  1. Loss-share agreements abuse public

    In November 2011, I wrote a column about FDIC loss-share agreements and how banks who exploit them were reaping windfalls while prolonging the foreclosure crisis, depressing property values and harming American families. The FDIC took issue with my...

  2. Regulators follow golden road to Promontory

    Mary Schapiro, the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, must take us for fools. No need to worry about her and the so-called revolving door between government and Wall Street, she told the Wall Street Journal on April 2, after...

  4. The True National Debt

    WASHINGTON -- How big is the national debt?
    WASHINGTON -- How big is the national debt? You'd think this would be an easy question. Surely we know how much the government owes. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The true national debt could be triple the conventional estimate, anywhere from $11...

  5. Will Dodd-Frank save (or stifle) capitalism?

    WASHINGTON -- It's been five years since the onset of the financial crisis -- the rescue of Bear Stearns in March 2008 -- and we still don't know whether the financial system is safe. In a recent speech, Daniel Tarullo, the Federal Reserve's point man on regulation, contended that substantial, though incomplete, progress has been made. As an example, he cited the doubling of equity capital for the 18 largest bank holding companies from $393 billion in late 2008 to $792 billion at the end of 2012. Equity capital is shareholders' money; it acts as a buffer against losses. Interestingly, JPMorgan Chase's well-publicized $6 billion loss by the trader nicknamed the &quot;London Whale" confirms the point. Despite the loss's size, it never threatened a panic or overall financial stability.

  7. Final jobs report before election gives ammo for both sides

    The final set of monthly jobs data before Tuesday's presidential election provided both campaigns fodder to drive home their closing arguments on jobs and the economy, with President Barack Obama's team arguing the numbers show the economy on the rebound while Mitt Romney's team claiming it shows an economy still struggling.

  10. Scams target investors frantic for safe returns

    <strong>Q: My retirement CDs, which are currently paying 5.2 percent, will mature next year. Of course, I'm concerned about where I can put the money when that happens. I'm a 74-year-old widow who has been living on Social Security and the required minimum distribution from my IRA. My newspaper in Arizona has ads for what looks like too-good-to-be-true returns. It says: Attention CD owners 7.0% APY, and principal and interest are totally secure. The firm, according to the ad, has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been serving clients for over 11 years. Can this be a safe investment? I'm pretty much convinced it isn't.</strong>
