20 % is bad, real bad. I would get my money out of there ASAP. US banks were hitting troubled asset ratios between 10 and 25 percent in 2008/09 and would have failed absent massive TARP infusion, Fed stepping in rerating and buying troubled assets.

Fast and Furious put how many guns on the street compared to many guns cartels purchase illegal from US each and every month.

The problem in Mexico is if you give weapons to government forces to fight cartels they just end up in hands of cartel. Lines are blurred and most police and federal officers are aligned with one of the many cartels in some form or fashion.

The cartels also have MANPADs, RPGs, Barrett 50s. 5.7s, 50 cal mounted machine guns and whatever they want.

70,000 US weapons confiscated in Mexico in five years. The 2,000 fast and furious weapons have zero impact down there and just something else to politicize by people who really do not even care about the plight of theMexucan people or else they would focus on something that mattered.

It still amazes me the dollar is even at this level when the US is so broke and yet their spending continues. With GDP about 1/3rd of its debt, it has no way to repay and by continuing to print money to pay debt, means the world at large must be stupid to keep accepting it as the reserve currency. The continuing 'appreciation' of the currencies such as Baht, Won and Peso is simply the USD is getting weaker, nothing to do with their strength of local currencies. IMO USD should be around 22 Baht not 30.

Printing money, QEs, is much more complicated than paying debt. More about shoring up world banking reserves and backlashes from CMO. QE money has actually landed in the holes that needed filing, much like water seeking the lowest point. Research how much of QE3 has ended up in foreign markets where the banking weaknesses remain. Hate to break it to you, Feds actions is actually keeping world banking afloat more than US at this point in the recovery process. Fed and US could gave just shored up US banking and let European and world banking fend for itself, but it didn't. Rather than read whack a doodle internet sites that comain about anything US, take an objective look at it. Gratitude toward US not being so selfish might be more warranted.

And no, . . . US is not even remotely close to defaulting and will never default on it's obligations. If it gets to that point, all other world finial systems including Thailand will have already failed.

No offense, but statements like yours are just parroting ridiculous political rhetoric that has very litlle to rivalry reality. The truth is, our currency keeps the world currency in check.

Do you realize, we could destabilize China in a matter if 30 days which would take Thailand and all SE Asia finacial with it. China's currency is way more manipulated that US and US keeps it from the Yuan from appreciating and imploding China's entire economy.

We hold so much Chinese currency to keep the Yuan from appreciating, we could stop their entire economy in 30 to 60 days. Default, keep their money and we have 5 trillion and they have hyper inflation and an absolute inability to sell their cheap crappy products at rock bottom low price. What do you think that would do to the Baht?

The US currency is actually the only stable currency.

Sadly you appear to be believe the media about the security of the US 'reserves'. This is not any personal dig against you - it is simply fact. China actually swapped a lot of US debt instruments recently (3 Trillion) for US gold. Now that was really smart because as the US was unable to service its debts, so by swapping US gold China actually made substantial gains (already) as well as removing paper that was worthless. Yes US could trade out but at present that is unlikely. US and China are unwilling bedfellows at present because Trade Goods are essential to the US economy or your pricing for domestic goods would skyrocket. Similarly if US defaults on more payments, China will have to accept the US delinquency because they have allowed US to run up the credit scores without any hope of settlement. So right now believe what you will but China is in surplus and US is in substantial debt (around USD60 trillion if you research it) - that kinda puts it all in perspective. Best wishes for your future.

World pressure, G20, US pressure and China's need to curb its own inflation has dictated China's reduction in the purchase of US treasuries, not credit rating issues.

In fact, Japan other countries' purchases of US Treasuries more than made up difference due to Euro worries. US still paying . . .

I was addressing the effects and purpose of QE. Most of this is actually ending up on foreign bank reserve balance sheets and was meant to assist in paying off bad CMO bonds. China was a huge holder of CMOs. US made good on those bonds even though in a free market, China should have just lost their money on these risky investments. US tax payers incurred the financial burden through guarantees by ginnie, freddie and fannie and then by using tax payer dollars to bail those out.

