      Paulson Trying to Rewrite His Own History
      Well Paulson only has little over 6 weeks to go before he joins his friends probably in AIG!

      I don't think anyone could have predicted how bad the situation would get. I thought it would be a bad year in Jan, but this way beyond my expectations.

      Worse thing is Paulson don't understand impact of his decisions.

      The Return of the $70 per Hour Meme
      Focusing on a single number is not going to mean much, as it can't represent everything.

      I watched some of the congressional hearing yesterday and what was missing (and correctly asked) was do you have plans for the bailout money and answer was disappointing. Senior management change is really needed and this can only come about with major change.

      What will happen is similar to AIG, once in your in and money needs to keep pouring in.

      A No-Confidence Vote Among Financial Stocks
      With the government taking stake in the banks they become more like policy banks, which on the whole is not good for prudent lending. In way we are back to square one of easy credit and money which led to us the current problem.

      Couple with toxic assets which are devaluing with the worsening economy leaves very little to be positive about the financial companies.

      JPMorgan (JPM) is drawing up plans to axe thousands of jobs worldwide, on a scale comparable to recent cuts at peers Citigroup (C) and Morgan Stanley (MS) - about 10% of its workforce.
      about time since it does a really bad job of integrating its mergers /purchases

      G-20’s Done: Time to Recheck Buy Signals
      so what are you saying? emerging and first world economies are out of kilter with each other and require very different stimulation - so how does this have an effect on the buy signal? probably buy emerging markets more so then the first world markets?

      Doom and Gloom for Retail Sales, Both Online and Off
      rent will get cheaper, stock will get cheaper, wages may decrease or at least the wage bill will decrease with lay offs and margins decrease, hence it will be cheaper to buy from shops...e-commerce will need to react.

      Could AIG Kill GM's Chances for a Bailout?
      Providing cash to the auto industry only prolongs the collapse. What has AIG done to change the situation since receiving the initial $80B - consume an additional $70B and now AIG is effectively nationalized/ privatized hence can not fail.

      AIG Needs More of Your Grandkids' Money
      well, with only 3 months to keep their jobs time is running out to help their friends and get a cushy position when they leave.

      the first attempt failed and only prolonged the issues, now with the USA picking up the tap and essentially nationalizing AIG, it can't fail.

      The End of Our Banking System?
      Freedom to lend will or does not automatically increase leverage. Regulation and supervision leads to false pretense of cannot fail banks. Regulations and supervisions failed, which caused the failures in the banks.

      As a depositor or a creditor would do business with bank that is highly leveraged - answer is probably no since the risks are high. Disclosure is the key.

      Regulation meant that banks could increase their lending by using insurance against default to meet their regulatory requirements.

      Reliance on the 3 rating agencies were total. Lack of credit control and relationship management are causes of the problems.

      Proper regulations rather more or less regulation is required and full disclosure - no off the balancesheet activities should be allowed.

      The One-Word Topic of the Day, and Week: Obama
      Car makers should be nationalized or at least senior management replaced should the government bail them out. Otherwise it would be throwing good money after bad as like the TARP.

      Obama's doesn't have a magical potion up his sleeves - it may take more then 1 term of office to get out of the current mess! Then the next mess will probably spring up given US's printing presses are working 24 by 7.

      Does Obama have the strength and the will to capitalize on his popularity by implementing hard medicine, instead of giving out sweats.
