Like my daddy said, you bank with what you got.

ROA? Is this one of those triple-initials supposed to leave the uninitiated out of the debate?
Then, the unwashed must BEG you to snottily tell them what ROA means, right?
Nope. You go home and brush your teeth.

Beg pardon for multiple posts, but this website jams me and then posts the same stuff again and again.

The "average investor" isn't the mark anymore. The US taxpayer is. Free markets have a way of punishing fraudsters, AND their investors. It's only when the Bushbama Administration steps in to guarantee against further losses, that the rest of us get screwed.

Gobama! Keep buying!

RisR is going to need a new handle, he now blames both sides for the mess. How about"

I think it is the newest, most pretentious of political view points, it's "I'm so smart that I can even be right when I'm completely wrong." As in I tell you to sell, sell, sell when you should have bought, bought, bought but I'm still so smart cuz "I'm right even when I'm wrong."

"America's corporate elite are engaged in a massive shell game"

So if we used the Center for the Edge ideas about how we can increase ROA through "knowledge flows", as opposed to actual assets, then the shell game would disappear?

Diablo, the article explains "ROA" and "ROE" quite clearly. You can access it by clicking on the link.

If they didn't have the government's protection they could never get away with it. They make big donations to politicians and get favorable leglislation in return. We are so screwed.

Danni already said she doesn't invest, so her MM acct or cd's have raked in at least 2% so far this year!

And she was telling us to buy? LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE.

You were calling this a depression, and advocated the nationalization of ALL the tarp banks. The dr left, the definition of hypocrasy...

By the way what would the anti corporation capitalist hating hypocrite invest in??????????

Sooo she won't buy banks, insurance, drug, defense, utilities, or energy companies, nor any 'for profit' corporation.

Maybe she can buy shares in a law firm or the UAW???

I guess she invested in error america and pbs.

Evil damned corporations! The oil companies are my enemy. No employment should be offered except from the government, the only bastion of goodness since religions are all fables. I desire no children.
Now, back to my therapy group.

So upper echelon corporate entities have been borrowing madly for years in order to juice their ROE numbers and trigger their own personal stock option positions while their largely ignored ROA numbers have been tanking?

And this is a problem not just for already failing firms like GM but fer, far too many other American based companies.

A problem which if the problem is not solved will end end up screwing over their employees, their average shareholders and their entire customer base when they inevitably go bankrupt due to greed fueled corporate shenanigans?

That about it?

Really?

Damn. Spud was hoping he'd mis-read that.

Be Well.

The truth is still out there, even though it is not discussed in the mass media system.

Free markets have a way of punishing fraudsters,

McCain, Neil Bush and the rest of the S & L fraudsters will testify to that, RIR. Ken Lay, too.
And I'm sure Madhof would have been really severely punished had the nasty regulators and Feds got in the market's way.

We are not all equal. There is no such thing as a free market.