I am hearing from my investment banker wife that some $207 billion of QE3 have made it to foreign bank balance sheets in just a few weeks in January. This is the second highest surge of foreign balance sheets since the AIG bailout.

The Fed is quietly keeping the world banking system liquid and reserves in line.

It still amazes me the dollar is even at this level when the US is so broke and yet their spending continues.

Best wishes on my future? That's bizarre.

I will confess the wife is the expert here as she is an investment banker. I am a securities lawyer with a Series 7 and 66 though and hear much rumblings about such matters from my clients as well.

I have heard the Gold play us nit really logical for Bank of China and China could pretty much mine as much gold as they want, but material like palladium that have huge demand might yield returns needed.

The Peoples Bank of China, the central bank, has been hinting that it is purchasing. No asset is safe now, said the PBOCs Zhang Jianhua at the end of last month. The only choice to hedge risks is to hold hard currencygold. He also said it was smart strategy to buy on market dips. Analysts naturally jumped on his comment as proof that China, the worlds fifth-largest holder of the metal, is in the market for more.

There are a few problems with this conclusion. First, the Chinese government rarely benefits othersand hurts itselfby telegraphing its short-term investment strategies.

Second, the central bank has less purchasing power these days. Chinas foreign reserves declined in Q4 2011, falling $20.6 billion from Q3. The first quarterly outflow since 1998 was not large, but the trend was troubling. The reserves declined a stunning $92.7 billion in November and December.

Third, the purchase of gold would be especially risky for the central bank, which is already insolvent from a balance sheet point of view. The PBOC needs income-producing assets in order to meet its obligations on the debt incurred to buy foreign exchange, so the holding of gold only complicates its funding operations. This is not to say the bank never buys goldit obviously doesbut there are real constraints on its ability to purchase assets that do not provide current income.

And there I was thinking China could do the same to the US, they are holding quite a bit of US Debt are they not?

Not really. This is an over simplification, but the value of the Yuan is set internally by State counsel and not subject to float. The Yuan is very difficult to convert to other currencies and visa versa. Making the Yuan subject to float would result in a true valuation of the Yuan and kill China's exports.

Would you rather hold paper with no value or several trillion dollars? I would rather hold the money. If US defaulted, they would gave several trillion and China would have no outside source to keep their currency stable. US value is already set by float and the cash held is already factored in the value of the dollar by world markets.

Nah, they would just want to move North.

We had one of those cases on mandatory state supreme court review of death penalty when I clerked for supreme court back in mid 90s. Guy threw gasoline on girl sitting in car and lit it.

The pictures were aweful. She had large incisions in thighs and other parts of the body to relieve pressure and was just laying on table opened up and burned over entire body. She lived for some period of time before subcoming to injuries.

I have crime scene photos involving last sitting in chair with flowered dress and head split and lying on each shoulder from 30.06 close range, people with limbs blown off or hanging from high powered rifles, but that poor women and maybe an elderly lady that got mauled by two pit bulls was perhaps the worse.

I somehow think this is getting whitewashed. If accidental, this is one of the biggest bone head moves ever. He apparently moved body from bathroom so difficult say what she was doing at the time she was shot. Always going to hear more of defense theory than prosecution through media. I am inclined to believe dude suffered a bit of insecurity due to his issues and with such a hot babe. Guns are a really permanent solution to many temporary problems.

I heard judge a but this morning and his grand standing. Never a good sign when judges' get into this mode in high profile cases. Had to leave before bail announcement though.

I saw an article about his mother. She seemed like a really good lady that made a lot of sacrifices for her son. Four bullets to the head was her reward. At least she was asleep and did not know that what she would have died for did that to her.

^^Very out of character that you are discussing your fabulous wealth...you are usually so modest discreet and humble.

Says more about you than I if you read my wealth into the above.

I am brash, egotistical, hard headed and stubborn. I make no excuses for myself and I have accomplished what I have accomplished because if the way I am. Not my problem if it bothers you.

