Grrrr....I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

It is up slightly because investors were pricing in a supposed cut by the fed in rates. That didn't happen despite futures contracts predicting a 90% chance that it would. Some of the less volatile money is moving back out of treasuries due to this underpricing. The movement will probably be minor as the overall trend for the last week has been bad news.Originally posted by Colonâ„¢

I'm deeply disappointed about this possible bridge loan for AIG. If nothing else, the common should be owned by the gov't and the debt-holders and counterparties should take a haircut. They should make it so disandvantageous that nobody looks for Uncle Sam's help in the future.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Under the plan, the authorities would receive equity warrants giving them a 79.9 per cent stake in AIG. In returrn, the insurer would receive a bridge loan of $85bn to keep it afloat until it could dispose of billions of dollars in assets..DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

Perhaps Barney Frank's idea ought to be considered seriously. The government's approach is awfully haphazard at the moment.Last edited by Colonâ„¢; September 16, 2008, 21:48.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

well Paulson must have hated Lehmann while he was CEO of Goldman... everyone else (of similar size) bailed out so far...

I just now got home from work. I'm being "cloned" and working on two projects at once for the rest of the week...my usual dev project, and "emergency assistance" to help Lehman with massive bulk unwinds.
I'm somewhere between "**** you, Lehman" and "yay, extra cash" right now...
Little known fact: Lehman has a very robust unwinds software engine that just went live last year, thanks to yours truly. It's grinding through tens of thousands of deal per day now worth billions of dollars.

Fvck this. Why are AIG's shareholders being bailed out?

Well, LIBOR + 8.5% for a senior secured loan, with warrants, is rather handsome for the treasury...Last edited by DanS; September 17, 2008, 06:39.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
