I hate when the news gets in the way of the market. Its like every day is a fed day. this is annoying. get the fuck out of the way already.

but aren't the cds's very valuable right now but with the auction system you mentioned they wont get the value they should out of the cds's. cds's trade in inverse to the credit there derived from correct?

so the cds holders are taking a hit also? its gotta be better than bankrupting the whole system, although I don't blame the cds holders.

I think the main problem with the cds's is that they we created in excess of the debts they were derived from. maybe they could find some way to get the cds's and the debt in a 1 to 1 ratio. the current cds's are like naked shorts. maybe some sort of compensation plan to those that own the cds's...

lawsuits... not to mention how could the govt just proclaim rich corporations no longer need to honor the debt derivatives they themselves created and got themselves in trouble with. the fallout would be huge..

the problem is the fdic prints money to cover that 100k insurance. if there was a run on the banks get ready for hyper inflation.

so why is everyone saying the 700bil is not enough?

but all the mortgages wont go into default which won't hold the the govt responsible for the whole 65 trillion in derivatives out there.

could you imagine the massive lawsuits the gov't would receive if they did that thou. so the govt plans to eat the cds losses? So why are so many people saying the govt is gonna profit from this bailout?

I've been hearing about the 35 trillion in derivatives out there and how this bill won't dent the trillions needed in derivatives. but if they save the credit markets won't those derivatives debt be saved also? aren't they protecting the mortgages that the derivatives are based on so wouldn't...

Are they democratic media or just media that says things you dont wanna believe? its no question that the times and msnbc are biased left media but the most of the major media is pretty down the middle in my opinion. its amazing the low tolerance americans have for things they dont wanna...

CDS's played just as much of a role in this crisis as the real estate market. I bet we could have handled the real estate market crashing but when you included CDS's and bundled CDO's it became to intertwined.

Yea that answers my question. I just didn't realize so many institutions were involved in underwritting because most of the deals I read about involved the major investment banks so I guess I assumed on some level it was an I-bank function instead of just a bank function.. And I guess its...

oh damn, didn't even think of that.... So there's really nothing about stock offering that's only native to investment banks?

How will companies issue stocks to the public? Will this change the whole offering process? I guess no more big commissions for the I-banks issues stocks. Maybe the government will issue stock now...

would Colon Powell have had the same effect? I doubt it. al sharpton has never even won a primary race. jesse jackson won SC but thats about it. theres no doubt that blacks are excited about having a black candidate but to say thats the only factor is probably just anger on your part...

I've never used a bloomberg but am very curious as to what all it offers. I'm pretty much a technical trader but I do monitor fundamentals and i love having data. what are some of the priceless pieces of info you get from a bloomberg? Do you get a feed on any market such as the cds or cdo...

how are you gonna buy if noone sells? but anyway, I'm done. Its obvious your either not serious or a complete clown..

how is seeing a stock that is going down and taking advantage of it "banging" it? if you see a stock going up do you not take advantage? maybe these companies should go private if they don't want to be subject to the market.

maybe fundamentals don't really matter and markets move based on abstract market fundamentals and probably price and volume trends..
