What happened with the edit of Barry’s comment that Paulson’s plan smacked of panic? Granted panic was running high at that time, but hearing Barry’s thoughts ‘cut’ makes me think there’s even more there than we thought! Kidding (though I’m dying to hear what he said ).

Always good stuff.
Thanks!

Mr. Ritholtz is one of few people that I will stop what I am doing and listen to his comments. I love his no BS approach that pulls no punches.

A pleasure to hear the info flow with mellow jest. I imagine the complexity and rigor that both Jonathan and Barry internalize is way beyond me, and yet I feel that what they talk about I understand and I am in heartfelt agreement with.

What you said, …because I just can see it all around me, intuitive observation. It is nice to have a confirmation.

I don’t understand Barry Ritholtz repeatedly classifying the stock market crash as an “Armageddon Trade”, “End of the world is coming trade”, etc. Even on March 6th, valuations didn’t get to historically cheap levels!

I liked the ‘home-oh-ers’ joke…

They are no longer home owners but home-oh-ers. (And I did not hear of the ‘strategic non foreclosure’ before by the way.)
