"What are you getting at? You begin by stating house prices are expected to slide and unemployment is expected to rise further, resulting (I am guessing) in a "third" foreclosure wave. Who is it that is expecting this? House prices seem to…"

John Stoj commented on Rudy Orman's blog post Senators aren't that dumb, or are they?
"You were doing OK until you started mentioning health care, etc. The Goldman question is a fascinating one, and as a former(?) institutional money manager and CDO manager, I am conflicted over the case. Either way, it's really worth discussing.…"

Let's continue to confuse the issue (aka, bankers are evil)

I'm going to post my letter to the NYTimes editors in response to their editorial on financial institutions "betting against" their clients. Let's see whether they publish my, or any other, dissenting opinion.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/29/opinion/29tue2.htmlTo the Editors:I must take umbrage at your recent editorial commenting on financial…See More

And the Shell Game Continues...

Anyone who thinks that the recent news of Citi and Wells repaying their TARP funds is winding down the government bailout of our financial sector should read this article. Just as one of the reasons Goldman prospered is that we (the taxpayer) paid them $13 billion, many of the big banks which are paying the government back are doing it with the government's own money. The shell game continues...…See More

"How can you blame the government for cheap money? Are interest rates immune from the forces of supply and demand? In a recession no one wants to invest. Less demand for borrowings gives us lower interest rates."

Bank Regulation - Why such pushback?

Posted on October 10, 2009 at 6:30am 2 Comments

The NYT has what I think is an excellent article questioning why bank lobbyists continue to oppose regulation that looks to be quite reasonable (linked above). Now, I'm not a banker, just an (ex?) institutional investor and evil Wall Street guy, so the questions posed in the article make a lot of sense to me. What about the bankers out there?

Maybe it's finally time to leave Citi alone and concentrate on the "real" problems...
