Q:    Booyah on your defense of (Apple CEO) Steve Jobs. Let’s look at the score: Geithner presides over the NY Federal Reserve and nods off at the switch while the financial system implodes. Meantime Jobs spearheads the best tech product line in existence, and the SEC is investigating Jobs?   I’m moving to Australia!

Jim:    Hey, put one on the barbie for me pal, I totally agree with you.

Q:    A couple of nights ago you used the word entropy to describe the market. I am impressed by your range of knowledge, including physics. The market is indeed messy! High entropy!

Jim:    I put in a lot of SAT words because I am very worried about the youth of America… and see if they are going to get that scholarship to Harvard.

Q:    I completely lost it when I found out that despite all the doom and gloom that currently exists… Merrill Lynch (MER) paid out utterly ridiculous amounts of money last Friday to their brokers as “retention bonuses” so they wouldn’t leave the firm. Where the heck are they going to go in this market? I don’t know, Jim, but isn’t this outrageous and just plain wrong? Please shed light.

Jim:    Yeah, there is no jobs whatsoever… retention bonuses it is just a handout… look everything about this whole era of the bonus… sense the TARP money… is shameless… pre TARP money I am all about giving them the money… why… because that is where I got my start… didn’t have any money… went to the spud… made a lot of money on Wall Street… but if you are going ask for money from the government… you got to give in… and not take the money and line your pockets… shame… just a shame.

Q:    I have been watching for quite some time now, and would like to know what you would do if you were in a position to fix the housing mess. It seems that the government has just given the banks enough money to sell foreclosed homes at huge losses and not feel it on their balance sheets. Meanwhile, they are ruining the market values of the properties that the rest of us own. Do you think if they were forced to keep and manage the properties, or sell them for only a small percentage below comps, it would help to keep homeowners out of the red by not destroying home values?

Jim:    We got to get the existing pool down… that way all the… the rising tide will lift all homes… that is why we have to give each person who buys an existing home a huge tax credit… then we have to have some of these home builders go out of business… ultimately we have to forebear on the banks… don’t make them sell property until we see prices rising.
