  • Take a Stand Against Government Spending
    A stimulus package CANNOT stimulate the economy. Just look at the GDP composition by sector and you will come clearly to the same realization:
    20% share of healthcare that is funded by employees of all other industries;
    20% financial services;
    17% industry;
    There are big non productive pockets that cannot be stimulated in any way: they live off the ability to borrow from abroad. So forget about JM Keynes and government spending as the way out.

  • The Next Crisis Is on the Horizon
    to whom should banks lend to? the deadbeats on the line after the ones that comprise the sub-prime sector? should we all them sub-sub-prime? or maybe soon-to-be-sub-prime?

    how can banks lend when warned to tighten lending standards and loosen up credit at the same time?

    would you lend cash to your poor neighbor with big mortgage and car leases who just lost his job?

  • Rescue Funds Fueling Buyout Deals Instead of Loan Increases
    imprudent lending to homeowners and trickery in the resale of those loans is what got banks in trouble. would now more reckless lending in the face of a slowing economy help?
    if i were at the treasury i would impose this rule as well: all executive compensation should be capped at the government employee ceiling. all ordinary employees bonuses should be paid out enirely in stock to further recapitalize the banks.

  • Coming Soon: The $600 Trillion Derivatives Emergency Meeting
    consider_this,
    banks have prucedures in place to manage interest rate risk: for example daily exposure should be such that 1pip change in interest levels of another currency should not impact the company's positions by more than 100k. for different currencies the limits are varying.
    i have seen pretty nasty grillings of prop traders who have gone slightly over the risk levels for the entire book.
