Eva, I would love to see a good rain shower. I mean one that just dumps on us....uh the smell of rain...lol.

Cutting rates is going to do nothing about bringing back products such as Alt/A and Subprime loans. The cut is going to only help those institutions right now that have "pier loans" out there that they cannot find buyers for...ie Chrysler / Cerrebus, KKR / First Data and so on. The...

Hey shouldn't T-Notes be rising now?

Here are a few tidbits from "industry experts" http://www.cnbc.com/id/20834638 Irvine123....yes oil is driven by demand thus if you cut interest rates that means the FED is trying to fuel growth. In the last 2wks oil has jumped from the mid to low 70s to over 80 dollars /...

Oil to $90 now?

I do not feel sorry for these people one bit at all. They were looking at the smallest payment possible and not the whole picture...kinda the American attitude now. However, I do have one question...it doesn't make sense that they bought the home for $235K put down $130K, and had a...

Why don't some of these subs vertically integrate? In more traditional manufacturing vertical integration is a NO NO!!! However, here it sounds like they would have alot more control over cost and then be able to really stick it to the "builder" or even buy the land out right themselves.

NanoWest / IT Guy, Back home this is what we call buying a house on contract or a version of it. It was practiced regularly in the Midwest b/c people would live in their homes until they died. At that point, and god rest their soles, so the family members were not stuck with the bill...

I would love it if it's like the L in Chicago or nicer. Mass Transit is so great b/c you can go out, have a good time, and not have to worry about getting into any trouble really...well unless you piss off the conductor.

So when do they put the dunce hat on the borrower? Before or after the docs are signed?

Optimus....but not like this they are way off their highs and with truely knowing, they will even admit this, what the true liability is on their books make it look like a prime candidate. Plus they are not very well diversified like Lehman and GS.

Wait till the off balance sheet items are exposed for all the major banks...YIKES!!!! Bear Sterns is in the middle of the rumor mill of being bought out in the next 18 months.

disregard the last post. I got it now....thanks guys.

Ok so lately then everyone that has been "utilizing" this trading platform has just been roling investments back into US Securities. However, since the USD is loosing value they are going to reanalyze their portfolio b/c now the carry-trade is going to get them in the dairy-aire?

So how do you borrow currency? What kind of assets do you put up?

Effen.....ok so you trade USD for YEN, then go buy US Backed Bonds with short maturities yielding 3.75% or whatever the rate is, when the Bonds are due you collect your yield, and then trade back into USD b/c the dollar has lost more value compared to the YEN?

still doesn't make that much sense to me...anyone process map this for me, sorry I am a graphical person.

Effen....gracias
