And just when you thought all was stabilizing

  1. I think this is one of the mistakes we are making by not allowing more immigrants from Mexico and Latin America. They have kids, lots of kids, integrate pretty well into the melting pot and work their butts off. By scaring them away and not legally allowing them to citizenship - and I'm not talking amnesty - we are shooting ourselves in the foot. We need a strong, growing younger population to thrive and that's not going to happen with current policies and gringo birth rates...

    don't worry, mate. web 2.0 is an invented term, and not one that should be perpetuated. It's the same internet/web as always, we're just finding more uses for it.

  5. social groups have been on the internet for years. Newsgroups might be the earliest example. heck even yahoo groups and geocities paints a picture of the new social web from the 90s, even though neither really took advantage of the opportunity. you can basically call that web 1.0. they really didn't know the potential cash cow that they had.

    web 2.0 is a buzzword, but it goes beyond what the internet was years ago, hence the creation of the buzzword.

  6. It's an interesting article...
    But what journalists think is of absolutely no importance.

    One has to look at typical INVESTMENT GRADE corporate debt...
    And see how MBIA or AMBAC insured debt is trading:

    These are rough figures last several months:

    US 10 Year Note: UP 6-7%

    MBIA or AMBAC insured: basically FLAT

    Uninsured >= BBB Corporate Debt: DOWN 15%

    CONCLUSION

    Bond traders not yet worried about insured debt.
