He has said the only reason he did the same with GS was because he was assured the government would bail them out

He never made this statement, he made an educated guess and was correct

LOL, an educated guess after numerous conversations with Hank Paulson.

Yes, he might have had some kind of indirect inside info(like reading the voice tone of a person) but he never said he was 'assured' of anything
 
Quote from m22au:

I agree with your "bigger picture" thesis from the last paragraph.

In terms of a BAC backstop - if and when BAC share price declines to $2 and goes to the government for a bailout, how would Obama (or whoever is president at the time) be able to "sell" to the general public the idea that Buffett is being made whole and not taking any hit on his preferred stock?

Obama and Geithner are finished at that point anyway and will be looking to feather their own post-administration beds. Look at what is going on in Europe with the ongoing subjugation of the masses so the bankers don't have to book a loss. Who could have thought this could happen in country after country. Yes, the politicians get voted out of office, but the policies never change.

Now you're just being a mule about it.
 
Quote from Butterball:

Bloomberg's Betty Liu seemed a little confused when she asked uber-bear David Rosenberg if the NFP report 'changed his outlook at all'

I saw that interview live. It was funny - she forgot that Rosie was one of those in the minority who saw 2011 economic weakness months before everyone else.
