  • What Are Brokers' Exposures to Carlyle Capital? [View article]
    JbMaria,

    Long gone, I actually made a miniscule profit on that trade, but I saw the writing on the wall and jumped out in the $4.90 range. Its those pesky mortgages again. In any case, these days the long trades are just hedges and the short trades seem to be the real "investments" as it is hard to hold any long trades with any conviction.

    Barry,Mark,

    Right you are, I personally know a few people "on the verge" whose home equity lines have not quite run out. These are prime and alt-a types. Also, I think S & P limited its prediction to "supprime" but the market heard what it wanted to hear.

    What a mess.
