And only 33,301 YouTube hits in a week. Come on Shelia, get the PR department fired up. I want Gold by the end of November.

How true! And why I spend more time here these days. No I am not a trader, nor do I invest, as 11 months of unemployment takes a toll on your savings. Fortunately we do still have some, but dwindling slowly.
I mostly take it all in here, do not comment much. Just like in real life, a quiet kinda guy.

Cbxer55,
If a poll were given here, I'd bet you'd find yourself in good company. Being of the over 50 crowd, I've been under employeed since the 2001 recession. I've several friends with the same affliction. One financial type bud is going on a year. Wish I had a sure fire suggestion for you. Keep it legal, please.
on Sat, 10/31/2009 - 15:49
#116211
Oh I'll definitely keep it legal. I have too many reasons to do so. I have had, and need to be able to get a DOD Top Secret security clearance (should the need arise). I have had a DOJ clearance as well, and wish to keep that option open as well.
Also I have a Oklahoma Concealed Weapons License, and carry a .45 every day. Its good until 2018, and I do not wish to lose it for doing something stupid.
I am 48 myself, and have pretty darn bad hearing. That is probably a contributing factor in finding a job again. No one will admit it, but I know it is so none-the-less.
Fortunately my wife has a good job, and we only have a mortgage payment, nothing else. So we'll do okay for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for all the well wishers. :-)

Now is this a trick, or a treat? Spooky!
on Sat, 10/31/2009 - 08:05
#116014
Sadly this is the treat. If I remember correctly, the act of "trick or treating" is actually extortion training for grade school age kids.
"Give me the goods or me and the gang gonna mess you up" or something along those lines. We just pretty up the whole affair with silly costumes and broad smiles as we marvel at how adorable the little monsters are. Then the little tikes grow up to become banksters and Fed chairmen.
The FDIC is essentially telling the US taxpayer to take the anal exam in steps with lubrication (the treat) or we can have it all at once in one horrific thermonuclear meltdown of epic proportions (the trick). I bet you'll never look at Halloween quite the same way again.
On a lighter note, my minds eye sees 8 year old Ben and Timmy dressed up as Tweedledum and Tweedledee from Alice in Wonderland.

Considering they have a loss-share agreement on $14.4B with the FDIC, they have nothing to worry about. It is a riskless transaction for US Bank. Watch for a stellar earnings report from them as they get a nice chunk of change from the feds for some losses.
on Fri, 10/30/2009 - 22:14
#115873
Because we all know the FDIC is good for it. Even though the DIF is broke, FDIC can borrow money from the Treasury, which is also broke, who will borrow it from the Chinese and Japanese unless they won't lend to us, in which case Ben will just print more unless QE really is over, then... ?

The one question I hear no one asking is if anyone actually believes the FDIC estimates for DIF loses? As far as I can tell, the FDIC is assuming the world will remain unchanged for the next 10 years in order for their "estimate" to pan out. What's the over/under on that actually happening? I suspect we should add a 50% fudge factor to any FDIC "estimate" of DIF expenses

Thanks TraderMark.
Lets talk about "performing". If the note is still paying interest and principle, than there is no accounting impact to a change in asset price, forestalling a write down. But, with a default or vacancy, there is no cash flow coming in.
I would think the borrowers would confront the problem rather quickly by, not paying.

Sadly we are the ultimate beneficiary of their "way" but I do know what you mean. Reminds me so much of those old Japanese Godzilla movies where Godzilla and his nemesis would battle it out in the streets of Tokyo, killing God knows how many humans in the process.
All the action was centered on the battle itself or on the buildings being destroyed and very little on the human suffering. When I mentioned this to my friends all those years ago, they would look at me like I was crazy. Momma always told me I was different (thanks mom) but from my point of view, our culture devalues human life when it doesn't belong to the rich and powerful. Worse, for the most part we all buy into this insanity.
Hollywood finally caught Godzilla mania American style with the 1998 remake, meaning bigger, badder and lots of squished people. A bit more honest in that respect, for the Japanese never did show close ups of actual human destruction, it being a little to close to reality for their sensibilities.
Frankly I can't help but see some synchronicity or even Karma in the fact that Matthew Broderick starred in both the 1983 WarGames, that lovable tale of a Pentagon computer playing its way towards world destruction (NYSE & NASDAQ co-located computers, High Frequency Trading etc) and the 1998 Godzilla about giant monsters crushing all as they pursue their own self interest (Fed, Treasury, FDIC, BIS, NSA, CIA, Goldman Sachs and other bankster friends etc).
What a wonderful tombstone epitaph for today's day and age.

