Truth in Equity
News Report -
Colossal Financial Collapse: The Truth behind the Citigroup Bank "Nationalization"
[Center for Research on Globalization]
However, if we compare the value of the equity share that $125 billion bought with the market price of those banks’ stock, US taxpayers have paid $125 billion for bank stock that a private investor could have bought for $62.5 billion, according to a detailed analysis from Ron W. Bloom, economist with the US United Steelworkers union, whose members as well as pension fund face devastating losses were GM to fail.
GM: Bankruptcy Is No Longer An Option
[Seeking Alpha]
He made an excellent analogy about the amount of equity in a home in contrasting Citigroup (C) to Apple (AAPL). I agree with Felix that many investors and certainly most non-investors don't understand fully that the value of a company consists of both its stock as well as its debt obligations.
Reflation Is the Only Option
[Seeking Alpha]
Then jump on board the equity market rocket. There will be another lift-off, and there are many stocks – I have listed over 100 – that will be passengers on what will be seen as another moon-shot. One of these events will result in the new Bull market being as obvious to you all as it is to me today.

[Conde Nast Portfolio]
On the other hand, what if it's not Goldman at all, but rather the investor who is buying the CDS? That, I think, would make much more sense. Shitting alpha, I think, is closer to the truth here, but his post is quite cryptic, so let me try to expand it a little.

All of us would have given an arm for a 10-1 start before the season started, so when the trolls like BBS try to come here this week and start crap, just use your best southern charm to remind them that the Titans still own the best record in the AFC at 10-1. We have maintained a high standard on this site of intelligent conversation without a lot of flame wars.[Music City Miracles]
Misfortunes have made Titans' Collins stronger
Maybe someday he'll get to enjoy it. In the meantime, there's another game to be played: Jets-Titans today in Tennessee. [Newsday]
Why Titan-ic battle won't go Jets' way
The Jets match up pretty well against the undefeated Titans, so I think there’s very little chance of them bombing as much as, say, Jane McManus’ choice of Indian food for the press corps on “Catered Thursday.” (Rookie mistake by the Journal News beat writer, I suppose.) On the other hand, I don’t think the Jets will have enough to beat the Titans.[New York Daily News]
Favre, Jets hand Titans first loss of season
Favre threw two touchdown passes, Leon Washington ran for two scores and the New York Jets served notice they will be a factor in the AFC this season by routing the Titans 34-13, ending the perfect start by the NFL's last undefeated team.[USA Today]

All it takes is one shoe box: Operation Christmas Child under way. Sometimes it doesn’t take more than a shoe box filled with small gifts to bring a world of joy to a child.[ReporterHerald.com]

Ohio State Michigan Game
News Report - Ohio State Michigan Game Time Football 2008
Perhaps the most famous one of all is the Ohio State-Michigan game. Since Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler made the Ohio State-Michigan battles legendary, it is annually the game of the year for both the Buckeyes and Wolverines.[Associated Content]
Michigan (plus-20.5) at Ohio State — Carr calls Rodriguez with pregame advice on beating the Buckeyes. Rodriguez instantly hangs up, believing it’s a prank call. Jim Tressel opts for mercy against the Wolverines in the second half when he insists that Terrelle Pryor run backward. But he still gains 10 yards an attempt. Pick — Michigan.[Detroit Free Press]
For Brown, the standout memory came at halftime of the Michigan State game on Oct. 14. The Wolverines trailed, 30-0, at the break, and once in the locker room, Elliott stormed over to Brown, who hadn't even taken his helmet off.[Detroit Free Press]
Coming into 2008, the Vols, Ohio State and Michigan were the only three teams in FBS football history to not record eight loss seasons. Michigan's loss last Saturday to Northwestern gave the Wolverines its eighth loss.[Tennessee Journalist]

Mel Gibson Divorce
News Report - Mel Gibson Divorce
Mel Gibson has slammed reports he's divorcing his wife of 28 years after he was alleged to be cheating on her.[San Francisco Chronicle]
According to the Daily Express recent reports suggested the actor was entangled in a €708m divorce battle with wife Robyn Moore amid allegations of infidelity.[RTE.ie]
Now the National Enquirer alleges that Gibson's wife, Robyn, has grown suspicious. "It may turn out that Mel's friendship with the woman is innocent, but Robyn warned him that if he embarrassed her one more time, their marriage is dead and buried," a source tells the tab, which says that, without a prenup, Mel's $900 million fortune could be in play. Gibson's rep tells us the divorce rumors "are 100% untrue."[New York Daily News]
The denial comes on the heels of a National Enquirer story speculating on the actor's relationship with a 28-year-old Russian singer who's been hired to write the music for his latest film, Edge of Darkness.[Dose.ca]

Greek Peak Mountain Resort near Cortland will open for skiing and snowboarding at 10 a.m. Saturday.[Elmira Star-Gazette]

The project comes with a $42 million price tag -- but there's one major component resort president Al Kryger says will make everything worth it: An indoor water park, which Kryger says should be under construction in another two to three weeks.[NewsChannel 9 WSYR]
That real-estate element, Hope Lake Lodge, is on track to turn Greek Peak into a year-round destination, starting next October.
Steel and concrete already outline the 23 million dollar, 110-unit condo-hotel.

