All you have to do is hire a CPA to audit your performance. Then you can post an audited track record which would silence all your critics. I've worked for several partnerships that have done it in order to raise money..

Shouldn't cost too much given all the money you make...]]>

Yes.. do you really think people will let them get away with their biz model for long?

Now that the profits aren't hidden in the bank's black box there is going to be massive litigation. The lawyers smell money.]]>

Remember in March they pumped financials and comsumer names first. Then held financials and consumer discretionary flat for several weeks while they pumped energy, materials, and tech to put the broad idices up higher.

Do what works until it doesn't

Also, this is not the most shareholder friendly comp[any.

Your qualitative analysis is good but I think you need to drill down on the numbers a bit more. There is a good reason why FIG trades at this price and sports a"distressed" type dividend yield.

"At home we’re going to keep our eyes on the SOX at 500, the XLF at $34.50, the Dow at 13,900, the Nasdaq at 2,700 and the S&P at 1,530. If we can hold these levels on at least 3 of the 5 indexes, it may be time to lift up some of our covers (perhaps a 25% reduce) as this (bank confessions) was one of the major body blows we were expecting and if the markets can shrug this off, I know more than a few bears who will be throwing in the towel and say "I have no idea what’s going on."

Its easy to be right time when you don't really say anything. ]]>

Why not use the russell 2000. Lots of small banks and financials. Lots of retail names with exposure to US consumer. Small companies are more vulnerable to credit markets drying up. Plus R2K trades at much higher multiples.

I just think that you are buying puts on the least vulnerable index in the market.
