the "BSC solution" is part of the landscape but that didn't help FNM or FRE after 3 PM today. if a bailout was really aimed at the common shareholder, I would have expected a key reversal in the shares, but that failed..

level 3 debt was created as an off balance sheet entry since it has no bid and who would dare bid on it since that would set in motion the very write downs that the banks can't handle. so look for the banks to create level 4 if they have to account for level 3 debt the reason the market...

cant see why the Federal Reserve would want to take over anything since it's in their best interest to wait for a crash and buy assets for pennies on the dollar. let the stooge taxpayer and the FDIC hold the bag while things sort out..
