    Japan’s Nikkei-225 share average was up 2.3%. The market pulled higher after the Bank of Japan announced it planned to buy stocks held by Japanese banks to help improve the lenders’ balance sheets. It said it would purchase up to Y1 trillion worth of stocks through April 2010.

    Possible first signs of monetization in Japan.

    I’ll buy your shares, you buy mine. Then, we’ll both hide under a pile of coats and hope that somehow everything magically works out.

    And right on cue, the Nikkei gave it all back. I assume the Japanese banks have the same bad asset problem ours do – you can sell the securities but at what price and what are they on the books for, etc….

    Cronkite!? This guy? Sweet!

    “It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace. To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order. But the American colonies did it once and brought forth one of the most nearly perfect unions the world has ever seen”

    -Walter Cronkite, ’99

    It was all fun when nobody knew the world was coming to an end. Now that people are starting to catch on it’s starting to suck. I want to walk away, but I’m stuck on this rock full of shitheads, run by shitheads. Making money is getting to be less and less of a comfort.

    Okay. I will do it.
    But first I have to give a speech about global warming, why Bush sucked, and alternative energy needs. Then I have to meet my buddy Ted Kennedy at Hyannis Port to try and block the wind turbines off the island because we are rich and can afford to be hypocrites.

    And that’s the way it is.

    JPMorgan Chase and Co Selected By The Federal Reserve As Custodian For Its Mortgage-Backed Securities Purchase Program

    – The program, which began on January 5, 2009, will purchase up to $500B in MBS that are backed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. The goal of the program, which was originally announced on November 25, 2008, is to provide support to mortgage and housing markets and to foster improved conditions in financial markets more generally.

    Bush was great because he gave way to the Lord Obama.

    By the way, that Tet Offensive thing in Vietnam that I spoke about on CBS News as being a win for the Viet Cong and the NVA. I lied because I had a crush on Jane Fonda.

    Jake I thought you were around in the 60s and 70s.

    Your commentary seems more mature than 90% of the people here. So I figured you must be older.

    I agree about Cronkite. Dont forget tho that The Fly voted for Obama so he leans liberal. So having a Cronkite news reporter on the blog would not be unusual.

    UConn looked very strong, and played our game better than we did with their fast breaks.

    That said, Cards game plan against Thebeet was horrendous (no one even challenged him until late in the second half) and they were the coldest shooting I’ve seen since the UNLV game, and that was a really bad day.

    That said, they needed a loss like this.

    T-Will was awesome.