I, however, will be the first to stop and help you change a tire or lend hand if you need help. I would do that even for submaniac.

As if the Harvard/Ivy League guys have done such a wonderful job these past few years.

I generally agree that politicians are compromised. We still have to place ourf faith and belief in something and view things objectively.

I just don't see the bad in the US. I got hit as hard as anyone due to my hobby, flipping and developing real estate in Northwest Florida Panhandle and me being knee deep in securities heavily weighted to CMOS, CDOs and junk bonds.

Things are good now. Market up. Business is booming at my firm. Corporate P/E ratios strong. Housing values coming back and rather strong in my primary residence city. Interest rates down. Tourism is strong and rentals hitting all time peaks now in NW Florida panhandle since BP oil spill. Florida mortgage market still a mess though from robo signing foreclosures getting dismissed and having to be refiled.

I hear very little complaining on the street from small business owners, restruant owners and etc. They are building new convention center and several large new hotels here. Just remodeled my building (six month project). New assoictaes at my firm have been buying and shopping for houses saying good deals, short sales and foreclosures are hard to find.

One of my areasis in securities. I handled a lot of the securities class action and ERISA litigation stemming from market implosion in 2008.

Our economy got killed due to mortage and lending practices emanating from ability to securitize, bundle and resell bad and risky paper, AIG credit swaps and the lovely guarantees by Fannie, Freddie and Ginnie. That destablized our entire banking system and, in fact, banks were insolvent. We almost lost out largest banks across the board and that would have taken the entire world economy down.

Rather than pointing fingers and complaining, people should be dam_n greatful we are at where we are at today. Could have been so much worse. The CMO stuff is almost resolved with the last round of QE. That is really a miracle considering no one even knew how deep the hole (in trillions) was in 2008.

Those Ivy league idiots, as you put it, pulled off the impossible. If they can do that with the financial system, I think they can handle somehting as mundane and simple as gun control.

It's going round in circles with the gun crowd repeating the tired old mantras of the amendment, cars kill people, axes kill people, etc., and showing complete intransigence when it comes to taking steps to reduce the senseless deaths.

As I've said before, it's as if the gun lobby consider the odd mass murder an acceptable price to pay so they can have their phallus substitutes.

...and the anti-gun nuts are offering new reasons for solving the problem besides banning guns?

Get medical care for mentally disturbed young people and much of this would stop. Madmen have been creating these shootings with inanimate objects yet it is still the gun's fault?

What are your solutions for getting the mental health issue addressed? Given that any thought or is it all about guns?

What about the violent video games this kid grew up addicted to? Any opinions on that or is that something that doesn't compute either?

There is much more to this than the availability of guns and if you don't realize that, then you are sadly adrift in a sea of ignorance.

If you'd bother to read my posts on this subject I have never said that gun control on its own will have the desired effect. And you obviously did not read the Whitehouse recommendations that cover "much more than the availability of guns", so please look in the mirror before you start throwing around charges of ignorance.

The Whitehouse position has been clearly stated: "No single law – or even set of laws – can prevent every act of violence in our country. But the fact that this problem is complex can not be an excuse for inaction."

They have proposed a number of measures that can hardly be called unreasonable:

• Require background checks for all gun sales.
  
• Strengthen the background check system for gun sales.
  
• Pass a new, stronger ban on assault weapons.
  
• Limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds.
  
• Finish the job of getting armor-piercing bullets off the streets.
  
• Give law enforcement additional tools to prevent and prosecute gun crime.
  
• End the freeze on gun violence research.
  
• Make our schools safer with new resource officers and counselors, better emergency response plans, and more nurturing school climates.
  
• Ensure quality coverage of mental health treatment, particularly for young people.
  

Now tell me what is so unreasonable about this list that you wouldn't even consider it as a starting point?

The first problem is those guys are idiots and just playing politics, and none of those things have much to do with the murderers that are actually pulling the trigger. But, it's easy enough to BS people who don't know what they are talking about.

