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.…"

Rudy, I don't think I'm being too socialist because I'm not suggesting forced profit sharing with the government any more…"
John Stoj commented on Rudy Orman's blog post The Goldman Sachs Witch Hunt"I agree with you for the most part Rudy. As a (former?) institutional structured finance bond investor it was my responsibility to ID the risks and make investment decisions. Did I buy some "bad" bonds on behalf of my investors (the…"

John Stoj's blog post was featuredAnd 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.

Gary Schurman commented on John Stoj's blog post Anyone else read this headline and think it's a bit of a problem?"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?

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?
