The Deep, Inner Meaning Of Bank of America's (BAC) TARP Repayment

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:19:07 GMT

As expected, Bank of America (BAC) will repurchase its $45 billion TARP preferreds, funded in part by an additional $18.8 billion in "common stock equivalents", $4.0 billion in asset sales, and $1.7 billion in restricted stock issued to employees in lieu of cash bonuses.[More...]

Forget Yesterday, It's All About Jobs

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:21:30 GMT

Good morning. Stocks tanked in the last half-hour on Thursday and while the major news outlets attributed the decline to either profit taking or some trepidation in front of this morning's big Jobs report, we'd like to offer a little more substantial reason for the 85 point dive on an otherwise subdued day of trading.[More...]

Fed Balance Sheet Declines By $15 Billion After Improbable Reduction In MBS, Excess Reserves, Monetary Base Hit Record

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:14:41 GMT

The Federal Reserve's balance sheet declined by $15 billion to $2,183 billion from the prior week, after the Fed presumably offloaded $2.7 billion in MBS: this is the first time since QE started that MBS holdings have declined. If anyone can tell us just who the idiots are who bought MBS from the Fed (and at what price), and who the even greater idiots are who are supposed to believe this, please send us an email.[More...]

Interesting Stat: How Much Private Sector GDP Is From Construction And Real Estate?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:15:56 GMT

Back in June, we discussed commercial real estate at length following attendance at a large real estate conference in NYC. Our tone was cautious and one question we wondered about was the percentage of GDP that real estate represents. We actually came across the answer back in August and meant to share then, but didn't get to it. Since the question/topic remains highly relevant to considering the potential negative economic drag from depressed real estate activity, we're sharing now -- the following table is from an 8/28/09 NYTs article, "Construction That Fueled Growth in the Sun Belt Slows":[More...]

Credit Market Overview: Dec 3, 2009

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:59:02 GMT

The credit crunch crisis of confidence which we appear to be crawling out of even though the debt and equity markets catapulted themselves higher earlier this year could be similarly argued to be a crisis that started in the credit markets which crunched confidence around the world as it could a collapse in confidence in the value of the securities investors held which corrupted the credit markets causing them to cease funding.[More...]

Why Barrick Closed Their Gold Hedge

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:15:14 GMT

It sure looks like gold is going to close above $1,200 an ounce today in New York. And large open market purchases from central banks in China, India and Russia are only helping the price surge more. (Just one year ago, some of these same central banks were actually selling gold in an attempt to fill an annual 10,000-ton supply gap.)[More...]

How To Profit From The 'Next' Dubai

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:51:42 GMT

The Dubai World default is a matter of only $60 billion – mere peanuts when compared to other elements of the global financial crisis. It’s thus of concern only to those silly enough to invest in real estate there (and the European banks foolish enough to finance it.) For the rest of us, it is a useful reminder that sudden collapses don’t really come out of nowhere – they can be foreseen, and smart investors can plan for them.[More...]

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 11:46:00 GMT

Nov. 14--A Maryland maker of anthrax vaccine said Friday that it has bought a 55,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in East Baltimore that it will use to expand its operations, potentially creating as many as 125 jobs in the city over the next five years that initially were expected in Frederick.

Emergent spent $415,000 more to buy the land from the city.