By the way, have you ever bought or old a firearm in the U.S.? Or fired a weapon in the U.S.? For that matter, have you ever even been in the U.S.?

What guys are idiots, the guys in the white house? Have you even seen the guys hanging out a Knob Creek machine gun rally or at a Montana Freemen gun rally. I woud take the intellectual prowess of those Ivy league so called "idiots" over that of the Knob Creek boys any day.

I use haha, because these is a lot of levity in these threads and I need levity sometimes in my days. I thank you for that, but hahahahahaha as the thought of relaying upon Knob Creek boys, Monatana Freemen and NRA rally members running this country. School two days a week, no IRS, save on dental coverage because teeth optional and Nascar every day. God bless America.

Exactly! Though you can extrapolate the crime figures from city to state and you will still get the same result. Bear in mind that some cities/towns have enacted more onerous restrictions on the possession of firearms than would apply in other areas of the state. New York State is a good example of this.

But please explain why cities like Chicago, Washington D.C, Boston, Philadelphia have very strict laws on the possession of firearms and also have very high crime rates?

Could it be that criminals do not take any notice of laws, either regarding firearm possession, or any other laws?

Could it be that, in Florida or Arizona for instance, a high proportion of the citizenry are likely to be legally carrying a firearm, thus a high deterrence factor?

And Miami and Phoenix and Dallas and Orlando and Atlanta.

Memphis, Tennessee where every one has guns, good or bad). I know that city too well and thank the lord I don't live there.

I don't think you understand that most of the gang violence in cities you mention is not directed toward unarmed innocent surnurbanites. These guys shoot each other regardless as to whether other is armed. Having a gun might just get you shot quicker if your perceived as a possible threat. Dudes on crack also don't care if someone is armed. Where most of these violent crimes occur almost everyone is armed. If they want you dead there is not much you can do about it.

This entire thread is a massive circle jerk. It's going around in circles with the anti-gun crowd making arguments which are based on a whole lot of people talking out of their butt without knowing what they're talking about.

If you consider that the number of people having legally held firearms is a problem, can you please explain, in simple terms, why the states and city with the most restrictive firearms laws, i.e. Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Philidelphia, have the highest rates of armed crime?

States with fairly liberal laws, and high rates of firearm ownership, e.g. Arizona, Florida, Montana, Alaska, have very low rates of homicides and burglaries.

Do you not think that there just might be a connection with a high level of legal firearm ownership and a low crime rate?

Perhaps there might be a link between the demographic make-up of cities with high crime rates and those with lower rates?

Legally-owned guns are not a problem, criminals are the problem!

Might have more to do with racial demographics, gang activity and drugs than gun laws. Funny how you pick whole states and compare to cities with a high incidences of the above factors I cite.

For instance you cite Florida is being an example of how "liberal" gun controls work, yet Miami and Orlando are two of the most dangerous cities in the country.

I also believe Phoenix may be up there at or just past LA in murder rate per 100,000. Have to look up current data. California may also be below both Florida and Arizona on murder rate.

I thought I read that New York City murder rate dropped fell to 4 or less per 100,000 in 2012. Compare that to Phoenix, Miami, Orlando and etc. Seems like when I was in Phoenix recently news said rate was around 15 per 100,000 and they were becoming LA or worse than LA.

Haha, I really get a chuckle out of throwing Montana and Alaska on the list and comparing those states to largest US cities. That's wilderness country and not really representative of US in general.

I am afraid it is not as simple as you try to make it out to be.

His latest account does not pass the smell test.

What a bum!

Ballistic angle should be pretty easy to show whether he had his prosthetic legs. He is one dumb dude if he is lying about that detail as it will devastate whatever credibility he may have had. I doubt dude would have been chasing her around the house on his stumps . . . so that could feasibly support his story if true.

The defence is that he heard a noise in the bathroom, it was pitch black, he called out, got a gun, he didn't have his leg extensions on, felt vulnerable, thought it was a n intruder so fired the shots through the bathroom door even though his girlfriend was somewhere in the house.

