Alas, that is not so different from the conundrum facing the government's newly announced bank-rescue agency. The announcement prompted a rare surge in the stock market last week because it indicated a willingness to let insolvent banks fail. The problem is that bureaucrats are already arguing over which banks should be allowed to go and which should be propped up. That sort of dispute speaks volumes about why the country seems to be dithering while the world screams for action.

...Boeing headed into a more or less permanent tailspin? The stock market has long seemed to be saying so, as it cut the value of Boeing shares 26% over the past year. But the company claims to be in a turnaround. Top executives say Boeing delivered 61 commercial jets last month, a record for June, and has finally broken through bottlenecks that delayed production of its so-called Next-Generation 737s, the fastest-selling new jets in aviation history.

...online stock trading service E*Trade got a big boost Friday afternoon when the giant Japanese software distributor Softbank announced it was investing a fresh $400 million in the upstart brokerage. Forget Kleiner Perkins -- the Tokyo-based Softbank is the real kingmaker when it comes to anointing web frontrunners. The investment raises Softbank's stake to 27% of E*Trade, and matches the company's large ownership interest in other web winners like Yahoo (31%) and Geocities (35%). Softbank also owns more than 70% of electronics publishing giant Ziff-Davis...
