Regulators tell banks to hold money due to economic uncertainty - FT.
Smart move, but it isn't exactly a resounding endorsement of the parade of "economists" and White House staffers who argue that the so-called green shoots are about to bloom.
The regional banks are just zombie banks now due to all the CRE going into default and they are not making loans and just buying time with the shell game the govt is doing to keep their jobs a while longer. 1/3 would already be shut down by the end of this year if the old rules were in effect.
We need a new article:
Will the February/March stock run accelerate US into bankruptcy as long bond rates increase? Further, will every options manipulation now send the US debt service into an imminent death spiral?
Screw 2012. Let's skip to the endgame RIGHT NOW.
This is a bubble of biblical proportions; the last punches thrown by a dying empire. I would expect no less.
The "bubble of Biblical" proportions you speak of will be solved with a Biblical solution.
Global day of Jubilee, I expect sometime in 2011 to occur where the countries fogive the debts of all others. In return, us taxpayers will be turned to and they will demand the pound of flesh from each of us required to make up the difference in taxes. They will demand the flesh, the blood....everything.
And the bear beatdown continues. Buy everything.
Deflationists Flip flopping!!!! Inflation is at 10% and pushing higher. Gold and silver people!!! NOW!!!!!

Surely, the Build America muni issuance could have been structured or defined better to preclude underwriting fees being what they were. But hey, I'm sure working hard for those fees was the same as working hard to underwrite wondrous private-label MBS.
so says I, and also this guy: The Wall Street fees are "surprisingly high," says Edward Prescott, a Nobel-prize winning economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and a professor at Arizona State University.
