    It's also interesting that RBS and Barclays have riased substantially more new capital than the amount of assets they have written down. Does this mean they were just greatly under-capitalized before, or that there's a lot more write-offs on the way. Reply

    Global Subprime Fallout From Lehman, Fannie/Freddie [Housing Tracker] [view article]
    Aside from a few added(?) notes (could we play this without some of those extra CDO tranches maybe?) I think this piece should get recorded... Reply

    MONEY FOR NOTHING--RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE BACKED SECURITIES
    (to the Melody of Money for Nothing by Dire Straits)


    I want my, I want my Blackberry
    I want my, I want my Blackberry

    [Chorus]
    We gotta securitize more subprime products
    Custom derivatives--OTC
    We gotta move these toxic tranches
    We gotta screw Moody's, S&P

    See the little faggot in the pinstripes and suspenders
    Yeah buddy that ain't his own hair
    That little faggot got his own jet airplane
    That little faggot hes a Billionaire

    [Chorus]
    We gotta securitize more subprime products
    Custom derivative origination fees
    We gotta move these toxic tranches
    We gotta screw those GSEs

    I shoulda learned about structured products
    I shoulda learned to be a quant
    Look at that mama, she got it stickin in the squawk box
    Man we could have some fun
    And hes up there, whats that? hawaiian noises?
    Hes bangin on the bongoes like Ben Bernanke
    That aint workin thats the way you do it
    Get your money for nothin-- asset backed securities

    [Chorus]
    We gotta securitize more subprime products
    Custom derivatives---S.P.I.V....
    We gotta move these toxic tranches
    We gotta screw the monos and AIG,

    Listen here, that aint workin thats the way you do it
    Shoveling CDOs on CNBC
    That aint workin thats the way you do it
    Money for nothin--asset backed securities
    Money for nothin--asset backed securities

    I want my, I want my blackberry
    I want my, I want my blackberry

    I own a few ETN's AGA DZZ DRR and I am only doing it because there are no ETF's in that sector to buy. I was hoping Proshares would have found their nich in the areas where I can only buy ETN's. Reply

    Two fin companies not on your list, BBT and BRK. Smart investors soar with the eagles and avoid being the road kill. Sounds like HSBC will soon be spotted on the highway. Reply

    I'm so relieved the FED policy was to attack priority #1 INFLATION!!!!!!!!!
    Where did Bernanke get his education on priorities and proactive policy decisions -- FEMA?????
    When is the last policy decision our government made that was proactive and successful????????

    How Would Lehman's Liquidation Affect Its Top Holdings? [view article]
    The primary genesis of the current financial meltdown is subprime lending. Subprime lending was driven by Congress and acquiesced to by the administration. Both major political parties are culpable -- probably the Democrats more than the Republicans because their natural tendency is toward "government doing more."

    Surely, it is clear by now to anyone who can think rationally that the government is the problem. More government will create more problems.     Reply

    Thank god we have Bernanke and Paulson at a moment when we need experience, flexibility, creativity, and strength - politically savy technicians. Over the next month, there will be a real battle between those who think that free markets (with a revised regulatory structure) are the solution and those who think that the government can and should protect the public from Wall Street.

    I don't understand what Bush did? Was he the one in charge of banking regulation? Did he force you to take out an ARM mortgage? Washe in charge of the SEC?
    You gotta put up some facts.     Reply

    Too bad the Democrats spent all their time beating up on George Bush instead of Legislating and they now expect to be the party of choice for America. Think again. Reply
