The steep yield curve and lack of lending (hording cash) definitely helping the banks (healthier ones). They need to start lending, but you can't lend to someone who has no down payment or no job. Lending is one leg of the stool, without jobs, job s…

Agreed the market was too heady and controls need to be put in place, I hate the pendulum anology, but the pendulum swung too far from the center, so watch out because it's coming back at 120 mph, could cut off your head....or made cut off liquidty.…

CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS... OH BOY!: Credit-default swaps - they're supposed to provide insurance for losses on securities in the event of default. The operative words, of course, are “supposed to.” In recent years, swap contracts have entered into dan…

Maybe I am missing out on the central theme of how GS could possible be responsible for engineering a financial crisis when we try to guess which particular asset, real or financial, would be the space/center where the crisis would grow. The propert…

A couple of additional thoughts: (This has been a nice, friendly discussion - unlike many internet threads) Rudy, I don't think I'm being too socialist because I'm not suggesting forced profit sharing with the government any more than my old asset…

Hey John, that 2 and 20 fee model is absolutely brilliant. What a terrific way to communicate to the Street. GS would never balk at charging a client using the same calculus. KKR doesn't blink when it fires CEOs and reshuffles boards of directors. A…

Rudy, I almost forgot: Almost 70 trillion in combined world GDP and according to the Bank for International Settlements [BIS], the global Over the Counter [OTC] derivatives market has grown almost 65% from $414.8 trillion in December, 2006 to $683.…

Rudy, You sound like a nice guy; in the movie Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein created a monster (bubble) from human body parts. In my opinion the one thing he did not factor in was a contingency plan in the event the monster (bubble) came back to de…

Hey Mick: I don't need Rolling Stone to know that the Gov't has a lot GS people of influence at the Government, better to hire GS employees than General Motors employees. As far as 100 cents on the dollar from AIG, if your house catches fire or your…

You guys are amazing in that you're both right and wrong at the same time. (ala George Soros, "reflexivity") GS is a monster with an inside track. Now, don't get me wrong...everyone should be aloud the inside track of course! The control and influen…

You guys should read the recent article on GS in Rolling Stone, the reason they support the government is because many of the alumni are working in government and they scratch each others back. GS will pay the 15 bps because they know they will be t…

I think that the bonus controversy is about much more than TARP. All of the money center banks and every broker-dealer engaged in trading securities benefit from stealth recapitalization in the form of 0% interest rates, quantitative easing and TLGP…

The Goldman Sachs Witch Hunt

Yesterday I watched Phil Angelides grill Mr. Blankfein. Phil is a liberal democrat, no problem with that, differences makes the world go round. What hit me yesterday watching Mr. Blankfein getting grilled by the Democrats, was when I worked at GS, I was shocked at how many of my colleagues supported Obama and the Dem's. I never understood why any capitalist market makers would get behind the Democratic ideology , but many did, and now Lloyd gets to hang out with Phil.

During my tenure at GS, we… Continue

MBA Conference Notes on FHA Programs, Private-Label Securitizations, Loan-Mods, and More

Random observations / thoughts:

> Over 50% of all mortgages being originated are through the FHA programs, concern as that product matures (and defaults may rise), the Gov't will pull back which is a risk to the industry.

> Still much "bitching" about lack of warehouse financing, yet there were several warehouse lenders attending, looking for business. Agree there are only a few warehouse players out there, and that creates risk, another problem is the "lenders" who need the leverage don… Continue
