- Relief Plan Yields Only 10,000 Permanent Modifications ~ Only about 10,000 homeowners have received permanent loan modifications under the Obama administration's mortgage relief plan, evidence of continuing woes for the government's effort to stem the foreclosure crisis.
That means fewer than 2 percent of the 650,000 homeowners enrolled in the program as of October had their mortgage payments permanently lowered to more affordable levels. The results spotlight the limited success lenders are having in getting borrowers through the trial period, according to an oversight panel report released Wednesday.

Jamarats - Buffett, Goldman, Doll hype
JAMARAT ~~ >> Goldman, Buffutt, Bob Doll, etc hype These market hypers taking millions into living hell.
They have trillions to unload which they bought near the Nov-March low... Now, easy gains have made, but still hyping markets with sector rotation hype to unload trillions of stock inventory. http://www.cnbc.com/id/34206762/
Obviously, we still have 15 millions of Americans are facing potential foreclosures, and http://www.cnbc.com/id/34207654
1 out of 4 children is on foodstamp program.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/11/28/us/20091128-foodstamps.html
Where did they get billions and trillions?
By hyping markets luring in many.
Ethical to walk away. It is absolutely ethical, debtors should be allowed without penalty, to walk away in the given circumstances which we are in as the entire system was fraudulent with corruption and deception. It is absolutely ethical to walk away from underwater mortgage in the given circumstances which we are in as the entire financial markets and economic condition was fraudulent, corrupt, and deceptive. We are all aware of the unconscionable market manipulation and fraudulent market activities. Americans and many around the world were completely deceived into the fraudulent activities of various kinds such as financial market bubbles/crashes, Real Estate bubble/crash, and manipulation of unconscionable economic factors.
The entire financial and economic factors and condition was absolutely fraudulent, therefore, it is justifiable, rational, and ethical to walk away from the underwater mortgages.
Not only debtors should be able to walk away without penalty, they should be able to recoup the money which they have spent since the entire transactions were based on fraudulent and deceptive schemes. As those who initiated fraudulent activities should be refunding money (e.g. profit and bonuses), but also should be paying for punitive damages.
Should Homeowners Be Able To Walk Away From Mortgage?Should homeowners who are behind in their mortgage be allowed to just walk way from the payments? A University of Arizona law professor suggests that maybe they should.
Warren Buffett is in delusion and is globally manipulating financial markets defrauding billions around the world. He has done so over half-century and is still making misleading and deceiving many around the world driving the nation into poverty.

The Global Problem - Greed
The world is criminal filled with "Greed": As the Bible says, "Greed" is the root of all evil, and we are seeing the effects around the world - the End of the world. http://beautifulbible.blogspot.com/2009/10/god-vs-mammon.html
After literally stealing trillions from Americans, we are still hearing noise and decoy about the housing markets. While it is easy to manipulate financial markets, R.E. markets will take decade to reoccupy and to regain the level prior to the bubble crash.
- MBS Buyback Program Should be Extended: Fed's Bullard
A senior U.S. Federal Reserve official said its mortgage-related assets purchase program should be extended to help the economy recover from a painful recession.
Russia has now turned into a "criminal state", according to the man who was once its leading foreign investor.
Bill Browder of Hermitage Capital was reacting to the news that his lawyer had died in prison in Russia after being held for a year without charge. He told the BBC that his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, had effectively been "held hostage and they killed their hostage."
Through Hermitage Capital Bill Browder campaigned against corruption at some of Russia's largest companies. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8372894.stm
The problem which we are facing is not "size" of banks, for example, but THE REAL PROBLEM is GREED. When we control "greed", we will be heading to right path which will promote integrity, security, world peace, and other benefits of being fair and just.
Buffett noted "Greed will always exist" during the interview at Columbia University -- and as I noted before, he is a part of the world problem associated with Greed as we can see it in the world history. We need to control greed to fix long term problems around the world. To control "greed", we must see "effect regulation" as greed is a root of all evil, corruption, immorality, and all ill-wills around the world.

How to fix America and the world
http://trend-signals.blogspot.com/2009/11/who-is-paying-taxes.html
1. Take profit and pay tax based on emergency tax increase for high-income category -- e.g. 90% tax on goldman profit.
2. Reestablish strong regulations including reacting the Glass-Steagall in US as an example,
3. Recoup all high paid bonuses as they don't deserve it as the profit is gained by swindling the rest. It does not take much intellect to conspire and to wolf millions using massive collusion,
4. Back to the basics of developing basic needs and better educational system,
5. Promote "freedom of choice" of faith - Christianity, Muslim, Catholic, etc., and promote massive broadcast the freedom using global media educating the common of different faith. No faith is also a part of global education, however, enact a global bill on No-attack on any faith.
* After reviewing the details of the news, the tuition hike is necessary and a good decision. Most of countries in Asia, for example, have high tuition cost without state funds and also high competition to enter good universities like 20:1 ratio. The tuition hike is painful, but considering the CA state going bankrupt, it should have done years ago. Also, the higher tuition cost could prompt students to be serious about education.
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/11/20/california.tuition.protests/index.html
http://us.cnn.com/video/?/video/ireports/2009/11/20/irpt.nat.california.protests.cnn
* Our educational system has to be shaken up, actually. For example, cannabis was offered to me at schools, but I have never taken it. For example, a roomful of students smoking pots -- and even though I was there, I never took it.
Many of us are taking our system including educational system for granted, so feeling pain would be a catalyst to shake up and to get serious.

