Treating Mr. Creosote’s Acid Reflux With More Spicy Food

By
July 30, 2007

When the history of this era is written, perhaps more will come to light as to who exactly bought junk securities at inflated prices. Of course my theory holds that so called official buyers have played the major role in these activities and have long since abandoned the prudent man rule. In fact given...

Deer In The Headlights – WSE Pro

By
July 30, 2007

The stock market put on another spectacular fireworks display on Friday. Bears enjoyed the show. Bulls covered their eyes and ears, but refused to lower the lifeboats to board the women and children. As usual when the market breaks, the advice from most pundits was “not to panic” and “remain calm”. They equate selling...

July 28, 2007

Stock market action last week illustrates that not only are a bunch of Wil E Coyotes hanging out to dry on the Minsky Moment, but other investors have had a hair trigger reaction to the sudden downward volatility. Frankly they just aren’t used to it after having been long conditioned by regular “in the...

Correction – WSE Pro Fed Report for 7/26/07

By
July 27, 2007

In yesterday’s Fed report, I erroneously reported a total of 14 billion in repos added on the day. The total was $19 billion. The net add was $6.25 billion not $1.25 billion. The Fed did an extra repo yesterday that I missed. The extra repo suggests that the Fed was in fact reacting to...

Time To Pay The Paper Piper – WSE Pro

By
July 26, 2007

The big directional divergence between stock prices and the direction of the Fed and FCB indicators since March might be a huge warning signal that the market had been running on fumes, piling leverage upon leverage without the base liquidity to back it up.

The Fed stood relatively still on Wednesday adding a net of just $0.25 billion by replacing $6.5 billion in expiring repos with $6.75 billion in overnight repos. The 5 day net plummeted to a net drain of $8.5 billion. That is punishing, as the market faces a huge $32 billion in new Treasury debt...
