lulz.

There's a famous quote about solvency and market rationale - when you understand it you will succeed.

They were going to be released all at once after earnings season, then it came out they might be released early. How is that being all hush over them?

The Fed has several trillion liquid right now(in existing dollars, not printable dollars which are infinite) - The US Treasury has a little more than double what the Fed has. Goldman has been netting 8-10 billion a quarter for the past 5+ years. Goldman very easily has this much.

OP needs to search more and figure out what comprises these leveraged ETFs. Everything will then become clear.

Agreed. There is a reason so many Indians want to go to school in the US. Comparing an Indian MBA to a US College MBA is just absurd. Hell, they even clamor to get into the University of Phoenix programs....

^this. Offering 5bln in common to the public in order to pay off TARP is a PR move.

Notice there are no IBs left? Goldman wasn't about to have a bullseye on it by being the ONLY IB out there. IMO, the TARP funds were pushed on large banks - a way to tell people "hey, everyone that has a market cap over 5 billion is taking TARP monies so there is nothing to worry about. The...

What are you, a commie? If you don't want to pay then don't pay: you have no right to be irked. Don't want to pay for MS Office? Then don't order the PC with it on there. Yes, you can get them w/o the license. Just use your old version.

I was in it back in 06 - same result. This thing was always shorted like a bi7ch. Good for the company.

It's because they are having another offering so the shares will be diluted. It's all in the release.

It's up to the company to decide when they are released. So they did it a day earlier then they announced they would - so the F what?

My money is also on Bernanke. I used to think he was a tool, now I think he might be one of the smartest guys in the room.... Still trust Ben and Co. more than Treasury to get things corrected in a timely fashion.

No, the problem began when Clinton said everyone has the right to own a home. Read the news around 98/99 - that's when Clinton directed fannie and freddie to lower their lending standards.

Fixed that for you. http://articles.latimes.com/1999/may/31/news/mn-42807 http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/hotproperty/archives/2008/02/clintons_drive.html

Treasury already announced they want to release the results all at once after earnings season.

Companies like GE and GM are wholly owned buy the govt and have been since WWII. Don't get lost in the dynamics of what constitutes a public company: if shit hits the fan GM is pumping out tanks and fighters within 20 days. GM is not too big to fail - they can go bankrupt and still function...

The FED creates amplitude in the market's moves. Don't think for a second the FED can dictate direction. What the FED can do, and often does, is provide a path of "least resistance" for markets to move to. +1 on Austrian. Just like good traders, the FED doesn't pick tops or bottoms, it...

Or it's the fact that there were a number of groups on the OTHER end of the decline - those that were net short mid 2008. It's about the right time for those books to begin showing up.
