Great job John. I like your stuff as it is written by someone who actually seems to know something about bank operations and what has gone so terribly wrong. ReplyCommercial Banking and Bank Failures [view article]
Zee4 I truly hope you are being facetious. Cut out the fat middleman. Open the damn window directly to the taxpayers. We can print money and pay ourselves, Zimbabwe does it. ReplyCommercial Banking and Bank Failures [view article]

With credit contracting shouldn't the fed lower interest rates to help the profitability of banks so they can start lending? ReplyCommercial Banking and Bank Failures [view article]
Banks should be forced by legislation to conduct an economic analysis on load exceeding the FDIC insurance similar to an environmental impact statement, allowing for comments by account holders on the credit policy of their bank. This would allow account holders to examine whether their bank is loaning their money to speculative risks. ReplyCommercial Banking and Bank Failures [view article]
"the overhang of the $200 billion that is the estimated cost of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac bailout currently dominates the numbers"I'd like to know where that $200 billion number came from. I've seen a lot of numbers but that is the highest. Most that are pushing a bailout say $20-$40 billion. The highest I've seen was $100 billion but that guy came back a few days later and said it wasn't needed immediately.
I don't see anything in the bailout bill that allows the government to confiscate the $53 billion in equity capital currently on the books of the GSEs, particularly when their primary regulator says the bailout talk is overdone. Reply

I guess anyone can get a bank charter from the state, particulary when the state is Florida, Nevada, or Georgia. Many of these banks were started by local developers to fund their development schemes.The states should not be allowed to charter new banks. Start ups should be required to get a national charter, Reply

Banking is a brilliant business. Get a bunch of Americans to deposit $100,000. They don't care who you are or what your qualifications might be, the money's guaranteed. Go gamble with it, paying yourself a nice salary along the way. If you win, great, more depositors. If you lose, well you earned your salary, and probably a bonus along the way.

Turns out that the ultrashort Financials ETF was clearly the way to go. Question: is it still a buy, or have financials bottomed out now? And is it worth getting more granular, for example by shorting the broker-dealers ETF or the regional banks ETF? ReplyEditors

Is this a buy or a sell? ReplyQuant Strategy Sector ETFs [view article]
Are you aware of Stock-Encyclopedia.com (etf.stock-encyclopedia.../), which has a nice listing of ETFs. They are categorized somewhat differently from this listing, though. ReplyBest ETF and CEF Absolute Lagged Correlation To the S&P 500 [view article]
I'm stupid. I need words! Do you mean that 25% of the time, the S&P500 correlates exactly to what the RXI did 21 days earlier? Do you mean that 21 days behind the RXI, the S&P500 acts the same with a 25% variance? I doubt that this is what you mean but what can it be? 25% is the BEST? Why bother. And what about the neg.%'s? Is it helpful to know that something is 'off' or at variance at a 14% rate? That still leaves 86% that isn't neccesarily exactly correlating.....I WANT to see a pattern like whatever it is I get a hint of what I THINK you could possibly mean..........but ....just what IS that?!?
Expand. Please. I'm beggin' ya!

EXCELLENT ARTICLE ON FINANCIALS ReplyETFs with the Highest Yields/Lowest P/E Ratios [view article]
BBH had total distributions of around 11 dollars in 07, that's why it's showing such a high yield. Little if any of that was probably from the underlying yields but most databases won't distinguish. Reply
