VABills Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 There are just certain things the government should not make public. Like what happens if we hit 10% unemployment and home prices lose 20% more. Keep this crap sensitive. All this does is make it look like the government is expecting it, and the markets continue to follow suit. WTF, STFU already. http://money.cnn.com/2009/02/25/news/compa...sion=2009022514
erynthered Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 You mean like when Pelosi or the NYT reveals a secret mission to the public?

I think that the traders are sophisticated enough to understand the purpose of a stress test.

They have done everything wrong when it comes to the markets and continue to do so. They need to STFU.

Given that we have "soft" nationalization of Citibank and significant positions in others as taxpayer and potential investor I very much want to know what the Fed and Treasury are up to. Personally, I have held off on making any investments in BAC anc C because of the very likely scenario that they will be nationalized. My personal guess is that BAC will survive and C will get broken up. From an investment standpoint they are both pretty risky right now.
HopsGuy Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I think, for better or worse, we've moved into a new age of transparency. The real question is, "If no banks fail this test, does it really count as a stress test?"

WTF, STFU already. http://money.cnn.com/2009/02/25/news/compa...sion=2009022514 By the U6 unemployement measure (taking into account people working part-time, but looking for full-time work, those that cannot find a job for 12 months or more etc.), we are already at 16%. If you ask me, their worst case scenario is most likely and a true worst case scenario 30% unemployment, 20% of S&P 500 bankrupt, housing falling 50%, is still on the radar.

If someone is gonna piss on my back and tell me it's raining, I'll get an umbrella. If somebody is gonna piss on my back and tell me it's piss on my back, I'll change that. Immediately.
