This is bad. Lehman Brothers is not getting the Government bailout many on the Street were hoping for. This could have disastrous consequences for America's Economy. I do not believe that America is headed for another Depression but I'm just thinking... Remember Jim Cramer's "Stop Trading" angry rant? Well, Erin Burnett tried to calm him down (he seemed a little crazy) his anger and fear for what would happen to the Financial's without further Fed help seem even more legitimate today.
Monday morning will be a little crazy and I'm sure few on Wall Street are sleeping tonight.
Enjoy Once Again as Jim Cramer, Takes Out Some Anger on the Fed-Live on TV.

Bill Gates Best Bits

Mark Cuban
People often have a lot of negative things to say about Mark Cuban but after reading his blog, my respect for the man has grown leaps and bounds.
Here's an insightful and recent post from Cuban:
No matter what year you were born, by the time you finish high school, its a completely different world. Today's high school seniors were born prior to the World Wide Web, wireless internet, digital phones, and changes in world politics that were never imagined.
Compare the technology, political, social world we live in today, and you realize quickly. None of us are born in to the world we live in...

Live on the Big Screen- Warren Buffet I.O.U.S.A Trailer
Tonight, Warren Buffet, Pete Peterson & Dave Walker are appearing live on the big screen in movie theaters across the country. The financial experts plan to discuss the growing federal deficit and present the documentary; I.O.U.S.A.
Official Synopsis Via Moviefone.com:
The message of I.O.U.S.A is simple and important: Unless immediate action is taken to slow ballooning deficit; We (Americans) will be in deep trouble. But I shouldn't limit this films importance to American's only and point out that it is common abroad to hear phrases such as, "When America Sneezes...We Catch a Cold." Implying the economic stability of America is directly related to the economic stability of developed and undeveloped countries around the world.
Official Synopsis Via Moviefone.com:
'I.O.U.S.A.' is a documentary film exploring the rapidly growing federal debt and its implication for the United States and its citizens. America is faced with the challenges of an ever-expanding government and military, increased foreign competition, and obligations it is finding more and more difficult to honor. As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire and begin collecting benefits from America's over-extended entitlement programs, an economic disaster of epic proportions awaits. -

For You StartUp.com Fans
Here's a great interview with director Jehane Noujaim, Chris Hegedus and former CEO of Govworks.com; Kaleil Isaza Tuzman.
StartUp.com was released in 2001 on the heals of the bursting .COM bubble. The movie wasn't exactly a hit, but received critical acclaim and appealed to certain audiences. StartUp.com succeeds at connecting with entrepreneurs, Wall Street, and the Business World due to its real life portrayal of Kaleil Isaza Tuzman and partners as they launched GovWorks.com.
Unlike many documentaries StartUp.com, Kaleil, his partners (especially Tom) connect with the audience and its hard not to feel the highs and lows these real entrepreneurs experience. The tagline for the movie is, "The Rise and Fall of the American Dream" which is relevant and obvious as the story plays out.
The amazing part about StartUp.com is that the business they are trying to start should have worked. In my opinion GovWorks.com failed due to over funding due unrealistic expectations of growth and profitability by overzealous Venture Capitalists.
