TARP: The World's Largest Sovereign Wealth Fund

IF, MARK, THESE INVESTMENTS THE GOVERNMENT HAS PURCHASED ARE SO VALUABLE, THEN WHY DID THE BANKS SELL THEM ? ? ? IN REALITY, AS PROPERTY VALUES ARE EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT DECLINES AND FORECLOSURES ARE ON THE INCREASE, THESE "INVESTMENTS" WILL TEND TO LOSE VALUE.

AS FOR BANK STOCK POSITIONS PURCHASED, WHEN OUR MAJOR BANKS' POSITIONS IN OTHER DERIVATIVES, ON AND OFF THE BALANCE SHEETS, TEND TO SOUR, WHAT THEN WILL BE THE VALUES WHICH APPEAR ON THE FED BALANCE SHEET ?
