  • Mark-to-Market Marches Towards Extinction [View article]
    M2M should be required EXCEPT when a liquid market (no matter how irrational) is not available. The judgment of whether a market is liquid then becomes the issue -- for banks, I would leave that to bank regulators to determine. For non-regulated industries, leave to the asset holder and its auditors.

    And in any case, all non-M2M assets should be clearly flagged on the balance sheet for all to assess.

    It certainly can't be restrictions on executive pay bonuses.

    at .86 shares of BAC per MER (BAC at $27, MER @ $19) isn't it a no brainer to buy MER calls and BAC puts?
