Whadda I Do Whadda I Do Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 DJ Fed Sets 2008 Indexing For Reserve Requirements WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday it has raised the exemption for reserve requirements for 2008 for depository institutions. For net transaction accounts in 2008, the first $9.3 million will be exempt from reserve requirements. That is up from $8.5 million in 2007. A 3% reserve ratio will be assessed on net transaction accounts over $9.3 million up to and including $43.9 million, down from $45.8 million in 2007. A 10% reserve ratio will be assessed on net transaction accounts in excess of $43.9 million. 610728[/snapback] I knew it......they'd start playing with reserve requirements panic double cuts of the dicsout rate not enough they want full on hyperinflation, and they're gonna get it 610751[/snapback] Better than a rate cut. A bowel movement like that makes it hard to go very short in the near future. I'll never understand Doc's fascination with how forthright and squeaky clean Fed bank agencies are unless he has a relative in the system. With grains and oil skying there is something wrong with this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatohead Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 The only thing more painful than being short CME today was.... BARNAUL, Russia (Reuters) - A Siberian woman who gave birth to her 12th child -- doing more than her fair share to stem Russia's population decline -- was stunned to find that little Nadia weighed in at a massive 7.75 kg (17.1 lb). http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070926/od_uk_...k_russia_baby_1 and I doubt they use Epidurals in that neck of the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whadda I Do Whadda I Do Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 In the end the population will consist of 1% being ultra wealthy and the balance being in the service industries. No middle class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1929_trader Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Going forward we'll see the continuation of weaker financial companies getting bought as a result of this whole ABCP mess. The strong balance sheet companies are just scooping them up. 3 months from now this whole subprime mess will be a distant memory and the lows will have been put in.

ASSk Bernie Ebers and Steve "Worst" Case. Government bailouts are a bottoming sign. Ask Lee IOUcoca. And the Raines Man. A Weimar run needs credit creation. Ask Warren and SHITtyCorpse who they are gonna make new loans to. Maybe there is a new bubble. The Bailout Bubble. Its still a big long double top, folks.

lineup32 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Going forward we'll see the continuation of weaker financial companies getting bought as a result of this whole ABCP mess. The strong balance sheet companies are just scooping them up. 3 months from now this whole subprime mess will be a distant memory and the lows will have been put in. 610836[/snapback] you may be correct but ABCP problems may continue to have far reaching implications for a large variety of companies. The other night I was looking at a 8K from this small company and noticed there problem selling the ABCP they had been buying. Another small company , which I cannot recall there symbol, made it very clear that their money was NOT parked in ABCP. The other issue to consider is that companies have allready lost considerable amount of money and have felt the pain why many others are under the covers with various mark to model accounting games. I doubt that we are seeing the end of structured finance but the market for these creations seem to be at a low point. below is a short paragraph i lifted from the Xethanol 8K: "In light of the current credit markets and the inability of Xethanol to sell the securities at par, Xethanol's board of directors evaluated the risks of continuing to hold the securities, which included the risk that the sales price of the securities might decline even further. Based on this evaluation, the board authorized management to sell all of the securities. Xethanol did so on September 20, 2007 through Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. at a discount to par. The sales resulted in a loss of $1.5 million of Xethanol's $13.3 million total investment in the securities. Xethanol is currently reviewing its possible legal remedies. In its financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2007, Xethanol will reflect a $1.5 million loss resulting from the sale of the securities.
