JNK yields 13.16% annually. I will pocket the 8.6% over the tarp interest rate and do no work.

Meaning the risk of loss has increased, but only if markets decline from current levels and stay there. http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents/post/24404?source=feed#comment-508272 508272

New York Fed Chairman Stephen Friedman resigns, effective immediately, although NY Fed's general counsel says Friedman's Goldman Sachs (GS) stock purchases didn't violate any rules.

Which puzzles Mike Shedlock. "To not let a well capitalized company like Berkshire Hathaway acquire a bank when banks are clearly struggling to raise more capital makes no sense." http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents/post/23350?source=feed#comment-489231 489231 Mon, 04 May 2009 16:07:02 -0400 Solar Industry's Long Term Outlook http://seekingalpha.com/article/134487-solar-industry-s-long-term-outlook?source=feed#comment-485988 485988 tinyurl.com/d4z54r]]> Fri, 01 May 2009 15:01:21 -0400 tinyurl.com/d4z54r]]> The Wisdom of Half Positions http://seekingalpha.com/article/131980-the-wisdom-of-half-positions?source=feed#comment-471596 471596 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:04:30 -0400 Rough day for homebuilder Lennar (LEN). Shares fell 18.6% after it disclosed it's being sued over China-manufactured drywall it used in 2005-2006 which may emit various sulfur-based gases. LEN also filed to sell up to $275M in shares to increase working capital and repay debt. http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents/post/22101?source=feed#comment-470647 470647
