ParticipantWow. So $70T is low… That’s amazing. It’s been an interesting 2008, truly remarkable. Historic?
Best wishes for peace and prosperity in 2009. Throw in good health, family and friends, and just to go out on a limb here, Chargers in the Super Bowl?
Happy New Year!

“It seems to me what our nation needs is more civil engineers and electrical engineers and fewer financial engineers,” Volcker said.
And I agree with your suggestions about remediation but expect it’s water under the bridge at this point. Feds will do what they want to do. Measures will buffer the downturn for the banking sector, not much else.
Yes, credit risks and losses seem to spread far beyond the residential real estate and secondary mortgage markets. It’s pervasive.

Yeah, I did. Nice time with wife and kids. Not too much extended family. That seems to be one of the success factors… <ha,ha>
Yep, I agree. Lots of stuff out there that won’t pay long-term. I’m skeptical about massive road projects, for example. What’s the next generation of transportation going to look like? One thing for certain, it won’t be the gas-powered SUV.
There are some really winnable investments in the ‘green’ sector. Energy supply infrastructure and smart grid technology for example, advances in materials such as carbon nanotubes. We can vastly improve the way we store and distribute electricity.
Building construction is another area where I have some familiarity, and there are huge opportunities to improve our efficiency, reduce our footprint, reduce energy consumption, put people to work in service and manufacturing and invest in the next ‘wave’ of economic growth.
Just some thoughts. Hope this New Year surprises us all, BTW. I’m tired of being ‘concerned’ about the economy. I’d like to rake in some cash this next year and buy a vacation house in the San Juans…
Back to work!
