4shzl Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 From the clueless in NYC folder...... "Without the talent of Wall Street to bring us back into a position of leadership in the global economy, we're going to be in bad shape as a world economic power," said Kathryn Wilde of the Partnership for New York. Wylde says the Obama salary cap will lead to a critical brain drain ? China and the United Arab Emirates have already come to poach Wall Street talent. She also says lower salaries in the financial industry will mean dramatically lower tax revenues for the city and state. Link Kathryn Wilde Official Photo Sorry Kathryn but that's not the way we see it out here in the real world. It was that "talent" that helped turn the world financial system into an on-going trainwreck, throw millions of people around the world out of work and force governments everywhere to burden the next generation with the bill to clean up the whole mess. Now that "talent" is snorting down trillions in public handouts like pigs at the trough. So I vote to let those "brains" go to China and the UAE, both of which endorse public execution for notorious crimes against society. This is really the money quote: "We also depend heavily on the financial services industry to fund our economy and our tax rolls," said Wylde. "Last year 20 percent of our income taxes in the states ? 12 percent in New York City came from Wall Street." And it's absolutely true. NYC is forked -- totally and permanently forked. Katie knows that, but she'd like to hold on to her job as long as she can so she babbles about a "brain drain." Whatever. BTW, whatever significance the Euro/Yen has elsewhere, I can promise you this: deleveraging on the island of Manhattan has just begun. Before it's over, what's going on in Miami et. al. will look like a comparative garden party. Count on it. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorma Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 What if what Tim G says Monday the market no likee? I think it might be time to fade myself. I've assumed and assumed and assumed some more the whole thing will be love and kisses and glorious dirty no questions asked sex for banksters everywhere. Hasn't everybody? The thing is there isn't enough money in the world to really make them happy and if you think about it Tim doesn't have any money to spend. Besides the already allocated TARP II. Unless he asks congress. To bail out the banksters? Haahhhahaa. He could have Ben print it up for him. That's the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alceringa Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Latest Zoombie Bank news.......... Citigroup Hides Mystery Meat in Balance Sheet Feb. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Even now, Citigroup Inc.’s bosses can’t get over their delusions of grandeur. You can see their shiny optimism in a $44 billion balance- sheet item called deferred-tax assets, which is a fancy term for pent-up losses that the bank hopes to use later to cut its tax bills. That figure tells you Citigroup’s executives, in spite of their bank’s near-collapse, are still forecasting future profits as far as the eye can see. They have every incentive to do this, too. If they ever turned pessimistic, the assets might go poof. While you won’t find any mention of deferred taxes in Citigroup’s latest earnings release, this may be the most important asset on the bank’s books today. It also looks the fishiest, at more than three times what it was a year ago, and more than double the company’s $19 billion stock-market value. Those assets represented 55 percent of Citigroup’s common shareholder equity as of Dec. 31. And one crucial question still unanswered is how much of that $44 billion Citigroup is including in its closely watched Tier 1 capital, the primary gauge the government uses to measure a bank’s ability to survive losses.
