  • The Fed is reportedly scrutinizing the biggest banks to ensure they have enough capital to withstand a sudden reversal in asset prices. Supervisors want to know what banks know about the strength of their counterparties, and whether risk managers have any say in bank policies.  [View news story]
    Are they getting worried that the CNBC green shoots are really mold forming.

  • Platinum/Palladium [View instapost]
    Palladium hit low of 357 this morning. My stop is 355. Suspect it goes this week.

    Fear factor is high. Strength in dollar and treasuries showing up.

    PM buying opportunity might be coming.

    "Barney Frank of Massachusetts insists that these mortgages are needed to “keep prices from falling too fast.”

    Barney knows the prices are going down, he just wants it to not fall so fast.

  • A Rough Day at the Office for Tim Geithner [View article]
    John Galt nailed it.

    I would however, enjoy seeing our tyrants go at each other and think it would be a lot more interesting if we gave them swords next time.

    If their corruption is sending us the way of the Romans we should send them the way of the gladiators.

    Circus and bread for everyone.

    Obviously if it is sitting in warehouses there isn't much demand for it.

    Just demand for storage.

  • Bob Toll: 'Yesterday's Sub-Prime Is Today's FHA' [View article]
    Mark I believe that the new banking regulations are a smoke screen to do nothing. We will see one amendment after another and numerous bill after bill in order to slow the process down as much as possible.

    The present system at work with the big banks trying real hard to keep status quo for as long as possible. GS just attempted to get some good will in the news to quell the public anger and give the politicians another thing to dwell on.

    Nothing changed in Washington or Wall street. I agree why not just go back to what we had. They are not talking about that because that could be done over night. To fast and simple. That is not what they want.

    Status quo, I expect to remain as long as they can hold the door closed on the angry mob outside.

  • Obama's Fears of a Double Dip Recession Are Nonsense [View article]
    One has to question why he made this statement just after coming back from China. Maybe they are ready to sell their bonds and treasuries, collapse the dollar and we get a double dip recession, full blown depression and/or total collapse of the dollar without all the technical issues you just went through.

    Or not.
