Dylan Slays 'Em Again

It just never ends folks, at least not if you vote "D" or "R"....

Months after requesting the transcripts detailing what happened inside the Fed during the financial crisis, the Dylan Ratigan Show reveals the information they received, and discuss their findings with the Huffington Post’s Ryan Grim and Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden.

What was found among what wasn't redacted (which was most of it) was a monstrous "revolving door" of Fed officials who then go on to "privileged" inside jobs at various institutions.

Of course they take their knowledge with them, which is a problem, and perhaps a very big problem, as you and I will never, ever have that sort of access.

 

More at the link.

 

Perhaps it's time to ban these officials from going to work in the banks for say 10 years?

You've Been Had AGAIN (Obama / Mtg. Fraud)

We need to toss this clown out of office, and impeachment is the legal way, so let's get to it.

Three months ago, in his State of the Union speech, President Obama announced a new task force to investigate mortgage fraud
and bring some measure of relief to the 12 million American families who are either losing their homes or in danger of losing them.

The new Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group would be co-chaired by New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, U.S. Attorney John Walsh of Colorado and three Washington insiders from the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Obama said, “
This new unit will hold accountable those who broke the law
, speed assistance to homeowners and help turn the page on an era of recklessness that hurt so many Americans.”

So what has happened?

Tuesday, calls to the Justice Department’s switchboard requesting to be connected with the working group produced the answer, “I really don’t know where to send you.” After being transferred to the attorney general’s office and asking for a phone number for the working group, the answer was, “I’m not aware of one.”

Simply put: It doesn't exist. The so-called "task force" was a bald-faced lie.

 

Mortgage fraud. Remember the price of houses can only go up...

If DEBT is the problem REPAYMENT is the solution

Telecom/Tech: Margin Compression Be A'Coming

One word: Duh.

The U.S. wireless market, long the fastest-growing sector in the telecommunications industry, looks like it’s headed for a wall.

Sales of wireless contracts, the most lucrative segment of the business because it locks in monthly payments over long periods, may have shrunk for the first time ever in the first quarter. One big reason for the sharp reversal: Soaring iPhone sales in late 2011 may have satiated consumers’ appetites for wireless plans.

You have several problems here that will ultimately resolve in lower multiples, negative growth (that is, a saturated industry that feeds on each other rather than growing the base) and the flattening of the subsidy model.

 

More at the link.

Get Ready (Europe)

From the 2012 Predictions Ticker:

The fissures -- if not outright failure -- in the Euro Zone become realized.
I fully expect one or more nations to
leave
the Euro and there is a non-zero chance of an outright collapse. Timing is the problem -- I'll go ahead and stick this in 2012 but may be early a year. We'll see. Incidentally because of how I worded this Greece leaving is a "score" but I'm not thinking Greece here -- try Spain or Italy on for size.

And now we have this:

’s surging
bad loans
are spurring doubt on whether the government can persuade investors that it can clean up the country’s banks without further damaging public finances.

Non-performing loans as a proportion of total lending jumped to 8.16 percent in February, the highest level since 1994, from less than 1 percent in 2007, according to Bank of Spain data published today. The ratio rose from 7.91 percent in January as 3.8 billion euros of loans soured in February, a 110 percent increase from the same month a year ago. That takes the total credit in the economy that the regulator lists as“doubtful” to 143.8 billion euros.

This is bad. Very bad, when one considers that Western Banking Systems all depend on default rates closer to 1%, not 8%.

Why? Because of leverage. If you're running 30:1 gearing then a 3.3% loss wipes you out. A 1% loss is tolerable, but just barely.

 

Spain it's all under control....

If DEBT is the problem REPAYMENT is the solution

 

Debt revenue doesn't equal tax revenue

 

I will pay for my own stupidity but not for the stupidity of others.

 

Remember, profits are privatised, losses are socialised.

That's the 21-century Free Market.
