Charlie Rose: An Hour with Warren Buffett
On Monday, Warren Buffett wrote a widely-discussed New York Times opinion piece, “Stop Coddling the Super-Rich” about taxes in America. I think his subsequent appearance on the Charlie Rose show was really good at explaining his views and creating a meaningful dialogue on the issues of taxes and inequality. Video below
Tim Geithner on Charlie Rose in his own words regarding China
US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was on Charlie Rose the day before yesterday explaining his position on alleged "currency manipulation" by the Chinese. This quote stands out as defining his position: What’s happening is, as China holds its currency down, their currencies are moving up and they’re having to work very hard to make sure
The Sarko Euro Rampage Leak and Maxi Euro Devaluations
Is the Euro depreciation planned or just a by-product of currency revulsion? No one knows. However, the events of the past week following the European shock and awe package are curious to say the least. Here’s one curiosity. In the comments of my post on competitive currency devaluations, I said: Obama’s role in the Euro
Rosenberg: The Grinch who stole Christmas
This is a guest post from our newest contributor, Charles D. Bull. Greetings Writedowners, Ed has gone to bed already. This is Charles D. Bull speaking.

GMAC has been nationalized
And you thought the bailouts were over and market discipline might be restored. Not a chance – the bailouts will continue, come hell or high water. The latest demonstration of this is GMAC, where the government will now be majority owner. GMAC has officially been nationalized. Now the government is running auto financing in addition
Andy Xie: Central bank “arsonists have been asked to put out the fire”

The Rosetta Stone Advisors board member sees the huge increase in money supply created by central banks as fuel to an asset bubble fire. He even goes so far as to call the central banks
Bill Gross: “almost all assets appear to be overvalued on a long-term basis”
Bill Gross has a must-read piece out for his monthly Investment Outlook called “Midnight Candles.” He begins the piece with allusions to his advancing years (Gross is now 65) and the mortality he feels because of it – pretty sobering stuff. Gross then abruptly segues into his investment outlook, leaving one with the distinct impression
A conversation with Stephen Roach on Charlie Rose

Is Citi being forced to downsize by Obama?
It seems that not a day goes by when you don’t hear about some asset sale in Citigroup’s far-flung empire. Of all the major too-big-to-fail institutions, it is easily the most troubled: the poster child for everything that is wrong in finance in America. But, when President Obama’s Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg stepped in to
A conversation with Rahm Emanuel on Charlie Rose
The most newsworthy item in this clip is Emanuel saying that the healthcare bill cannot pass the Senate with a public option.

The
