and the band plays on

okay, regarding CDO'S--if you were getting paid a fee for the value of the CDO package would you want the price to be 100; 50 or 10???mmmmmmmm--and you do realize that the democratic and republican partys own the USA and will do whatever to keep or gain control--whatever--and do you realize that given the present group of presidential candidates of both parties, you in reality have zero choices as all represent the same things (gravel and paul excepted)--and make a list of important things that would be beneficial for all the people and then ask how long these things have been issues and how long they have remained unsolved--and then ask yourself if you know one single soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan; and do you know their monthly pay and benefits; and their length of combat tour??? these are little things that you can ponder as you wander through the mall---lopez hummms and taps his feet, both while tapping fingers---whattta hombre'

Motto Time once again as Mushrooms grow on wall street

so when we see a sign in the yard of a property and it says For Sale, we know that means we are seeking bidders...but in the stock and bond market, there is always a bid on anything worth a shit so when there is no bid or bid wanted (BW), well, this is very bad---and all the shit CDO paper that is being held by the boyz, is also valued at something out of their heads and of course because it is all shit, the value is way less but they seek to avoid disclosure just like the government with most all of their economic releases--and Merrill threatens to sell??HO HO HO Merrill--an idle threat as there are no buyers, particularly at any prices the street has put upon them---Now, do we do show and tell? i think not as the house of cards may fall and just like net worth, we all look better if our phony-make-believe assets are never marked to market..so once more, if you have been reading lopez for awhile, the motto of the USA strikes again: Don't ask, Don't tell....lopez holds his breath

damn chickens comin' home to roost?

well, the CDO game between Merrill and Bear Stearns is getting hot---see lopez, 6/01/07--in your face poker or is this the OK Corrall? maybe Bear S is the proverbial Canary in the mine??and of course when you throw 20-30 thousand troops into most cities, you gain some edge, so boy king thinks Surge be very cool and knows he is very smart---oh yes, 14 from usa killed in last couple of days--hey hey, all in the game, huh dubya??? and we need more? 3rd carrier group moving to Persian Gulf--now lopez wonders about the Sunburn Missiles that Iran got from Russia? do they work on Carriers? Idiots Prevailing-wowee--rub a dub dub--more into the tub?? lopez fascinated to be viewing, far and away, the dumbest group of leaders in the history of the world and they are honored to be led by easily, the worst leader of any time or any country---duhbya the magnificent--ah so too we be, my friends, Edmund Burke has labled us quite accurately: dumb is truly forever and we are certainly reaping what we have sown
