General Motors Becomes Government Motors: Only the Beginning / Companies / US Auto's
By: LewRockwell
William L. Anderson writes: The news that Chrysler is going to file for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a small dose of reality in a cycle of Alice-in-Wonderland reports that have been filtering from Washington over the "restructuring" of the American automobile industry. Unfortunately, even a real-live bankruptcy is going to be so politicized that the outcome will be pretty much what the Obama administration has been demanding all along: a government-union partnership of domestic automobile companies.

McDonald's: From Stock Market Leader To Market Laggard / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: Guy_Lerner
Let's flashback to January and February, 2009 when the market was in a swoon and McDonald's Corporation (symbol: MCD) was the market leader. The CEO was on CNBC, and Jim Cramer was doing his (usual) "buy, buy, buy" thing. For the cheerleaders at CNBC, McDonald's was that go to stock - the beacon of light in a sea of ugliness.

Liquidate General Motors / Companies / US Auto's
By: LewRockwell
General Motors and the U.S. government have several characteristics in common. Both are unwieldy behemoths which have become debt-laden, wealth-destruction machines. Their workers are overpaid and under-productive (for Federal employees, counterproductive is a more apt description). Foolish creditors have kept these monstrosities afloat and will eventually end up regretting ever having lent these debt addicts a dime. Yet, each one is a public-relations machine preaching to the citizenry that it is indispensable.

Capitalizing on Swine Flu, Winners as well as Losers / Companies / Global Pandemic
By: Global_Research
As the world gears up once again for a flu pandemic that may or may not arrive (it actually seems possible this time), we might want to remember some of the lessons of the last flu scare. One of these is that there are winners as well as losers in every high-profile outbreak of infectious disease. First and foremost among them, of course, is Big Pharma, which can always be counted on to have its hand out wherever human misery presents an opportunity to rake in some cash.

Bank of America’s Ken Lewis: Another Scapegoat / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Mike_Stathis
The news of Andrew Cuomo's letter to Congress revealing that former Treasury Secretary Paulson threatened to fire Bank of America's CEO Ken Lewis and oust the board if they tried to block the Merrill Lynch deal is not at all shocking to me. Nor is it a surprise that Bernanke “requested” this from Paulson. If you’ve been reading my articles, you know that the Treasury Department is the subordinate of the Federal Reserve.

Bank Sector Positive Earnings Reports- It’s Time to Face the Facts, Part 1 / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Mike_Stathis
For anyone who believes any positive earnings reports from the banks, you probably also believe there will be a real recovery in the economy. These “earnings” are even less credible than those reported by the banks during the height of their Ponzi scheme in 2007. Earnings? From the banks? It’s laughable. Let me now state what I consider to be facts related to the bigger picture of this economic fiasco.
