CIT Group to Move on After Peek

May CIT be revitalized by the potential of the recycling of TARP Funding?

" ...Far from being out of ammunition, the government still has about 75 percent of the $787 billion Congress appropriated to spend during the next two years." -- Slate.com

Hopefully that the government will recycle the returned TARP funding towards revitalization of the securitization market and muni bond insurers like ABK and MBI, and perhaps also other second tiered financial institutions like Etrade and the CIT Financial Group.

FDIC Guarantee: More Toxic Than the Target Itself

>most important of all is the fact that, in its present form, an FDIC guarantee will create more problems than it is targeted to solve. Primarily, the FDIC-backed paper will not be "fully, irrevocably and unconditionally" guaranteed by the US government. Rather, the Interim Rule refers to repayments conditioned by the domestic bankruptcy process, with no specific timing parameters. (The Comment Period on the Interim Rule expired on Thursday.)


To relieve the pressure on the FDIC in regard to its FDIC-backed paper, what the government needs to do is first to restore the credit-rating of the insurers in the private sector -- especially the monoliners.
