    Whats a C.D.O. (Collateralized dept obligation)?
    Wall Street giants like Citigroup and Merrill Lynch have been severely shaken by their losses on an arcane innovation in finance: collateralized dept obligations, or C.D.O.’s.
    Worldwide, there is more than $1.3 trillion invested in C.D.O.’s. Residential mortgage-backed securities, or R.M.B.S., make up 56 percent of the assets in C.D.O.’s. So the slump in housing has had a huge ripple effect on these investments.
    Here’s how a C.D.O. (…)

    G20 - the possible end of world independence
    Citibank and JP Morgan have been profitable in the first two months of 2009. The markets are recovering and the banking sector is leading the rally. The worst is over – or is it?
    Are there hidden reasons for the manipulation of the markets by whispers and insider information in order to change the psychology of the people, especially the members of the G20 for their meeting in April? Is that behind all of the urgent telephone calls and (…)

    By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com
    The last pillar of faith is a fanatical belief. Despite all logic, is this reliance on some unseen guiding force that will rescue us. It will strike down schoolteachers with illness so that we may have another day to study before the big test. It guides rescuers to find the lost. The rescued give praise, all praise above while the rescuers just scratch their heads.
    As the investment banks and brokerage houses advertise their strict (…)

  • Why Stock Markets are Collapsing
    11 March 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    The stock market began as a means for companies to raise money and for “shareholders to invest in business ventures and get a share of profits.” At some point, it turned into a casino resembling a Ponzi scheme, which held true until 2008 when the Ponzi scheme collapsed.
    The causes for this collapse are diverse. Some of its aspects and repercussions have already been discussed here, and will be discussed further in the future. If you would like to know how far the markets have slipped, (…)

    The American participants in this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, have been the first to confront the full international blowback to the U.S.-created world economic crisis. The crisis has devastated America’s reputation for intellectual innovation and practice in global finance, its business leadership and its domination of applied and academic economics—all promoted at the Davos forum for decades.

    by Prof. John McMurtry
    Global Research, February 1, 2009
    When the U.S. Treasury gave away $700 billion to Wall Street banks with no strings attached in October of 2008, the Obama team gave a green light. A popular insurgence was soon silenced, with public wrath directed instead at the U.S. auto producers (and unions) who followed with a request for $25 billion. The auto companies ended up with a loan of about 1/50th the (…)

    The mainstream media and Wall Street have reached the consensus that the current credit crisis is the worst since the post-war period. George Soros’ statement that ”the world faces the worst finance crisis since WWII” epitomizes the collective wisdom. The crisis is currently the ultimate scapegoat for all the economic evils that currently plague the global financial system and the (…)
