E-Trade Swallows Cake Financial, Shuts It Down
Cake Financial, a social web service for sharing stock portfolios, has been acquired by E-Trade. The service is to be shut down, information destroyed and account payments reimbursed, according to a thinly positive landing page letter from Cake CEO Steven Carpenter now blocking access to the site. “We are honored to be a part of the E-trade family and believe that E-trade can make the vision we had for all investors a reality,” it reads. No word yet from E-Trade about the deal, the terms of which were not disclosed. Cake, which launched in 2007, had seen minimal…

Bond ETF...You may have heard of exchange-traded funds, ETF for short, which are investment vehicles that track an index. But did you know there are bond etfs? etfs work much like index mutual funds in that they hold assets in quantities mimicking an index. But, unlike mutual funds, etfs trade on an exchange, like a stock. Bond etfs are simply etfs that track a bond index instead of a stock index. Some track broad bond indices, such as the Lehman US Aggregate Index. Others track narrower bond indices, such as the Lehman 1-3 Year Bond Index and the Lehman 7-10 Year Bond Index. This allows investors to obtain exposure to bonds of specific maturities. Bond etfs are attractive because they offer easy diversification as well as low costs and tax efficiency. Because they aren’t actively managed, etfs typically don’t have high fees. They also tend to have low turnover, to they generate relatively low capital gains.

FACT CHECK: Obama likes both sides of an argument
[Political News]In President Barack Obama's hands, the $700 billion financial rescue fund offers a bit of bookkeeping magic: an opportunity to pay down the deficit while also spending more—thereby adding to it. It wasn't the president's only attempt at having his cake and eating it, too, in his speech.

Pelosi content to let them eat cake
[Political Opinion]The 1st bailout did little if anything to stop the financial meltdown. Now Democrats are proposing a stimulus pkg. that will have little immediate effect & includes lots of pork spending for unrelated issues. Basically, the govt. is offering no relevant help and perhaps has worsened what already is a devastating situation.

Capitalism? Nope. Creditism
[Business & Finance]Credit-money financial systems corrupt not only the economic system but also the morals of society. We must teach our children that they can either eat their cake now or save it for later; pretending that we can do both because politicians and bankers promise it is foolish.
