Quote:Originally posted by rue: I heard a cute description of the bounce - like a dead cat bouncing when it hits the sidewalk. Also an analysis - the market was reacting to foreign markets. The analysis went on further - when the market absorbs the fact that there is still a credit freeze, and that the government has done nothing substantive to fix the problem, it will go down - again.

Quote: The Treasury is now going to buy 250 billion in preferred non-voting shares in US banks. This should provide the liquidity needed without excessive interference in the free market. The taxpayers should make good money on this deal.

Which seems to indicate that you're okay with at least "partial socialism", since those banks are now effectively at least partially nationalized.

Quote:They wanted an exemption for their brokerage units from an old regulation that limited the amount of debt they could take on. The exemption would unshackle billions of dollars held in reserve as a cushion against losses on their investments. Those funds could then flow up to the parent company, enabling it to invest in the fast-growing but opaque world of mortgage-backed securities; credit derivatives, a form of insurance for bond holders; and other exotic instruments. The five investment banks led the charge, including Goldman Sachs, which was headed by Henry M. Paulson Jr.

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: Deficit and Debt might not be the same thing, but in this case they're so intertwined as to be inseparable. We have huge deficit spending, resulting in an even more huge debt. We could cut 100% of the government's deficit spending, and we'd still be over $10 Trillion in debt, just on what we've already borrowed and pissed away. Mike
