ParticipantThere seems to be alot of this “delaying the pain” going on, I found this on BigPicture concerning derivatives.
“FASB: OK For USA to Turn Japanese

in Derivatives | Legal | ValuationJust when you think there is a glimmer of hope that some of these ne’er do well, lying, cheating, sniveling, cowardly bank CEOs might finally be forced to step up to the confessional and tell all, this comes along: FASB Postpones Off-Balance-Sheet Rule for a Year.”
“The longer they wait, the worse it ultimately will be. The long Japanese Recession (1989-2003) was caused by precisely this refusal to take the markdown, and engage in all manner of delays, excuses, procrastinations. Eee-diots — This only will make it worse!”

Japan pulled out all of the stops and their land prices fell for 14 years. I am not saying we are the same as Japan in 1989 but it appears we are taking many of the same steps they did.

ParticipantBigPicture tore this headline to shreads. It appears it was written by some hack at Barrons. Here are some of his other headlines
“1. AIG’s Selloff: A Huge Opportunity (FEBRUARY 18, 2008)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB120312653758273245.htmlExcerpt: Last week’s plunge was way overdone ($44.10). The stock could jump nearly 50%. (Yesterday’s close: $23.08)
~~~
2. MBIA: Priced for Catastrophe (JANUARY 21, 2008)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB120071150488302379.htmlExcerpt: MBIA’s shares were savaged anew last week, and now its stock looks cheap. It trades for about $8, well below a conservative liquidation value above $30 a share. (Yesterday’s close: $3.90)
~~~
3. Sears: A Storied Name on Sale? (OCTOBER 22, 2007)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB119283873785565563.htmlExcerpt: Money-management wunderkind Eddie Lampert is likely to succeed in turning around Sears. For investors, the big payoff lies in real estate. Sears Holdings sells for $134 a share, but could have a break-up vaule of more than $300. If Lampert turns around its retail operations, the shares could rally to 200 or more. (Yesterday’s close: $70.91)
~~~
4. Macy’s: Miracle on Private-Equity Street (JULY 23, 2007)
http://online.barrons.com/article/SB118497718683573586.htmlExcerpt: The shares, now about $42, could fetch more than 52 in a takeover. And there’s ample room for the current management to improve marketing and cut costs. (Yesterday’s close: $15.51)”
