Look For Me On the CBS Evening News Tonight
By JLP | October 16, 2008
UPDATE: I just got a call from the producer. It turns out that my story got booted for something else. He did say that it will either air tomorrow (Friday) or Monday. We’ll see…
I got an email this morning from the producer of the CBS Evening News. He was doing some research and came across AFM and wanted to ask me some questions. So I gave him a call and we talked for a bit about the market and what it’s doing to my wife’s 401(k). Then he told me that he wanted to send a crew out to me and get my picture and ask me some questions for tonight’s Evening News.
Of course there is no guarantee that the story will run but I wanted to let everyone know in case you want to tune in.

Congradulations. Many financial analysis have lost a lot of credibility in this financial crisis and the media is looking for new voices.

“#1) You can only live outside of your means for so long.”
That’s true for ‘governments’, too !
{Even those with Dollar printing-presses}
The massive USSR superpower-nation suddenly went bankrupt and dissolved… astonishing world “experts”.
It can happen here. The stock-market is merely a symptom of deep structural problems.
“#2) Seriously, who’s bright idea was it to bundle up subprime mortgages—the riskiest of all mortgages— and sell them off as “safe” investments?”
….who’s bright idea was it ‘buy’ that stuff ?? It takes Two-to-Tango… you can still ‘buy’ the Brooklyn-Bridge if you’re dumb enough to do so. There is ultimately no limit on the number things you can waste your money upon. “Buyer Beware” {… but don’t let the corrupt politicians stick taxpayers with the bill}
“#7) Greed is a deadly motivator”
… and our government politicians & bureaucrats are totally immune to greed for power and money — we can totally trust these angelic persons to tax us, inflate our money, and flawlessly control the economy.
“#8) People need a basic education in money management.”
…and they sure don’t get it in government (public) skools, that indoctrinate 90% of Americans to believe the government “authorities” will take care of them from cradle-to-grave.

They probably needed the time to dig into the personal life of “Joe the Plumber”.
