PPIP To The Rescue

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:09:18 GMT

The "bad bank" program to purchase loan assets from the balance sheets of banks called PPIP was supposed to be the mother of all bank balance sheet cleanups. The program was divided into two components: the loan program and the securities program - the Treasury would provide leverage and investors will come for the returns. The loan program was supposed to buy actual loans from banks - mortgages, consumer loans, equipment leases, commercial property mortgages, etc. Great idea in principle, but there was a problem.[More...]

Consolidation Day Closes Strong, Ends Mixed

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:49:16 GMT

The markets were mixed at the close, as today was mostly a consolidation-type day until the last hour or so. The indices vacillated between 1700 and 1710 on the Nasdaq 100 and between 1050 and 1057 on the S&P 500 over the first couple hours.

Annaly's New Mortgage REIT Falls Short, While Lehman's Limited Partners Cry Foul

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:19:42 GMT

It's true; I was feeling a bit continental so I decided to take an entire month off from the world of REITs and commercial real estate. But Labor Day is no longer the summer sanctuary it once was. Not only does the holiday fall in September, preceding the month that has become known for Black Monday and the Crash of 1929, but September is now known as the month in which capitalism itself was nearly killed for good. It would have been hard to believe then, but the cynical attack on its iconic symbols eight years earlier is now even more poignant.[More...]
