]]> Comment on Are You Having A Cash Flow Nightmare? by Joel L. Fishman, Esq. http://gohagit.wordpress.com/2009/04/20/are-you-having-a-cash-flow-nightmare/#comment-7 Joel L. Fishman, Esq. Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:39:29 +0000 http://gohagit.wordpress.com/?p=108#comment-7 Harvey, This is one of the best pieces I have ever read, both from a business development standpoint, as well as from an informational vantage point. It is also presented with real sensitivity (i.e., you are open about your own sleepless nights). I am sending this article to a client with whom I have had several discussions about paying more attention to revenues and expenses, and to engage in forecasting. You hit it on the head. I will follow up with this "hard headed" client and see if I can get he (and the company) headed your way. Regards, Joel Harvey,

Probably Not! by Barbara Bagley, CFA http://gohagit.wordpress.com/2009/04/08/something-to-think-about-%e2%80%a6-eliminating-mark-to-market-will-it-work-probably-not/#comment-6 Barbara Bagley, CFA Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:17:14 +0000 http://gohagit.wordpress.com/?p=83#comment-6 Harvey, we met a Carl Terzian-sponsored lunch about a year ago. I'm with you on the 'nationalization' idea. Buying the toxic assets at above-market prices (what the current PPIF plan entails so there is no further degradation of the banks' balance sheets)seems just as foolish as making loans against hugely inflated appraisals of 2005 - 2007. Prudent lending standards were thrown out the window in the rush to capture subprime and alt-A market share. As someone who toils in the investment arena daily (with no exposure to money center banks), I have read a ton of conspiracy theories about why the bailout plan was structured this way - the answer may be as simple as lack of lending and investment experience on the part of those drafting it.

Probably Not! by Joe Gallardo, CPA http://gohagit.wordpress.com/2009/04/08/something-to-think-about-%e2%80%a6-eliminating-mark-to-market-will-it-work-probably-not/#comment-4 Joe Gallardo, CPA Fri, 10 Apr 2009 20:26:53 +0000 http://gohagit.wordpress.com/?p=83#comment-4 Harvey, I just happened to read your blog this morning about the “Will Mark to Market Work?” I too have my doubts about the leaders in Washington. Perhaps you may know the answer to this comment better than I. I think the reason why we get some decisions from Congress that just leave us stunned is because the people that sit on these finance related committees have little or no financial background. If there were CPAs like you sitting on these committees and that one involving the bailout monies, we wouldn’t have had those controversial ING bonus payouts. I certainly think that we could use you in Sacramento. During a time when California is suffering from double-digit unemployment, Californians receive a sales and income tax increases. That makes no sense! The governor and state senators and assembly people need lessons in understanding finance. Good luck to you in your new endeavor. I’ve read all your books over the years, from “122 minutes a month” to “Don’t bust the budget, toss it.” I’ve enjoyed every one and found them quite useful in my practice. By the way, I also use the software. Unfortunately, I too run into responses similar to Ernie Houseman and Tom Winters when in it comes to the use of financial statements and cash flow projections as powerful decision making tools. But, I still keep trying. Best wishes, and I will follow your new blog closely. Joe Harvey,