Financial Market Fooling Americans and all around the globe.
The financial markets have further indebted the United States while literally defrauding billions as we have seen the profit of Goldman, Buffett, all big funds showing that financial markets are used nothing but to swindle massive Americans as historical data is showing in various timeframe analysis - very long term, long term, short term. Short term market hype can mislead many sheeples, however, focusing on long term data can provide better understanding and reality. The colluded money profit is always coming out of massive sheeples who are listening to media hype leading to financial and spiritual disaster.

Financial Reform for WS corruption
* Geithner against restoring the Glass-Steagall act
- Big Banks Should be Broken Up, Not 'Coddled': Fed's Fisher
Banks that are considered too large to fail should be dismantled rather than "coddled," Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher said on Thursday.
Obviously, Geithner, as ex-Fed, he is loyal to the Fed, not Americans' interest as his job is to benefit the Fed as Greenspan who created the Tech and R.E. bubble/crash which wiped out millions of Americans and running up the nation's wealth. The current economic condition is NOT Geithner's or Obama's mismanagement. The lower tax on rich trigger down is nonsense as its purpose is to benefit rich who put away the gain taken from the rest.
* Stock prices: While financial market prices can be easily manipulated with colluded funds and momentum trades, sooner or later, someone has to buy shares in reality to lock in profit. We now have trillions of funds in the markets waiting to unload, and it is nonsensical and hazardous falling into market hype. Furthermore, hyping financial market prices is just adding to further economic disaster as the unjustified prices are taken advantage of fast and big market participants as it is a very fundamental nature of capitalism using financial markets. Effective way to control the market and economic stability is to educate Americans so that market participants are not falling into market hype taking imprudent risk. However, that is not the WS objectives and their profit is coming from MS.
* Unemployment: As noted before, real unemployment % is nearly 20% accumulated numbers from the 2000 downturn. The recovery since 2003 is artificial as the housing related employment was ST cycle. We now have one million will lost UM benefit after Dec 2009 which will create further pressure on Economy.

A tale of wolves in markets
We, those who recall market events, know who were supporting and buying markets, and know that we have trillions of big funds are parked their money in the markets including the Fed Bernanke purchasing trillions of assets.
At this juncture, all big money funds are in the markets and their expectation of unloading the funds to small retail buyers are unreasonable and impossible even though some, like Buffett, can hold the stocks for longer term. Based on the fact that trillions of funds are going to exit markets, it is absolutely insane and imprudent to fall into the market hype as we have seen the recent buying spree by J. Paulson. He was lucky with the R.E. melt down making billions, and now betting on market upside within 2 years, i.e. 2012. Using Treasury and market momentum, it is very easy to manipulate stock prices, however, there are not many left who can buy trillions of stocks off their hands. Big wolves in the markets will fight among themselves after goggling up millions of sheeples.

Unloading Trillions of stock inventories and funds
Goldman, the Fed ... Trillions to unload.
http://trend-signals.blogspot.com/2009/11/goldman-666.html
Where economy is headed? Unless you are blinded with greed or other alternative motive, the economic condition is straightforward even though financial markets are making repeated misleading hype and propaganda as we can see on the historical financial analysis and dramatically deteriorating conditions by the 1% greedy colluded money power. Only naive would not be able to see it.
- Where Are Stocks, Economy Headed? Even Pros Disagree: vote Poll
The Fed and millions of funds are all in the markets locked up multi-trillions hyping markets since March 2009, now, they are all looking for ways to unload the trillions using media hype as they have done for decades. How many would be falling into such hype around the globe to bite the detrimental baits. All of mega funds are hyping as we heard from Goldman, BlackRock, Paulson, Soros, Buffett, etc., with that they are betting on you to foolishly take the stocks off their stock pile. Or, spend until going bankrupt so that you can continue to make them filthy rich.
Capitalism, based on deception as in Matthew 4, is corrupt and destroyed millions of Americans and nations around the world. "Greed" is a root of all evil, and it indeed caused suffering, pain, and death around the world.

Commercial Loan write off
When the Fed Madoff swindling Americans, actually entire human race, will end? We need to stop the madness.
Obviously, we now have commercial off melt and write-off, but, regardless of the reality, the Fed Bernanke is continuing to hype markets, so that the Fed can continue to literally steal from Treasury by indebting the United States with which Americans would be fooled into.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/33587461
- U.S. banks are at risk of sizable new loan losses, particularly on commercial property, and some banks may not have sufficient capital to fully cushion against losses, a Federal Reserve official said on Monday.
Some large regional and community banks that have built up unusually high concentrations in commercial real estate loans will be "particularly affected" by conditions in those markets, said Jon Greenlee, associate director of the Fed's Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation.

Seeing how markets have performed during the FY and YTD, it is evident that the capitalist deception worked quite well as it has been bankrupting millions and nations around the world. The charm of the capitalist is "Deception" obviously as it was in Genesis 3.
Those who have perfect control of the markets such as the FED would have made astronomical fortunes repeatedly, and those who are lucky enough to time the markets well have gained decent returns, obviously. Nevertheless, as more and longer dances at the beat of markets will be slaughtered by the market manipulators like beaten by dancing snakes. How else 1% would have stolen 98% of global wealth.
As noted before, Christianity is used by Capitalists to deceive and to exploit as evidenced by millions of bankruptcies and bankrupted nations; and now it looks to be Muslim faith is being used to exploit naive, simple, and ignorant market players around the world.
The market hype as shown below is at the expense of billions and trillion literally stolen from the Treasury, and only ignorance would be continuing to be fooled into the deceptive capitalists manipulation; nevertheless, as long as living in this world, many will be bitten by mammon, the snake satan as in Genesis 3.
