My guess is LIBOR rates are more closely related to the disappearance of the non bank lending - investment banks, the drop in the size of the CP market or maybe money market mutual funds pull back from very short term corporates.]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:10:34 -0400

Isn’t the Treasury Direct programming a way for retail investors to purchase Treasuries?

Require all derivative products to trade thru a central exchange after a product has reached a certain size. For instance say $100 billion in notional size would have bought the CDS under supervision in 1998-1999. (When this was first discussed but various federal agencies couldn’t decide who should do it.)
