 <description>&lt;p&gt;In some people&#039;s eyes, Replica Watches is ridiculous. I think these people must be very rich. In fact, sometimes Replica Watches can beat them. When they really can not afford the brand watches, and even looked down on Replica Watches.&lt;br /&gt;

 <title>Some quad-rail power</title>
 <link>http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/03/regulation#comment-239211</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Some quad-rail power supplies have been known to be problematic with gaming systems because you&#039;ll sometimes find that both PCI-e connectors are on the same rail and the demand of two high end video cards is too much for a single, smaller +12V rail. Usually, the solution to this is to move one of the PCI-e cards off of that rail and onto another by using a 4-pin Molex with an adapter.SMPS transformers run at high frequency.&lt;br /&gt;

 <link>http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/03/regulation#comment-191007</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I have been saving for a month and within fifty dollars of a Kindle DX, but I will be purchasing an Iphone instead. There is NO WAY I would by a device that does not really belong to me - seriously, what else have they programed in besides the ability to search and delete from my book cases, that we don&#039;t know about??&lt;/p&gt;

That would be the republican party. They did, and for us spectators, it was very entertaining.</description>

 <title>Tax on transactions is silly</title>
 <link>http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/03/regulation#comment-155192</link>
 <description>And merely regressive on small investors. &quot;Slowing&quot; finance down solves fuck all as to the origins of the crisis; why you think rendering things more inefficient and thus more expensive is a gain (an in a manner that would penalise the &#039;little guys&#039;) escapes me - (but then so did your &#039;progressive&#039; desire to give the little guys a chance at losing their shirts in high risk debt bets).

More transparency on systematic connections, unified regulation to knit together oversight better, that makes sense. 

Your leverage obsession is vaguely amusingly Quixotic and naive, but improved rules about off-balance sheet exposures is in fact not only doable, but actually useful. </description>

 <title>Principles</title>
 <link>http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/03/regulation#comment-155160</link>
 <description>Principles are sometimes a bit more broad than &#039;limiting leverage&#039;.

Fewer ways to benefit from tearing things down.
Greater profits from longer-term investment strategies.
No betting, limited speculation and mostly investing.
More transparency -- no off-shore off-the-books hide &amp; seek lies.
More balance of risk and safety -- not fake hedging or over-leveraging or fake ratings.
More accountability -- no golden parachutes for going bankrupt.

 <title>g.powell beat me to the punch</title>
 <link>http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/03/regulation#comment-155124</link>
 <description>on changing incentives for auditors and ratings agencies.  But in addition I think we need to see some incentive changes within all major financial players.  The drive for short term results to pump up bonuses and stock options is a huge problem.  

I imagine this will be a difficult regulation do design and enforce, but we have to address it.  Perhaps bonuses above some threshold can only be given out in stock options that vest over a long time horizon, like 10 years from inception.  Or explicit clawback provisions based on company losses due to a executives past decisions and actions.

I think perverse incentives, or the idea that most people are out to benefit their company and not themselves individually, are the most basic over-arching issue and should be the &quot;big picture&quot; that drives the regulation.  Greenspan said thought company executives were best equipped to protect shareholder value and was genuinely surprised at their massive failure to do so.   But I think he still doesn&#039;t understand or won&#039;t admit that it wasn&#039;t a lack of capacity to protect shareholders that cause the problems, it was lack of desire.  These CEO&#039;s and hedge fund managers knew what was going on but were making 10&#039;s of millions because of it.   The governor of Lebabnon&#039;s Central Bank year ago prohibited bank purchases of MBS&#039;s and he makes about 200k per year, gets no bonuses, and has been there over a decade so he&#039;s not looking to jump into a multimillion dollar job at private company.  I don&#039;t think he&#039;s the smartest guy in the world, he just wasn&#039;t getting paid to lie.</description>

 <description>Hi,

How about adding this one?

Have a nice day,

 <title>Four possibilities</title>
 <link>http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/03/regulation#comment-155113</link>
 <description>Though I know little, I&#039;d posit 3 principles:

1) Systemic risk tax (taxation of big companies making big bets, taxation of leverage, taxation of profits on asset classes growing much faster than previous experience);
2) Reform the incentives of financial decisionmakers (require some bonuses to be paid in restricted stock that can only be liquidated in say 10 years, change incentives of rating agencies)
3) Transparency regulations (a financial institution&#039;s precise risk exposure and stress test performance should be public knowledge)
4) Possibly, prediction markets for asset price bubbles [the private sector might take care of this one]</description>

 <title>A transaction tax?</title>
 <link>http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2009/03/regulation#comment-155109</link>
 <description>In my dreams!  Transaction taxes have been floating around the edges of the possible for a while, but I don&#039;t see where the political oomph to get it done would come from.  As a favor to a long-time reader, could you expand on what it would take in a later post, Mr. Drum?</description>
