  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
    Does anyone want a bailout of Hedge funds? Totally unregulated - you know why. So they can all be bankrupt; but will find out at a pro forma mark to market once a year maybe. Hedge can cleverly unload and toxic holdings such as mortgage backed bonds etc. to another more open firm, which then can unload such holdings to the gov, which are marked to market once a year maybe.

Also introduce dual currencies, such as eurodollar for currency and accounting. Not so different from American firms in the City in London? Hence competition, wherein we trust the stability of eurodollar more than what the politicians have done to our and of as currency and accounting.

We must have less government spending, in order to restore confidence in our currency and bonds, for a debtor nation. Nice work House.

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News
    From above:
    Hedge fund hemorrhage. The $2T global hedge fund industry will shrink sharply as leverage becomes scarcer and more expensive, the world's largest hedge fund allocator says. 33-40% of funds may go dry, with arbitrage funds - which rely heavily on leverage - hardest hit. "I would not be surprised if, 12-18 months down the line, the $2T had become $1.5T," Christophe Bernard says. "There are too many weak players." 350 funds shuttered in H1, vs. 563 in all of 2007. "Darwinism is survival of the most adaptable. Those that can change to meet the current circumstances will do well and those that can't will go to the wall."
    course every one gets a markup, accept for us. Just say know to bailing out hedge funds and their associates. Also long term consider dual currencies like in Europe; that is, eurodollar as well as greenback Does anyone want a bailout of Hedge funds? Totally unregulated - you know why.

  • The Bailout to End All Bailouts
    The mother of all bailouts? Just say NO to more government debt; already we are currently at 15 trillion. That is 750 billion per year @ 5% yield. Of course Fannie and Freddie have some revenues, one would assume. Other countries are voting down our currency and actually have been buying fewer bonds, which increases yield and hence interest rates in the long run. We are paying a 30% premium for gasoline because of a weak currency. We are a debtor nation, and the world creditors are getting tired of us spending too much.The private sector is spending less, because of energy prices and the housing slump in general. There is hope. Americans are overwhelming against any Wall street bail out. We are counting on the House of Rep to hold the line.
