Cramer’s Banks To Avoid	Cramer told investors that he is starting a new rule for bank stocks. If a bank stock falls under $5 a share it’s time to get out. He said he expects to see more IndyMac (IMB) situations unfold, so investors need to protect themselves and control their losses.

Jim Cramer’s Stop Trading!	Jim Cramer told investors that he saw more fear in the market today than just about any other time since the collapse of investment bank Bear Stearns (BSC).

Profiting from the 150 banks that will fail next?	Filed under: Industry, IndyMac Bancorp (IMB)Last week, the FDIC oversaw the second biggest bank failure in U.S. history -- $32 billion IndyMac Bancorp (NYSE: IMB). I thought more would be on the way and this morning's New York Times estimates that 150 of the 7,500 U.S. banks will fail in the next 12 to 18 months. The FDIC only has $53 billion in its fund to cover bank failures so it is going to be needing much more cash, which it may get from raising insurance rates. No doubt those of us with ba...

Tech Policy Poll	Quick poll: If you could suggest one tech policy proposal for the Presidential candidates to adopt, what would it be? Later today, I am speaking on a panel at the Personal Democracy Forum about national tech policy.

XM-Sirius: So Close, Yet So Far	The closer XM and Sirius get to regulatory approval of their proposed merger, the further away they are. The FCC staff recently, finally approved the pending merger of XM and Sirius Satellite Radio. The proposed deal has been in regulatory purgatory for 16 months. Earlier this year, the Justice Department gave the deal its blessing, and this week the staff of the FCC followed suit. That leaves one last hurdle: the powerful commissioners of the FCC, whose decision is expected within two months....	June 16, 2008
Verizon gives up the phone business, at least for some	Filed under: Consumer experience, Competitive strategy, Comcast Cl'A' (CMCSA), Verizon Communications (VZ)Verizon (NYSE:VZ) had decided that customers do not have to be landline clients to get the company's new fiber broadband and TV service.

More people are using their cellphones instead of the traditional h...	June 15, 2008
Jim Cramer’s Stop Trading	Jim Cramer came out with bearish comments on a number of financial stocks on CNBC’s “Stop Trading!” show Friday.

The company also said that one-seventh of its assets were non-preforming. Cramer said that Washington Mutual is horrible. He also cast doubt on Bank of America’s (BAC) decision to buyout Countrywide Finan...	June 13, 2008
Comcast To Trial New Network Management Technique	Starting this week, Comcast is running trials in three US local markets of a new method to manage traffic on its fiber broadband network. Comcast has recently come under fire for filtering and blocking P2P data on its network, causing both legal and illegal torrents to stop working or have their speeds reduced to a crawl. Comcast has responded to the criticism by publishing a new network management policy along with new tools to assist them in the task of managing bandwidth usage. The new app...	June 04, 2008