Chrysler Building
News Report - Chrysler Building
"Chrysler made an early reputation for good, sound engineering," says Vance. Come again? That's right: Chrysler's cars were among the best in the world.
Chrysler, too, had a knack for extravagance, building the Chrysler Building, the tallest of its day. But unlike Durant, Chrysler never overextended his company.[Toronto Star]
According to the letter, automakers will have to explain their financial position, how they plan to spend the money and the assumptions behind their assurances that any loan will be paid back. General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC consumed nearly $18 billion in cash last quarter, and analysts have said GM and Chrysler could run short of cash by the end of the year.[Detroit Free Press]
The three CEOs rejected filing for Chapter 11, a form of bankruptcy that would let them restructure and rewrite contracts. Even though Delta Airlines did it and emerged able to buy rival Northwest, the automakers said that flying passengers is not the same as building cars. They argued they might never emerge from bankruptcy.[Seattle Post Intelligencer]

Madeline Pickens
News Report - Madeleine Pickens - T. Boone Pickens
Madeleine Pickens, the wife of oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens, has proposed to acquire 1 million western acres to establish a refuge for wild horses after the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) said it needs to euthanize several thousand wild horses that it can no longer afford to keep on the open range or in pens.[Feedstuffs]
About 33,000 wild horses and burros roam the open range in 10 Western states, half of those in Nevada. The BLM wants the population to be about 27,000, to protect the herd, the range and other foraging animals.[Los Angeles Times]
Paralleling her husband T. Boone Pickens’ alternative-energy plan of last summer, Madeleine Pickens’ intervention initially has met with wide praise from animal activists and environmentalists. The Pickens’ adoption plan would avoid euthanizing thousands of the horses, which some say have come to represent the wild spirit of the American West.[The Colorado Independent]
Above all, Madeleine Pickens, wife of oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens, is an animal lover. As a horse breeder and a philanthropist, she has always considered that people must be responsible for the care of animals.[ABC News]

Al Harrington
News Report of Al Haringtom Trade, Jamal Crawford, NBA Rumors, Hoopshype, Knicks Rumors
The Knicks appear to be close to landing athletic forward Al Harrington from the Golden State Warriors in a trade that possibly could send the team's leading scorer, Jamal Crawford, out to Oakland, Newsday has learned.[Newsday]
Sources: Knicks have deal with Golden State for forward Al Harrington
In what could be a lead-up to a bigger deal involving Zach Randolph and the opening of cap space for the summer of 2010, the Knicks are expected to make a deal later Friday with Golden State for forward Al Harrington.[New York Daily News]
I'd actually forgotten that Al Harrington was still a Warrior, seeing as Corey Maggette is currently starting at power forward there. It's getting pretty Colonel Kurtz up in the Oracle, if you hadn't heard. But apparently he's just hurt, and is set -- maybe even before you finish this sentence -- to finally be headed to the Knicks.

Art Hogan's bottom call and CNBC
The intra-day market bottom for the Dow was violated today, yet, at this time, there is no marked selloff from that level. Isn't that worthy of CNBC discussion?
Art Hogan, Chief Market Strategist at Jefferies & Company was on CNBC this morning, 11/20/08, and gave comments and stock market predictions.
Its a difficult day to come back on CNBC, we breached the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing lows, I guess the Dow Jones could be next....the biggest changes were GM and the big three automakers, use of the tarp changed, financials down 22% over the past week. It's going to be a difficult morning. The problem is structurally things have changed!

Model Karolina Kurkova world's sexiest woman: report
Reuters- Nov 20, 2008
Second place also went to a supermodel, Israeli Bar Rafaeli, who has been linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, while Jolie, who recently gave birth to twins, was in third place.
Man of the world: Leonardo DiCaprio
Independent, UK- Nov 16, 2008
Admittedly, DiCaprio had fun on the way to his present reincarnation, indulging in all-night poker parties, jet-setting and hanging out with supermodels. But today he's far more likely to be spotted cycling with girlfriend, Israeli model Bar Rafaeli, or campaigning. Not that the actor could be accused of jumping on the environmental bandwagon – the state of the planet has been a pet topic since he was a young boy with dreams of becoming a marine biologist.
Leonardo DiCaprio's daddy role

The 'Titanic' actor - who is dating Israeli model Bar Rafaeli - admits he is ready to prove his potential as a father.He said: "I see these guys, Tobey Maguire, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon with their families, and it reaffirms for me that I definitely want to have a kid someday." Leonardo, who was famed for his womanising ways, also revealed he is hoping to get married in the near future - if Bar lets him be her husband.
