Larry Kudlow mentioned that the Federal Reserve may be meeting tonight to discuss the exposure of Citibank and JP Morgan Chase to derivatives and the stock market collapse.
Possible that both banks have billions of derivatives that need to be unwound. Would collapse the banking industry.

I've been reading up on Chester A. Arthur. He was head of the Port of NY -- sort of a equivalent-level position to Rubin's. Back in the swinging years of the late 1800's. Interesting stuff.
Consider that the last great refuge of political patronage at that scale is now the big Banks.

You can do your part. Speak the truth and speak about how important it is to have judges chosen by President Bush and not Tom Daschle. Negative thinking is counter-productive.

>>The sheeple were so selfish they said the only thing that mattered was that their 401ks were growing when Clinton and his gang were committing their crimes in the 90s<<
And the sheeple are so stupid that they will blame Bush and the Republicans for the inevitable revaluation of their inflated positions.
To: Jim Noble
And the sheeple are so stupid that they will blame Bush and the Republicans for the inevitable revaluation of their inflated positions.If we can get down to 15 PE fast enough so that the market spends the rest of this term at least rising with productivity, I think the damage won't be too bad. Bush can say "stay the course". All bets are off if Morgan defaults on derivatives though. We'll have to see if there's anything to that.

Calling off the tin foil hats. Come on get a grip. Bush has no need to bail the bozo's out. Most of the money that these banks have is business'es why would the Prez want to cater to them. Having a bank does not grant you imunity. Banks can go into Bankruptcy. Other banks buy the good stuff and the companies that had bad debt will go bankrupt also. I belive we are going into an age of complete thinning of false Accounting records.

Have you seen where JP Morgan raised CitiBank from "hold" to a "buy" this morning? Boy, I tell ya, I'm just gonna have to run out and buy some... NOT!!
To: Axenolith; All
Bill Murphy of
GATA was on C-SPAN this morning. He says that the derivatives in which Citigroup and especially Morgan have such exposure are gold derivatives, and that, if the price of gold goes above a certain amount (I think he said 332,) Morgan will default. So the big boys are out in force keeping the price of gold down.
To: Uncle Bill
You've got it Uncle Bill! Thanks for providing a concrete example of such a confluence. Many of these players make James Bond's "Dr. No" look like a bit player. Their mega yachts move from one non-extraditable tax haven to another: untouchable. In fact, they "own" the govts of many of these little nations.
Best of all from the visiting politicians' point of view, they can fly out to the "boats" on private choppers, far beyond the reach of prying eyes or even paparazzi telephototos.
