Furious

I am in agreement with Joe in PA. My IRA accounts weren't that impressive by most standards but it was my money - money that I worked hard for and a nice chunk of it has gone down the drain over the past year. I don't trust anyone any more. I'm pulling my funds out while I still have two nickels to rub together and sewing into my mattress. That's the only place it will be safe.

OLD LAWSUITS LEFT UNPAID

While Merrill is cleaning house they might want to consider settling the collection of lawsuits decided by the courts a long time ago,but still unpaid. Certainly not in the "bonus" price range, but still significant amounts of money. They've been sitting on these for years.

Merrill Lynch Bonuses

These executives are several notches below known sex offenders. Their names and addresses should be published in a national registry. They need to warn people to avoid them as they would avoid a sex offender.

Execs at Merrell Lyncy

Folks, the BARBARIANS are inside the GATE and in CONGRESS! How about a home loan or a bailout?

Can we say ethics?

This is why trickle down economics does not work. The money at the top gets hoarded by unethical execs while tax payers foot the bill.

Sickening

This is just unbelievable, the level to which we have fallen. When our business leaders simply suck the money right off the top, with no accountability, we are all in trouble. We've been undone by the greed of members of our own government, and our cream of the crop "Ivy League" business leaders.

Luxe Life

Luxury is no longer the sole province of the elite. Upscale goods and services now target a much broader market. Kimberly Castro, deputy business editor of U.S.News & World Report, takes a look at the luxe life, from fine wines and cars to high-end real estate and wealth management. Though no elitist, Kim does admit a fondness for a bold bottle of Scout's Honor from Venge Vineyards and satiating her wanderlust in Europe.
