Credit Card Crunch

[Whitney is quite right of course that it's a good idea for banks to know their customers and not to rely on centralized, computerized underwriting which relies far too heavily on FICO scores]

In the early 70's, my parents moved to a new town and applied for a mortgage to buy a home. They almost didn't get the loan because the people at the local bank "didn't know them."

We've sure come a long way. And not for the better.

On Saturday, I called Chase to ask them to remove a bogus late fee on my credit card. They refused. I literally laughed at the customer service rep and told her to go to lend to some deadbeat and cancelled my account of 12 years.

I'm exactly the kind of customer these people want - I live beneath my means, have low debt/income, and ahve excellent credit. It took me no more than 5 minutes to apply and get approval online with another issuer.

These idiots still haven't learned the lesson.

"Since this is the only way to make money anymore and buying companies on their actual business is useless"

What a stupid thing to say.

Forget $100 a Barrel - Oil Will Plummet to $30

"When I was young if something was in print it was generally considered to have validity."

Hahahahahaha! Yes, old chap. Back in the day, the stuff in print was always DEAD ON.

No agendas. No propaganda. Just the facts.

What a gullible old fool.

Don't Just Do Something, Stand There

Copying and pasting the same faggoty screed into multiple posts. How pathetic.

Do Dividend Stocks Underperform the Market?

"the rules of the game have changed so much"

Yes. Just like they'd changed during the tech bubble.

Or so some thought.

Will Climate Advocacy Pay Off For Shareholders?

I notice you nutjobs switched to calling "global warming" climate change after the earth refused to cooperate with your silly predictions.

Climate change. Pfffftttt.. The climate has been changing here for a few billion years.

Why the Oil Spike?

"Israel has likely one of the largest nuclear weapons arsenals in the world, yet they feel that other countires in the region have no right to obtain such weapons"

Yeah, those dirty Jews should just let the Muslims who hate them push them right into the sea, as they've repeatedly stated is their goal.

Stupid Jews always causing trouble with their desire to LIVE!!!!

Only These Three Things Can Halt Oil's Advance

"These oil profits go straight in to Republican coffers."

How stupid. You know nothing about U.S. politics. Shut the f$#k up and grow a brain.

Vikram Pandit, 'COO' of Citigroup

I'd rather see a few months of quiet observation and careful planning rather than some loudmouthed and uninformed declaration where Citi group should be heading.

Successful companies need CEOs who are capable of patient and careful long-term strategic planning. If someone waltzed into Citi and immediately declared that he had everything figured out, you could rightfully dismiss him as full of sh*t

Someone needs to bone up on when to use semicolons.

On second thought, that may be too advanced.
