    FAS 157: Blackstone and Its Banker Buddies Have It Wrong [view article]
    mikeg3 is exactly right. The owners of these securities are not willing to sell them because the bid and ask are too far apart.

    Most of these are performing, and the market prices mostly refelect "forced or distressed" sales because of the companies selling them lack liquidity.

    Companies with strong capital and strong liquidity can hold them until times are better....and there will be better times.     Reply

    Bernanke speech today"

    ".......Important... a well-designed supervisory regime complements rather than supplants market discipline. Indeed, regulation can serve to strengthen market discipline, for example, by mandating a transparent disclosure regime for financial firms."

    Could Bernanke's speech today be the catalyst for a "game changer", i.e. a big plus for CME?     Reply

    The real story is that GD has $2.7B cash on hand. As per last quarter results, profits are up 25%. Current acquisition is a hedge against any reversal in the strong Gulfstream sales that is now entering its sixth year.

    This is a logical move; providing services to all the aircraft GD sold over the past years. Also, enables GD to establish contact with owners of competitors aircraft. Crafty indeed!

    Are you missing the story of the day? Appears that the roll over in equities has started for the autumn season, and that inflation will drive gold and silver to new highs. Dare we think that the US dollar is about to turn again? I think so since the Fed can not fight inflation with ending the chances of just a "slow down". The great story is the Silence of the Fed in the face of clear commodity driven inflation. They are powerless, or they have lost control!! Reply

    There is nothing out there to support the proposition that inflation is subsiding or under control, and everything to assure the opposite. The current strengthening of the dollar is clearly a blip that will quickly fade away. Wish it were otherwise, but wishing won't make it so. Reply

    re NBC's viewership, 2 billion was tossed around (presumably for the world); still, 34+ million seems such a modest figure. Reply

    Blackstone Now Bullish on Subprime? [view article]
    Sub-prime debt may have become very attractive. It is now selling literally 15 cents on the dollar. For a small investor, a closed end fund which has invested in sub-prime asset may be attractive. Example is RMK Advantage fund - RMA. It pays an attractive monthly dividend has the potential to double or triple as sub-prime markets recover. Reply

    Blackstone Now Bullish on Subprime? [view article]
    One thing not mentioned here that is the main jist of the reasons for purchasing-these are distressed asset funds, everyone is doing it including big players like Goldman Sachs. Why? They are buying the assets for pennies on the dollar. Anywhere from 4cents on HELOCS -20-30 cents on the dollar for non performing loans and REO'S - and then ENFORCING THEM AGAINST THE BORROWER FOR 100 CENTS on the Dollar. Once again the WALL STREET CRIMINALS prosper at everyone elses expense. So New Century, Aegis, American Home, Merrill Lynch and many others, at the same time they REFUSE to modify loans and refuse to work with borrowers, sell off the same loans to "friends" and former financing partners`. In some cases it is the executives who created the crap forming LLC's to buy up the same crap. The investors on the front end got screwed, but the execs know how to turn their lemons into lemonade! So it has nothing to do with being bullish or bearish
    (maybe BULLSHIT) it has everything to do with simple math. At pennies on the dolllar they see a profit no matter what they buy.     Reply
