To have the major houses buy back positions from customers at cost is awesome. There is US$300 billion of these instruments floating around. Over US$50 billion is being bought back so far. The big players are being left out in the cold, the little guys are being taken care of. I guess the regulators figured that the big boys knew what they were doing. Again, world wide liquidity is getting killed. These auction rate notes settlements continue to damage the banks liquidity. That M1 effective has declined over 50%, and probably over 90% in the past 18 months is simply just devastating for the world. Remember trillions of dollars of instruments that were considered cash equivalent can now, on a good day, maybe muster 20 cents on the dollar and on a bad day 1 cent on the dollar. The Fed has to keep up liquidity. The kinds of levels of M1 equivalents that were generated with the securitization of securities seem to be needed to support the huge current level of world wide trade and development. The National Banks around the world are just going to have to buy trillions of dollars in these instruments, unless there is some other way to provide the liquidity needed for the level of development world wide. I can see no other way to provide this liquidity to the markets. Have the Feds buy for 20 year 2% paper all the offered securities that are currently not in default. That will make all these instruments cash equivalents again. It is easy to figure out the present discounted values. There have to be some checks and balances on the Feds being scammed, but that should not be too difficult. The Feds will do quite well with these investments and the world can get back to building cities and countries where the populations all have a great chance at a reasonable life style given the fact that everybody works hard and pays attention. We are in shock that the Russians have hired Cossack Mercenaries to rape and loot Gori. It looks like they have promised Tbilisi to these dregs of humanity. Putin is showing his colours. Let us hope the US stops this outrage. The etrog tree has now apparently settled on 2 etrogs. Let us see if these can really get going. The tree continues to bloom. The tree has lost about 10 etrogs that were set but never developed. Good Shabbos rtc