I don't need no stinkin' day off bro. :>)
Actually I've learned the hard way about moderation and diversification in all things CD but thanks for thinking of me. It was nice seeing you in radiozh chat last night. I figured from your constant barrage of YouTube videos and songs linked to your posts that you were a student of the arts and I would eventually run into you at radiozh.
In fact, speaking of time off for good behaviour, you'll be pleased to learn what I did this afternoon as an afternoon delight.
No....... something else.
I fired up my Netflix.com account and video streamed the 1980 classic (and of course your ZH namesake Miles Kendig) Hopscotch with Walter Matthau. I'd told you some weeks ago I would rent it but never got around to it. I saw a post by you this morning and remembered my promise that I would view it again.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080889/
http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/Hopscotch/60023755?trkid=912834
It's been 25 years since I saw the movie so it was like visiting an old and dear friend after a long absence. That era (70's and 80's) were the prime years for Matthau and the other supporting actors/actresses. I'd completely forgot most of them were in Hopscotch, including Ned Beatty, Sam Waterston and of course Glenda Jackson, whom I had a serious crush on in the 70's.
Of course, the dialogue was hilarious, with little gems popping up left and right including an early one when Miles is in Myerson's office. Myerson takes the call from his wife and instructs her on what to watch out for when she rents the summer home.
No pets, no kids and no democrats. Classic. Or when Miles visits Isobel and is beaten at gin rummy and owes her money. The give and take in that scene ("do you like antiques") had me laughing out loud. I miss the well written well acted comedy/drama. Now-a-days special effects, while spectacular, are a poor substitute for great acting.
So when are you coming out with your memoirs? I have a large walk in closet if you need to hide out after they're published. In exchange I want a signed first edition in hard cover. I have plenty of weapons and MRE's so just bring a change of underwear and clothes appropriate for the season. Cheers.

Whats interesting is that even after all of these failures this year, the problem bank list continues to get larger. It has now crossed 500, thats 500 more banks that are likely to fail.
This list does not include banks that have already been closed. Those are removed from the list regularly.

Re: Cal National
THE current credit crisis in the financial services industry is no novelty for Greg Mitchell, chief executive of Los Angeles-based California National Bank. Back in the 1980s, Mitchell, 50, was one of the federal regulators who had to clean up the savings-and-loan mess. After spending some time in investment banking, he relocated seven years ago to Los Angeles to join Cal National, which had been created through acquisitions by Oak Park, Ill.-based FBOP Corp. starting in 1996. Under Mitchell's leadership, Cal National largely avoided the excesses of the real estate boom and ...

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz said the U.S. recession is “nowhere near” an end and the economy’s third-quarter growth rate of 3.5 percent, the first expansion in more than a year, won’t carry into 2010.
While this week’s figures on gross domestic product are “very good,” the numbers would be “miserable” without stimulus measures enacted by the Obama administration, Stiglitz said today at a forum in Shanghai. He urged the U.S. and other countries not to pull back on efforts to shore up economies.
“When we look at if workers can get jobs, if they can work full time, if businesses are able to sell goods they produce, in those terms, we are nowhere near the end of recession” in the U.S., said Stiglitz, 66, the former chief economist at the World Bank. The U.S. job market is still “in very bad shape.”

The parasite/host, the biblical math, the Obama undeifying, everything. Maybe it works for me since I have no expertise in finance but it sure rings true. Of course it scares the crap out of me too when a guy like this says, in thousands of years, he's never seen a "democratic society's government" side so clearly with finance against the literal economic survival of its citizens.
