This rhetoric has long grown worn Two questions: 1) How do GS and the other "banks" go from crisis to record profits in one quarter when they supposedly aren't do any lending, which is what a bank does to make money? 2) Where were the govt sharpshooters when these WS pirates were holding us hostage bent over the bow?

"About 40 REITs have already cut their dividends in the past six months, notes Tom Bohjalian, senior vice president and portfolio manager at Cohen & Steers Inc. Some have suspended their dividends, while others have either trimmed them or opted to pay a portion of them in stock. He says investors looking at REITs with yields north of 15% need to "do a deep dive into the balance sheet" to assess if a company will need to trim or scrap its dividend to meet debt obligations. Indeed, industry analysts say debt is the biggest threat facing REITs and their dividends in today's seized-up credit markets, and it must be carefully considered before buying a stock." brepa.blogspot.com

"This is a sick fcuking joke!<NG>" Reward the wall street losers and banker losers....oh yeah....that will fix everything. What does this mean? All in the same breath pretty much: From: We must lay a new foundation for growth and prosperity a foundation that will move us from an era of borrow and spend to one where we save and invest, where we consume less at home and send more exports abroad." To: "The truth is that a dollar of capital in a bank can actually result in eight or ten dollars of loans to families and businesses, a multiplier effect that can ultimately lead to a faster pace of economic growth," Obama said. Which is it? Spend or save? It's contradictory. In pretty much the same breath....we need to stop borrowing and spending and save....and we also need to lend more money for spending....so we give the bailout money to the loser banks to lend out. Is it true, they could have taken all of the bailout money given to wall street losers and banker losers and paid off everyone's mortgage in the U.S.? Or....could have given every working person in the U.S. a 16k rebate check, instead of giving it to the wall street losers and banker losers? WTF does all of this mumbo-jumbo mean? finance.yahoo.com
