The SEC 
(unknown author) via blog maverick on Sun, 30 Nov. 2008
Shared by James D Kirk
Realizing that Mark Cuban is being investigated, one might be want to take this post with a bit of scrutiny. However, upon reading it, you'll likely find that his "reporting" of the audit appears fair and balanced, though clearly pointing out some of the challenges within the SEC. A fair usage of ones time to read this.

Cable & The Internet P2& The FCC - What many are missing
markcuban via blog maverick on Fri, 28 Nov. 2008
Just a brief update to try to explain what some commenters dont seem to understand.
1. the only thing that cable companies, and satellite for that matter have to sell is bandwidth and the applications they can run on that bandwith. More bandwidth means more digital everything.
2. For Basic Cable subscribers that get say, 40 analog channels, they are consuming 40 x 38.6mbs

Cable & The Internet vs The FCC
markcuban via blog maverick on Wed, 26 Nov. 2008
You may not know it, but the cable industry is fighting a battle for the future of the internet. In the grand scheme of things, I think both the FCC and the Cable and Satellite industries want to see the internet thrive. In this case I believe the FCC is making a mistake.
Every now and then, things get a little confused and in this case the confusion is going to cause the intern

I Hate to Lose

What a great owner! Mark, stay awesome!
No question the start of the season has been a struggle for the Mavs and all of our fans. I guess the good news is that hopefully we are getting the bad part of the season out of the way at the beginning rather than during the end of the year, as we have the last several years.

The Hedge Fund Disconnect
markcuban via blog maverick on Thu, 13 Nov. 2008
As I watch and read about the Hedge Fund testimony currently going on, its obvious that the right question has not been asked.
1. Those who give money to hedge funds rarely if ever have a 1 year investment term. In fact, the contracts for investment do everything possible to lock up your money for as long as possible.

Underwater Car Loan BailOut ?
(unknown author) via blog maverick on Wed, 12 Nov. 2008
Shared by Daltonsbriefs
He makes a good point, do we bailout homeowners just because their value today is less than they paid? Stock holders? Bond holders?
Got your attention didn’t I ?
You all do realize that anyone who buys a new car is UNDERWATER the minute you sign the papers and drive off the lot ? That you get further and further

Homes vs Stocks
markcuban via blog maverick on Tue, 11 Nov. 2008
So whats the difference between being underwater on a mortgage and underwater on a stock ? Is it that “experts” will tell you to hold the stock in hopes of it going up in value and then explain that those with homes worth less than their mortgages shouldn’t feel bad about breaking their mortgages and defaulting ?
I think “Buy and Hold” for stocks is one of the all time

PE Obama’s 1st Big Mistake
markcuban via blog maverick on Sat, 08 Nov. 2008
Its great to see President Elect Obama aggressively taking on the economy prior to his taking office. Unfortunately, the economic advisory team that he has put together looks more like a semester’s worth of great guest speakers for an MBA class than an economic advisory team that can truly help him.
There are a lot of great minds on the list.

Proud To Be an American
markcuban via blog maverick on Wed, 05 Nov. 2008
I voted for President Elect Obama.
The rest of my votes went almost exclusively to Republicans , Libertarians and Independents.
In looking at the Democratic platform, there are a few things I agree with, but on the economic side, other than being ok with him raising my effective tax rate to 40pct, there isn’t a lot of his economic policy that I do agree with him on. So

The Stock Market: The New Normal ?
markcuban via blog maverick on Tue, 28 Oct. 2008
“Past Performance is No Indication of Future Results”. Its a statement attached to every financial salespitch ever offered. So why is it no one believes it ?
Turn on CNBC, Fox Business, Bloomberg, and every other comment from the “experts” mouths are “historically when the Dow ….fill in the blank….” or “for the last X years, every time the market did X, then

The Fed Should Buy Down Consumer Credit Card Rates - Fast
markcuban via blog maverick on Fri, 24 Oct. 2008
Lets say I owe the bank behind my credit card 1k dollars and Im paying 10pct interest because the best I can do is a little bit more than the minimum payment.
You come to me and tell me you are going to take out a loan for at least 25k dollars, get me to cosign for it, and garnish the taxes I will pay in the future to pay back the loan. Then you tell me you are going to

The Cure To Our Economic Problems
markcuban via blog maverick on Fri, 24 Oct. 2008
I would hate to be the winning Presidential candidate. Both candidates are delusional in thinking their economic policies will drag us out of a recession or even improve the economy. The reality is that the solutions offered by both are the equivalent of shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. They are meaningless.
You can cut taxes for 95pct of Americans and raise taxes

Transparency is key to the success of the Bailout and related loans and investments the government makes with our tax dollars. Without complete transparency, we will get from our government what we always get when it comes to finances, confusion. To do my part, I’ve worked with the folks at Sharesleuth.com to create

The Cause of Bubbles =Investment vs Financial Engineering
markcuban via blog maverick on Sat, 11 Oct. 2008
Let me get this straight. In 2008, funds trying to squeeze out another basis point or two thought they were being conservative buying insurance on heavily leveraged portfolios of sub prime loans and other debt. Once those loans started to default, it created a cascading deleveraging event which lead to major financial institutions failing and the

I’m Still Going Long and Hoping the Markets Go Down
(unknown author) via blog maverick on Fri, 10 Oct. 2008
First rule of Investing. Dont fall in love with positions or try to prove yourself right. I thought we might get a bounce. I was wrong. I covered my short puts when the market started to shed its gains. So I lucked out there.
More importantly, i wanted to clarify my bullishness. I don’t think the mark
