New York Times The New York Times is an American daily newspaper founded in 1851 and published in New York City. The largest metropolitan newspaper in the United States, “The Gray Lady” — named for its staid appearance and style — is regarded as a national newspaper of record. The Times is owned by The New York Times Company, which publishes eighteen other newspapers, including the International Herald Tribune and The Boston Globe. The company’s chairman is Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., whose family has controlled the paper since 1896.
The paper’s motto, as printed in the upper left-hand corner of the front page, is “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” It is organized into sections: News, Opinions, Business, Arts, Science, Sports, Style, and Features. The Times stayed with the eight-column format for several years after most papers switched to six columns, and it was one of the last newspapers to adopt color photography. The Times has won 101 Pulitzer Prizes, the most of any news organization. Its web site was the most popular American online newspaper Web site as of December 2008, receiving more than 18 million unique visitors in that month. [Wikipedia: 2009]
The end of the dollar?
By John Schroy, on September 17th, 2009 | 
Igor Panarin, a Russian academic, is making headlines predicting the end of the United States in 2010. With his connections in the intelligence community, one might wonder what Professor Panarin might know about Barack Obama and his radical cabinet of ‘czars’ that is unknown to the American people?
Panarin’s map of the proposed breakup of the United States seems to exhibit a profound mis-understanding of American political history and culture. However, the non-democratic behavior of the Pelosi-Reid Congress does raise questions as to the future of the country.
Stock buyback fraud

The Federal Reserve flow of funds accounts have signaled that there is a massive disequilibrium in the US equity market for over a year. Most investors will pass through these days of madness, hardly appreciating the spectacle that surrounds them.
However, I will step into the breach and make an unsolicited public service announcement:
“The Great Buyback Bubble is now official! Look around you and behold!”
Questionable SIPC Guarantees?
By John Schroy, on July 24th, 2006 | 
Millions have brokerage accounts with SIPC protection and think this means they have government insurance of up to $500,000 on securities in custody with a broker-dealer, plus $100,000 on cash balances — similar to the FDIC guarantee on bank accounts.
In this, millions of investors are mistaken.
