"Collateralized Debt Obligations-CDOs- Lost 95% Value" - (USA)
"Just how much should a debt vehicle backed by subprime mortgage bonds be worth these days? Two years ago, most banks and insurance companies assumed the answer was close to 100 per cent of face value – or more. Since then, however, that “price” has clearly collapsed, triggering tens of billions of dollars worth of writedowns, particularly in relation to a product known as collateralised debt obligations of asset-backed securities (CDO of ABS.) But as the zeroes relating to writedowns multiply,

Dreams Unwind... Love's estate of mind... - (USA)
With an apology for continuing in the same vein about Marilyn, love and loss, I stumbled back in to the stone Temple to see the Goddess Wiki last week, and found out something I did not know about Marilyn, but which is another sad reflection, perhaps on human behaviour and avarice... By the way, you might find it interesting to note that, in some lights, La Wiki looks a little like Marilyn, likewise Marilyn did a pretty good job of looking like a goddess! Here it is...

Reader Mail #62 - (USA)
I liked this thread on the Mental Militia. Heller (from Heller vs. DC) applied for a gun permit. His application was rejected. That is really weird, since the Supreme Court specifically ordered that he be granted a gun permit. He didn't bring his gun with him when he applied for the permit, lest he be arrested for illegal possession of a gun. His gun would have been confiscated. There was an interesting comment. Not that it matters much, the US blue screened a while ago, and now the whole sys

Skewering the Geithner plan - (USA)
Yves Smith, writing for Naked Capitalism, finds several flaws with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s plan to prod investors into buying troubled assets from banks. Smith critiques details leaked in a New York Times article. The Times says one part of Geithner’s three-point plan is to have the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation “set up special-purpose investment partnerships and lend about 85 percent of the money that those partnerships will need to buy up troubled assets that banks

This supports our observation that the credit default market has become more mainstream, focusing on the liquid standard contracts. We believe that this growth in CDS has been driven by hedging demand generated by synthetic CDO positions, and by hedge funds using credit derivatives as a way to exploit capital structure arbitrage opportunities and to go outright short the credit markets. The base of credit derivatives users has been broadening steadily over the last few years. We show a breakdo

Andrew Dice Clay, Dennise Rodman among the "celebrities" on Trump's next Apprentice - (USA)
One thing NBC programming chief Ben Silverman managed to get right last year was a reinvention of NBC's Donald Trump-led reality show the Apprentice as a showcase for B-list celebrities. So Trump-haters everywhere will be glad to see the network may have even found a way to screw that up in 2009, drafting a field of new Celebrity Apprentice contestants which haven't seen the B-list in a while.

U.S. Government Move Will Push Russia and China Toward Economic Matrimony - (USA)
by James West March 20, 2009 So its happened at last. All pretense of sanity has been summarily discarded in favor of the perpetual feedback loop. The Fed is now purchasing its own currency, kiting checks to itself in a flagrant display of Orwellian-esque doublespeak. The fact that bond traders and mainstream financial commentators hail the development demonstrates the depth of ignorance and/or beguilement prevalent in the collective economic imagination.
