High-Profile Hedger nypostonline.com << JAMES Cramer doesn't have any shame telling you that he's the same age as his daughters. So what if they're 3 and 6 years old? The stamina and childlike energy level of this zany, eccentric hedge-fund manager make the Energizer bunny look like it's suffering chronic fatigue syndrome. >>

<<Unbelievable and totally out of control. Whatever happened to common sense?>> As you imply John, this has become a paine-ful issue. Larry

I am fascinated by what is happening in Asia. Again it shows that bubble economies do not deflate... they pop. At the very least the deflationary pressures on US producers will reduce profits, and yet our bull market keeps on going. Can anyone tell me why the Japanese, who are losing market share to the Koreans, keep talking up the Yen. I understand that currency devaluation is not the way to prosper but they are in the ultimate liquiditiy crunch, or soon will be. Intersest rates could not be lower and yet credit is disappearing. The Japanese banks have lost their ass in US real estate, then in the Japanese real estate and stock market bubbles, now in their Asian investments. S. Korea is facing sovriegn bankrupcy. I love hearing the spinmeisters on CNBC put a positve face on this. thanks Ramsey

John, >>debt moratorium We now have a new word for bankruptcy. >>Unbelievable and totally out of control. Whatever happened to common sense? I agree, but have you ever seen anything close to political common sense. I wonder if these politicans are just postponing a world crash in global economics. Maybe they think they can control a slow decline. They will get a lot of help from wall street. None of these houses want at crash. It would kill their business for a long long time. Fortunately we have enough George Soros's and companies that will keep wall street honest. Just thinking out loud here. Joan
