Congress is patching together something to fix the system it broke. You can look it up, but what you'll find is&amp;nbsp;a ton of articles about how the &amp;quot;Credit Crunch Affects Higher Education.&amp;quot; That premise is rubbish.&amp;nbsp;Most news stories say&amp;nbsp;little or nothing about the real cause of the problem. Many lenders did go too far and did create a credit crunch, most conspicuously in the housing market.

Sentiment at the gathering was described as &amp;quot;raucous&amp;quot; (which to my mind suggests that if the crowd was anything but mostly Swiss, their emotional state may well have incited an all-out, chair-throwing spasm of violence). Shareholders received assurances that UBS's top executives and board would be repopulated by bankers with more conservative instincts; they were also told that the firm was very sorry and wouldn't do it anymore. Assurances aside, the plight at UBS begs the question: How could a revered institution -- which represents a centuries-old tradition of &amp;quot;confidence, security, and discretion&amp;quot; in banking -- become a case study in irresponsible asset management?]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 3 May 2008 09:22:06 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Why Has Gold Turned Down?</title><link>http://www.elliottwave.com/clicks/default.aspx?cn=&amp;src=4&amp;url='/features/default.aspx?cat=gw*articleid=3978'</link><category>Global Wrap</category><description><![CDATA[In case you were wondering: You haven&amp;rsquo;t gotten taller over the last month.
