Both Babblevision and Blabberg are putting these Davos suits on TV endlessly. Hello ... they are part of the problem, not the solution.
European markets are up solidly and US futures are strong, reportedly on talk that Obama is closer to creating a huge "bad bank" to take crappy assets off the banks books. Good, if they can work it out.
I have early tasks to do before the snowstorm here, hence a very short post.
Word of the Day
"Bete noire" - noun [$10]; French term absorbed into English; from the card file.
Bete noire means a person or thing strongly detested or avoided.
Sentence: One does not have to be perspicacious to recognize that Bunkerman's bete noire is the beefer - the big evil fund, whether it's a hedge fund or a very active money manager.
Literally, in French, "bête noire" means "black beast"; the idiom means one's pet hate or pet peeve.
XLF...thanks jim!!!!!!

ReplyDeletenonono Bud like pulling boyfriends plug, what are we selling...just to be clear.
Mern the Fed day playbook guru...where are you...your time to shine indeed.
ReplyDeleteIf the real buyers are like this one, viz, moi, they bought those recent dips, like JPM at 20, etc. GE at 12. etc.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably beefer sideline money chasing.
Merns at the pool..not a care in the world....
ReplyDeletecould be short covering, too, on fear that Obama might perform.
ReplyDeleteI saw short interest was up last week.
GE is worth zero....Bill O'Reilly is going to take them down singlehandedly....for doing business with Iran...
ReplyDeletecaveat emptor
Bill O'Reilly ?
ReplyDeleteUh ... isn't Obama going to normalize relations with Iran ?
yes, right after he fixes global warming....
ReplyDeletesheesh mfl, you don't think Obama is a demi-god ?
ReplyDeleteYou need a few more hours in front of the Propaganda machine.
Strap yourself in a chair to CNN for three hours a night for aweek.
I admit I caught a rerun of Keith Olberman's show on MSNBC late last night....that was worth some laughs....it appears Obama is the second coming of Jesus....
ReplyDeleteBunkerman how bullish does this good bank/bad bank fix make you?
no change in my bullish thesis.
ReplyDeleteI'd guess the TRP puts up $200 billion equity that the Fed then leverages to a trillion. Could scoop up all the complex securities and then hold to maturity.
If Treasury owns them, they can do foreclosure reductions.
Hmmm didn't I propose something like this a few months ago ? Maybe they read this blog.
;)
Americans banks are a sham
ReplyDeletetheir income statements are a ponzi scheme
