I agree... dont forget the political aspect of it, politicians are more worry about keeping their seats in the government in the next elections, so the better the financial sector looks and the illution that the economy is getting better is of paramount importance for them right now...so they will do whatever it takes to put the financial sector on its feet..no more Lehman fall outs from now on...

Stress Test Results Seem to Be Changing Daily

'toxic assets' in name only till the oversupply in houses corrects, you correct the oversupply in housing you correct the WORLD ECONOMY, the thing that puzzles me the most if how in the world the builders are getting 300k/mo new house starts instead of getting rid off their excessive invetories? don't they realize that this is hurting their business and the world economy?

Current CMBS Pricing Is Good News for Banks (But Just Barely)

credit markets are thawing, securitized bonds markets start to show a pulse, these are leading indicators of how the future economy will look like. The problem still lies in the tremendous oversupply in the housing market, too much inventories that need to be cleared up, one of the factors contributing to this glut is the new house starts from homebuilders, they need to stop this till the market gets more balanced but it is puzzling to see how they still keep pumping houses at a rate of 300k/mo. am I missing something?

Why It's Time to Bring Back Investment Banking

Well the root is that all the heavy bets were on the real state market, once the bubble busted there was not ground to hold on to. If the real state market would have hold in balance of the REAL demand in housing then we would not be speaking about this right now. But it is interesting to see how homebuilders keep pumping 300k/mo new houses into the market, they need to come to their senses and put a moratorium on temselves (now that the government won't do it) till the houses inventories come to balance levels, am I missing something?
