Federal Reserve Allowing Bailed Out TARP Banks To Restrict Commercial Lending / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Bob_Chapman
The following information may be the most important we have ever published. One of our Intel sources, highly placed in banking circles, tells us that on 1/1/10 all banks that have received TARP funds have been informed by the Federal Reserve that they must further restrict any commercial lending.

Dubai Debt Default illustrates Financial Crisis Not Over / Interest-Rates / Credit Crisis 2009

Warren Buffett, Stop Using My Credit Card! / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Janet_Tavakoli
I like Warren Buffett. I even wrote a book about the financial crisis contrasting his principles of prudent finance with recent excessive leverage, bad lending, and malfeasance (Dear Mr. Buffett).

By: Matthias_Chang
Many of my friends who have been receiving my e-mail alerts over the last two years have lamented that in recent weeks I have not commented on the state of the global economy. I appreciate their anxiety but they forget that I am not a stock market analyst who is paid to write articles to lure investors back into the market.
