An economic blog

               

I know very little about the derivative’s market…

       in the NYT a front page story indicates it is run by American banks whose           members meet on the third Wednesday of every month…

the customers are complaining they don’t know the price of these products…and now

they, the banks,  are proposing a clearing house to handle derivative transactions…

                                       for the betterment of society

i have read it is like insurance and reduces risk…

but unlike insurance companies they were not required to put up collateral,

                                 it was all imaginary money

and the basketball players got paid better

athletic salaries are indicative of the money being spent to keep you entertained

as the old line goes…

more money on miseducation    than schools

we can thank bill for taking down the wall between commercial and investment banks in 1999…

-they could now use deposits as leverage

which contributed to so much easy money…

       when they said the banking system was going to                                               collapse                                                               people would find out the banks spent their savings…

ie no deposits

 

An economic poem

no need to worry

         800 military bases

                   the empire can only decline

 

                    penny stocks

             up today

it is not raining

 

          i whisper 

   remember            

take time…

 

wow i write bad poetry

 

and if fame

is the new art form

assante is the best director,

actor

screenwriter going

            the world is abuzz

the implications 

“what people thought was true”

                             indignation

but tempers have not flared

a different freedom

                                  waiting
