zensmoke Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 The truth.....I can't handle the truth.... =DJ S&P: Recovery For US Banking Industry To Take Time DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Despite the better-than-expected results from the U.S. government's stress tests last week, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services believes the banking industry is far from a recovery. "There's nothing to say that this banking crisis can't go for another three or four years," Tanya Azarchs, a manager director at S&P, said at a recent seminar. Instead, S&P said it believes the banks have entered a new phase, but said it was difficult to predict just how long that phase will last. S&P has said the government's steadfast support is critical to the industry's ability to survive the woes, saying there wasn't any indication the support is waning, but warning some limits may exist in the future as Troubled Asset Relief Program funds dwindle. Last Thursday, the U.S. government said 10 of the 19 largest financial institutions would be required to raise a combined $75 billion in capital to meet the requirements of the government's stress tests. S&P Wednesday said it didn't see this figure as an unmanageable amount. Prior to the results of the stress test, S&P last week completed its own stress testing on banks' loan portfolios and placed its ratings on 22 national and regional banks and one thrift, as well as their various units, on watch for downgrade, saying the companies could face downgrades within 90 days. At that time, S&P said it lowered its expectations for the industry, but maintained it believed most of the rated institutions would be able to earn their way out of their credit losses.

Jorma Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 "When The Fed set up Maiden Lane they took on responsibility for settlement of all of the CDS." and "The Federal Reserve decided we should pay 100 cents on the dollar" AIG CEO Lewis today at hearing. So Ben decided to pay off the big banks bets 100%. Nice work. Well it was always implicit. I'd just like to know if Paulson just agreed, or suggested, or pressured, or ordered. Ben, what a fall guy. The perfect schmuck. http://zerohedge.blogspot.com/2009/05/aig-...l-to.html#links Also Tan Angelo is going down. Which was inevitable I suppose. A perfect sacrificial lamb.

Jetlag Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 According to Mayan prophecies and S&P the US banking crisis will end in 2013. "A day after saying big U.S. banks probably needed to raise only one-fourth the capital demanded by the government, Standard & Poor's said the nation's banking crisis has "merely entered a new phase" and might not end before 2013." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/US-banking-c...set=&ccode= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