And all his relatives are bawling their eyes out.

- BBC News

I think a "that ho was cheatin on me" defense would be a better route than that bs.

Sinking or waters rising?

Some people will never understand that the more they try to impress....the less it does impress.

Ah, don't be such a sour pus. Big victory today and a lot of hard work went into it. Gums stuff about family not me. Have you ever anything nice to say. Be happy.

I know how a suppressor works as well as subsonic rounds. No rational human being needs Kevlar helmets, body armor or 10 silencers. Dorner obviously wasn't a rationale human being so no need to rationalize or defend his mental disconnect and purchasing patterns.

I have this feeling that you know how a suppressor works as well as subsonic rounds after I posted and you looked it up in wikipedia. My opinion is based upon the previous comment you made about how normal police officers don't have AR-15 rifles save for those that sit at home drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and polishing their guns. Then I pointed out that every California Highway Patrol car is equipped with an AR-15 and shotgun, and showed you pictures of how every police officer pictured in the Dorner search was carrying an AR-15.

"People like you who watch a lot of movies"? That's a bit patronising isn't it?

I've shot plenty of firearms in my youth, including with the Royal Marines, and I understand what they can do and how they sound, thank you.

I believe the point is why civilians would need this equipment, not exactly how you spell it or how it works.

Why would a civilian need this equipment? Well, let's say you have a large parcel of land where you could practice shooting. Would be nice so you don't have to wear earplugs when you shoot. Would be nice for the neighbors so you don't irritate them/scare them with loud explosions. Definately would be useful for hunting not irritate people who live near where you're hunting or scare of the critters you're trying to kill. Those are legitimate purposes. In many countries you can purchase a silencer without regulation. Some countries require to use a silencer when hunting so as not to disturb people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressor#Europe

I asked to find one documented instance where a suppressor was used in the commissioning of a crime. The best you could do was that DC sniper had a book on how to make a silencer and MAYBE he was going to use one. This is reality, anyone can have instructions on how to build a silencer by looking on google. The plans are very public knowledge and easy to find. Making a silencer is actually very easy too. The fact is that the DC sniper was never confirmed to have used a suppressor. A suppressor would not have helped him much. He was using a bushmaster AR-15; the bullet is comming out of that barrel at twice the speed of sound, and no suppressor can overcome physics and the supersonic crack.

IT'S NOT LIKE THE MOVIES. A SUPRESSOR IS STILL NOISY.

So here we have legitimate purposes for use, and no correlation with crime...and you want to ban them. That summarizes the entire problem with the anti-gun movement. What you want to ban has nothing to do with crime, but everyone wants to get rid of them because they don't know anything about them.

This entire thread is a massive circle jerk. It's going around in circles with the anti-gun crowd making arguments which are based on a whole lot of people talking out of their butt without knowing what they're talking about.

Wow. You right, but I already admitted I wrong about whether LAPD have AR-15s in every single squad car. Actually, I was talking about city my brother was a cop in . . . Any way, there are lots of things I don't know about, but I can tell you all about blowing up a 23b3 class in a derivative action by filing a dec action on behalf of MY company!!!! against all shareholders, including my officers accused of looting, in front of my favorite small town Chancellor during sec 220 and later file Motion to Abstain and Dismiss under Colorado River Water Conservative District arguing derivative class claims in Fed Court are parallell to my first filed Dec action in state court. Whodda thunk of that one. I did and we settled about an hour ago for less than 30 cents on the dollar . . . After Fed Court abstained last week. Doubt Cir Ct would have affirmed under Perez v. Ladesma my use of a dec action to thwart forum selection of class counsel.

Guns , wah wah wah. Starting sound like Charlie Brown's teacher. I bet I can name more rounds below 1350 fps than you and I am probably a buyer shot than you.

