers on them? Looks like cars can’t even stand Obama supporters!
