CDS
Charlie Chaplin bailed out of the stock market a year before the crash of 1929. He felt if average people were in it, time to get out of it. But he had a feeling things were not right.
After the 1929 crash, it took three years and more stock market falls, before the full effect was in place. It wiped out Edna's and many of her families money by 1932.
In comments I have placed an article about why it is so hard for Paulson to be straight in his answers to congress on this mess many people created, and will be saddled with, bailout or not.
It is called about CDS (Credit Default Swap). A popular derivative used to make uncontrolled money, you could say. CDS's were worth up to $62 Trillion dollars in December 2007 (Bloomberg mentioned often today).
Update: Oct. 5, 2008 - CBS 60 Minutes report about Credit Default Swap. Transcript is in comments.

If you want to know what taxpayers are getting into with all this 'toxic paper' no one else wants, you need to read the 2002 report in comments, warning about it.

GV families mandate for more date openings
Glendale News Press reports Grand View families are wanting more date openings at cemetery. more>
"Attorneys representing the families suing owners of Grand View Memorial Park will ask a judge today to mandate the cemetery’s opening to the public for future dates, including Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Attorneys want Judge Anthony Mohr to grant public openings of the Glendale’s oldest cemetery on Oct. 12 and 26, Nov. 9, 23 and 27, Dec. 21 and 25, and Jan. 1 and 6, according to a court report. If granted, the cemetery hours would be from noon to 4 p.m.
“I don’t think that’s going to be a problem,” said Attorney Paul Ayers, who represents the families.
Ayers hasn’t received opposition from cemetery operator Moshe Goldsman about the request for future openings, he said, adding that Goldsman’s attorney David Baum has volunteered at the openings."
September 19, 2008 - Court orders more dates open for cemetery
"A civil court judge on Thursday ordered an additional nine openings at Grand View Memorial Park to allow visitors access to their loved ones’ graves during the holidays.
Judge Anthony Mohr approved the opening of the cemetery on Oct. 12 and 26, Nov. 9, 23 and 27, Dec. 21 and 25, and Jan. 1 and 6, according to a court report. The cemetery will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on those dates.
“It’s been three years that people haven’t been allowed to get out there and visit on the holidays,” said Attorney Mary Der-Parseghian, who represents families suing the cemetery." - Glendale Press

September 17, 2008 - The historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood is for sale. more>
September 17, 2008 - Samuel Goldwyn (Beverly Hills) family estate is up for sale. more>
September 17, 2008 - Here is a LINK to an August 2008 program on 'All Things Considered' about "Remembering Hollywood's Hays Code, 40 Years On"
September 17, 2008 - If you live or visiting in the Chicago area, do check out the Gene Siskel Film Center for array of films and lectures on films. Link to Center>
September 17, 2008 - Web 'Sighting'
I don't know if it was the real 1938 film of Education de Prince, but a short clip was on youtube, but removed by youtube.
Reason given for it being removed states:
"removed due to terms of use violation"
I didn't see this clip and it is NOT the film version Edna Purviance starred in 1927, but I have been looking for this 1938 film too, to compare to images in the current collection. I will keep searching for both.
I do think if Edna's 1927 version is still around, it maybe hiding in a France or other European archive or film collection, with managers who may not know what it is or even know they have it.
So if you surf the web for Education de Prince and see the youtube link, you will see an image, apparently from the 1938 version of the film (NOT the 1927), but the video gone.
11110 Edna Purviance Drive
7 Phase F Lovelock NV
I am trying to check this out to see if this is just a named road on private property, or an official name. The 'Drive' is onto a desert lot near Lovelock, so could be a privately named road or just a 'name catcher' for the web. I will see if I get word back.7 Phase F Lovelock NV
