Fed Statement
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/24/2009 17:17 -0500For immediate release
Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in April suggests that the pace of economic contraction is slowing. Conditions in financial markets have generally improved in recent months. Household spending has shown further signs of stabilizing but remains constrained by ongoing job losses, lower housing wealth, and tight credit. Businesses are cutting back on fixed investment and staffing but appear to be making progress in bringing inventory stocks into better alignment with sales.

Yesterday's Two Year Treasury Auction Is Now A Loss For Participants
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/24/2009 15:56 -0500So much for the "wildly successful" 2 Yr UST auction yesterday. If you bought in: congrats - you are now under water. Looks like the 2007 special Goldman 8x leveraged HY bond issue "flip 'em" game has now moved to front end Treasuries.

Goldman Keeps On Cheering CBL... For Now
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/24/2009 15:45 -0500Everyone's favorite Goldman REIT analyst is still not downgrading CBL to a Conviction List Sell.

From yesterday's CBL update report:
CBL: Still see long-term value amid sell-off; reiterate Buy
