    • What's Wrong with the AIG Bailout Model? [view article]
      Please explain to me why it is to the benefit of the federal government that shareholder be severely punished for being shareholders in AIG?

      "Still, I think it's a lot better than silently and opaquely recapitalizing firms without replacing management or forcing at least shareholders to take a hit."

      A 80% hit and a payday loan at that!

      I think Paulson has some unresolve feels regarding AIG to set it up as he did; while Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs got the sweetest deal by the Fed turn it into a bank holding company! Where is the "hit" to those shareholders?

    • JPMorgan's Actions Indicate Bear Was a Bargain [view article]
      I glad you think it such a steal! The JPM stock has fallen after the testimony. It reach a high of $47 and change and now it is at $45 and change. I don't know if it is because of arbitrage or what! But it not going up and the percentage of short sellers is also up.

      I just wonder if JPM made a good purchase after all; since the stock price doe not reflect this at all!

      Does anyone know why this stock did not go up when JPM finally got 49.4% of the Bear Stern shares or is the market waiting for it to close and then JPM will be in the upswing?

      Thanks.

There is an article by an associate of yours that has a somewhat negative view of Mr. Schwarzman, shown below:
