Only you by throwing good money after bad.

Yeah I see the study part but removal of this accounting rule is a bad idea. Best thing would be an admendment which states the guidelines used for hard to value iliquids, Elimination of the rule will just put us back to where we were before but now that everyone knows no one would trust the...

If they had MtMkt in the first place would much of this be happening? So much for transparency.

If warrents are a large part of the deal for banks. Get short after the jump in financials. Oh crap we can not do that. Go short es and go long ETF's of the other major sectors to create a synthetic short of S&P financials. Maybe also buy the financials that do not have alot of crap on their...

If this did happen which I only see a small chance it would this would be a good solution. Most likely we would also see these foreign exchanges open up for longer hours to match the us time zones. China also just removed their stamp tax will now allow margin and also will allow shorting...

You go first. :D Seriously if they did that I would start to investigate the North Korean markets to trade.

I agree it kinda sounds like they are going to be forced to liquidate alot of there assets. Libor +850 thats not a bad rate for the fed if they get it all back, but very high if you are trying to run a financial/insurance company.

I thought it would be .25 but seems like they have a backbone afterall.

I like how this was in the article. If he recommends MER and says $x was the absolute bottom watch out. But hey, he is only down 77% on his LEH call.

The market is telling them they do not have until the first quarter of 09 to spin out the commercial property portion. The meeting of other institutions to come up with a solution also says this. One problem with the idea is that Lehman would have to provide capital to the spin off which they...

Politicians?

Maybe some one will pick it up for $.38 with the backing of the GOV of course.
