Thanks, good post and point.

Yes, I posted the original article on the WS news thread and have written the author asking why it was altered, no respond yet. When US media outlets start to pick up the story all hell will break loose.

If there is anything I have learned it is that whatever information we get is always too little too late and too rosy. Evidently this information was not for public consumption at this time but it came out and those of us who recognize its import have a chance to protect our assets.

Buylo, what is your take on the 16.3 trillion news? Doesn't it just blow away anything we have seem coming out of the IMF, ECB etc as far as an estimate of how many trillions of assets are potentially toxic? Can you believe that no US Financial media outlet has picked up on this?

Amazing that this has not be reported more widely and that there is not more attention being paid to this. This is huge guys, the extent of the crisis is many order of magnitude greater than what has heretofore been reported by any organizations around the world. This story for some reason has...

I guess this is the billioaire that flytiger alluded to a week or so ago. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&sid=aUtjE4_bm4oM&refer=home

Thanks for posting this. This is the part that should be paid attention to, the fact that this is not being widely reported has to be because papers have been asked not to dramatize the issue and is probably why the article was changed. It happends a lot in Europe. Doesn't anyone find it...

If that figure is right we are in for a seismic shift in the world order. It has to be a mistake, even if it was USD it would have to be a mistake. More importantly begs the question of what is really on the books of US banks? If this is true a crash of epic proportions is imminent, load up on...

Part of the strategy will likely include making sure that the GOP can be blamed for not giving Obama free reign and allowing the crisis to deepen, allowing the Dems to pick up the extra votes in the senate needed for the big changes they want to make in the second half of Obama's 1st term. If I...

I agree, long term India looks very attractive once it starts to base, still early though. If things deteriorate with the AfPak region as seems likely with the Taliban taking over Swat valley, India will get a lot of US investment, also as a counterweight to China...

Next stop 6000.

1. Jobs are the stop loss that is needed. 2.The stimulus will create few and very expensive jobs but Obama will not be blamed because when no jobs are created he can just claim that 4M were saved from losing their jobs. Again, the stimulus will be hailed as a success even if NOT ONE NEW job is...

Good point,I lumped them in with the financial types who had contributed to his campaign. At this point all these IBs are hedge funds to me given the speculative risks they were taking.

Dodd started talking about this possibility on Feb 5th and the market was up nicely that day and the next. I assume that Dodd's current puppet masters are the same people who contributed so heavily to his Presidential campaign, all the CT hedge fund guys. What I don't know is if they were trying...

You better believe that Dodd will do everything he can to make it so. His backers are are desperate that it be so.

Well if the federal government is going to "guide" treatment I hope they will also exempt providers from malpractice if they adhere to the treatment protocol, otherwise it will end up putting providers between a rock and a hard place or an unfunded mandate of sorts, or a nice layup for the...

As the day goes on he is looking more competent even though he hasn't expanded much on his plan, certainly having a long day.
