Wall Street Bailout or Recovery Plan?

Monday, June 16th, 2008
John DeLellis asked:


 

The bailout plan and the bailout bill involve many complex issues that the average person would have some difficulty understanding. When you add the fact that Americans find themselves in a politically charged environment (during an election year), It makes it almost impossible to get a clear take on the issues. I see the Bailout as a way to fix what has been called a credit contraction problem. Reducing the Problem to it’s simplest form.

Forecloses = Reduces the value of mortgage backed securities = Banks can not sell the mortgages and generate additional money to lend to consumers and business = Business can not get loans for payroll, operations, and growth = loss of jobs for the average wage earner/taxpayer.

The bailout should, in theory, fix the strangle hold the foreclosures have on the credit availability for consumers and businesses. The government can rehabilitate these loans by providing some relief for the homeowners by lowering payments, increasing loan terms (40years), lowering interest rates and restructuring the bad loans. A long term solution may depend on job and economic growth within the United States.

The bailout is a good investment from the government’s perspective because it will serve to maintain the operation of the economic engine that generates the nation’s wealth -the US economy. Their is a concern that the bailout bill is yet another overweening power grab that leaves decision making on how the bailout is conducted and administered totally at the discretion of the Treasury Secretary (currently Hank Paulson). The problem with the bailout is not only socializing the losses, but also that without regulatory reform, it is allowing the underlying structural problems in the financial system to remain unrepaired.

The bailout is important, because it reflects apparent faith in a discredited economic theory known as supply-side or “trickle-down” which holds that to help everyone, the government needs only to allow the rich to have more money, who will use it to create jobs. I believe people act in their own self interest. The wealthy are more likely to tie money up or spend and invest it abroad instead of America. Now, there is risk, but the alternative is something that would affect every single one of us, our money in banks and our jobs.

The goal of the bailout is to try and keep the real bubble that started this, the mortgage mess, from dragging down everything else in it’s wake. Some experts say the bailout is good news for homebuyers and homeowners hoping to refinance, as the situation may lead to lower interest rates. As the government prepares for its largest financial bailout in history, both John McCain and Barack Obama believe the bailout is fundamentally a good thing, but that there should be more oversight built into the $700-billion plan to stabilize the financial markets. Finally, if the bailout is inevitable, then Congress should only pass a bailout and not tack on other measures to the legislation to meet the demands of individual constituents or special interests.

January Wall Street Crash

Saturday, January 5th, 2008
Ernie Fitzpatrick asked:


It’s official, trading for the month of January is now officially over and the news is wrose than expected. Stocks wrapped up their worst January on record with a final plunge on Friday.The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished January down 8.84% on the month. Perviously, the worst January for the Dow had been that of 1916, when it fell 8.64%. That’s 1916! 

Friday, the Dow dropped 148.15 points to 8000.86 after briefly dipping below the 8000 mark. The Dow has fallen five straight months and in 12 of the last 15.

We have anew president but that’s not changing the mess we’re in any time soon. In fact, it’s going to get much worse before it gets better. Obama says his plan would ensure corporate chief executives do not siphon away tax dollars to fund big bonuses, expressing outrage again at reports of big pay-outs in 2008 despite massive job cuts, financial losses and government bailouts. “We learned this week that even as they petitioned for taxpayer assistance, Wall Street firms shamefully paid out nearly $20 billion in bonuses for 2008,” the president said.

The president said he would insist on “unprecedented transparency, rigorous oversight, and clear accountability” for funds that went toward stabilizing the financial system. “While I’m committed to doing what it takes to maintain the flow of credit, the American people will not excuse or tolerate such arrogance and greed.”

The S&P 500-stock index lost 2.28% Friday to end at 825.88, for cumulative losses in January of 8.57%. Until Friday, its worst January from 1929 onward occurred in 1970, when it lost 7.65%. Both stock-market indexes are off by more than 40% from their 2007 highs. Traders cited fears that plans wouldn’t go forward for a so-called bad bank to soak up toxic assets from financial institutions, and bleak economic news, in particular Friday’s report of a 3.8% contraction in fourth quarter GDP.

A slew of layoff announcements, skepticism of the Obama stimulus plan, and a series of bleak earnings reports all crunched U.S. stock markets over the course of the week. Those developments left investors who exited stocks last year with little desire to put their money to work in the markets, limiting any stock rallies. “I don’t think anyone is willing to put money to work until we get clarity out of the new government,” said Matthew Cheslock, managing director at Cohen Capital Group LLC.

Investors have grown wary of efforts to right the ship. The Obama stimulus plan has received a lukewarm reception among market participants and buzz about the possible creation of a “bad bank” to soak up toxic assets has waxed and waned, perplexing investors. After a three-day jump to start the week, the bottom dropped out for stocks on Thursday and Friday.

The  bottom line is that we’re not in control and we’re finally coming to that realization.

Wall Street ******* (ponzicide)

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008
Ernie Fitzpatrick asked:


Liliane Bettencourt, the world’s wealthiest woman and heiress to the L’Oreal empire, entrusted part of her $22.9 billion fortune to Bernard Madoff through the fund manager found dead in New York yesterday. Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, the co-founder and chief executive of Access International, was found dead in his office in New York yesterday. It appears that he committed ******* as a result of the Bernard Madoff ponzi scheme. 

It’s one thing to cheat people out of money, but it’s a whole different paradigm when a person commits ******* as a result of the thefts, schemes, and losses. I’m not sure how Madoff lives with himself, or anyone else for that matter, that causes such grief in the world.

The 65-year-old Villehuchet had lost as much as $1.4 billion invested with Madoff. Villehuchet “could not cope with the pressure following the outbreak of the scandal,” some of his relatives confirmed. His death in many ways is a farewell from someone who had done nothing wrong. He was discovered by paramedics in the Manhattan offices of Access International and pronounced dead.

Madoff is accused of masterminding and running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme and the former Nasdaq chief is currently on house arrest. Anyone else committing such fraud would be in jail. It’s an interesting society that we have built in America which says on the one hand everyone is treated equally before the law, but the realities say something entirely different.

Mr. Villehuchet is probably just the first of many who will take the suicidal way out. He was said to be “devastated” when news of the $50 billion Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Mr. Madoff - the biggest corporate fraud in history - emerged, and he feared clients would turn against him in the courts. He had been trying for a week to recover at least $1.5 billion in European funds that Access International had invested through Mr/ Madoff’s business. I’m afraid not many, if any other than the lawyers will get any compensation.

Gentlemen. Start your lawsuits!