My family had insane gun collections including those consecutive serial 1 & 2s in fancy boxes together for a whole bunch of Colt 45 manufacture years. Dad used to build those black powder kits you could from Sears in late 70s and I hunted deer with 45 or 50 cap and ball or bow as more of a challenge. I had everything from 22 to 30.06 and an 8mm rifle for deer at one point which was not worth a dam_n for deer.

Grandfather had, now uncle has, some of short barrels you screw into the end of a Colt 45. I think they were called something like Ginty barrell and supposed to be very rare. He had a couple of sets of thise. Uncle has sharps and a bunch of old black powder, but my favs are Winchester lever action and this unusual 32 cal I think black powder that looks Mexican. I cannot remember name but I used to hunt squirrel and rabbit with it. Reminds me also that grandfather had a 22 auto pistol we used to hunt rabbit. That was pretty cool.

Don't assume just because I think gun laws should be stricter I am anti gun. I am just against morons and whack jobs having them and dint thunk assault weapons are necessary.

I know how a suppressor works as well as subsonic rounds. No rational human being needs Kevlar helmets, body armor or 10 silencers. Dorner obviously wasn't a rationale human being so no need to rationalize or defend his mental disconnect and purchasing patterns.

...including an imposing Remington Model 700 rifle about the length of a human leg with the word "vengeance" inscribed above the butt.....

Seems a bit OTT for a sacked copper. Or even one that kept his job.

Ah yes, the "evil Remington 700". Not like it is the best selling bolt action hunting rifles of all time or anything. http://www.chuckhawks.com/rem_700.htm

("bolt action" means you have to manually pull the bolt back every time you want to load a round.)

Length the size of human leg? Yes, it's got that easily concealable 26" barrel that is can be easily hidden on a person, and because it's so small it's easily fitable in a gun safe too and anyone who doesn't have a gun safe big enough to store one of those is an irresponsible gun owner.

here's a picture of his actual rifle:

FYI, the Remington 700 is pretty much the standard bolt action hunting and target rifle due to it's accuracy. It is used by many police departments as a sniper rifle, and is the U.S. Army's sniper rifle (M24) and the U.S. Marine Corps. Sniper Rifle (M40).

If you're complaining about the Remington 700 I guess you two won't be happy unless all guns are outlawed.

Don't assume. No complaints. I just cut and pasted that from an article. The body armor and silencers were more disconcerting. Dorner is poster boy for NRA with his fancy hunting rifle. Need that bullet proof hat in case deer shoot back.

Authorities displayed several of the weapons Dorner carried as he fled police, including an imposing Remington Model 700 rifle about the length of a human leg with the word "vengeance" inscribed above the butt. Dorner had numerous assault weapons and semi-automatic handguns, as well as 10 silencers, a military-style Kevlar helmet and a tactical vest with high-capacity rifle magazines and teargas canisters attached to it, said San Bernardino sheriff's sergeant Trevis Newport. Police are investigating how Dorner obtained the weapons.

Whoa, crushed her skull. <deleted> pschyo. Shooting bad enough, but he beat her, he crush her skull and then he shoot her . . . That took a little more time for reflection. Maniac.

my daughter is 6.

Jim you may be right. What hope has humanity anymore?

look, i have a 6 year old daughter and the story sickens me beyond belief, but not enough to make rightously melodramatic and self-serving remarks remarks about the end of humanity.

The old bad apple ruins the cart or however it goes.

For every <deleted> out there like this...there are a lot of good also, you just rarely hear the good as it does not sell newspapers or get hits on websites.

Still....examples need to be made of these types....unfortunately I doubt no matter what the example, it will not stop the 'instant' urge or decision that is made by this type of person to do what they do....I would not be imagining them sitting there thinking...hmmm, should I grab her or not, I remember last year the guy that had his penis chopped off by an angry mob.....but restricting their ability to breed would be a good start.

Chopping off their heads would be a better solution......their sickness doesn't start in their penis,it starts in their mind.

Unfortunately, it does seem a lot of the problem may emanate from a societal view that women maintain a less than human status in India. They are simply treated as garbage and discarded or dumped into the street. Massive failure some where.
