And Iceland's CDS unwinds.

Getting ready for some option ARM real estate.

House was talking about this yesterday. I would rather change the accounting law (although you know the U.S. will look like idiots to the rest of the world) than blow $700bn up front. Besides, it will give the U.S. time to come with a real plan regarding that $700bn and if the shit really does...

Lol!!

If only the taxpayer would get similar terms as the Buffett the businessman. $5bn @ 10% preferreds $700bn @ uh, what's the donation rate these days??

LMAO - better than comedy central!!

Can anybody quantify how much credit flows through our financial system?? Also, how does a $trillion flow, where will it flow, and how long will it flow for, and how will that amount of cash affect consumers and businesses?? Is it enough to jumpstart whatever we're trying to jumpstart here??

So what you're really saying is Buffett "donates" 8% of his net worth to GS, which he lends through his company at 10% with some saucy warrants for good measure. Not much of a loss if he loses it. Kinda like the Prince Alwaleed of Citigroup.

"Long bond yields actually paradoxically rose as the depression went on by the way." Combo of "didn't trust government" and "need spending cash"?? Or, alternatively, price enjoys volume and tends to seek out these levels...not so sure this logic applies to treasury market tho.

Ok, how about the ailing Middle East banks?? Perhaps there IS a reason why Dubai is on the face of the map afterall....to greet and welcome the onslaught of i-bankers from NYC. Just speculating....

If investors remove their funds from the market and re-allocate it to real estate (on the cheap I might add). They will be limited by 30-50% down, required by U.S. lenders. Alternatively, they will seek non-U.S. bank lenders....liquid Middle-East, European, and Asian banks...and get, for...

NYSE no longer has trading curbs. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aUL8Vr5ssB_k I guess we gotta legislate the curbs in. Well, 799 financial stocks for a short while. Interesting times!!

LMFAO!!

$0.02 Whatever they do doesn't mean anything right now. I voted lower by 25bp because they can take this opportunity or not. If they go the other way, check for brake marks!!! Either way one thing is for sure: 1. liquidity = print more dollars Which means: 2. short this dollar...

No doubt, and they've had years to do it. Now Toyota and Honda are the dominators. GM and Ford should spend some of that SUV profit over the last couple years on a rebound line of cars and trucks. Although, I have my doubts, when it comes to design, that they can hit the spot as well as...

Agreed, just about same amount of cash as US Treasury, less the printing press. I wonder to what extent they can influence rates, here...
