Treasury Accepts Lowball Price for TARP Warrants

Dear ditto,

And exactly why should the banks that neither wanted nor needed govt. money be required to "open their books" to these bungling power grabbers?

In what world is it justified for the govt. to come in uninvited to dictate terms to private companies, thus robbing shareholders of value?

For those REQUESTING help, certainly the govt. has a right to know the details. But for those resisting gov.t "help", like Wells, GS, State Street, etc., they have no right whatsoever.

Adding to Capital One Financial Short Position: Gotta Love the Stress Test

Not clear from this why you are short, and continue to short, this stock, other than because "the system" is all screwed up. The little substance you do provide - regulators seem to be on their side, recent stock performance - suggest it's a better long.

You would do much better, I think, shorting some of the past 6 month's winners that are now pretty tired and are not participating in this rally.
