Corp. Credit Crisis (Private Equity) > Recession
Want to get peoples thoughts on this and see where some may agree or disagree. Essentially I have this belief from talking to clients over the past couple weeks. The private equity market has gotten so large and private equity backed companies make up such a large percentage of our economy. So as...
China: To short or not to short?
China; the birthplace of Kung Fu, fireworks, hot asian women, and fake Louis Vuittons. It's meteoric rise in power is unparalleled throughout history. Though largely hated in the old world, some say that it’s the future, the new frontier, the place where dreams come true and fortunes are to be...

Credit Crisis Explained
"It Was You"
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Dimon-Dont-paint-al… Some great words by Jamie Dimon. Just when I thought all the eloquence and smarts on Wall Street were being drowned out by the incompetence, there's still proof out there that there is smart money still breathing in New York. I agree with a lot of...
More Expensive Than Expected?
Have you ever had a professional give you an estimate on a home or car repair? I always assume that the final bill will be at least 10-20% higher. Whenever the final bill is lower I am always shocked and surprised. Well it turns out the bailout’s are going to be significantly more costly than...
This Too Shall Pass...(part 1)
We will all remember today as the beginning of the new market. Congress has apparently come to terms on a bailout plan and, barring any last minute shenanigans in the House or Senate, it will be voted on and passed this week. We all have a new managing partner in D.C., whether we like it or not. It...
A look at the brighter side of life!

BUY & HOLD ..... A SCAM
Just did a search on the topic of buy and hold and there is no thread on it and really wanted to start an in depth discussion on what I feel is the biggest scam in wall street. The myth that buy and hold is the most superior investment strategy. Every day as I watch CNBC I have to listen to these so...
CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE?
I've been wondering what effect this crisis will have on this/the next generation of bankers/traders/businespeople. Are we going to be wiser and more humble, or just more risk-averse and paranoid? Do you feel as if we've been had by a system we only thought we understood? Will we ever recover our...

How does all of this affect IBD?
I've been reading many articles, such as the following, that spell death for the investment banking industry. http://www. ft .com/cms/s/0/ccc6d456-8fd7-11dd-9890-0000779fd18c,dwp_uuid=11f94e6e-7e94-11dd-b1af-000077b07658.html Yet, it is really S&T that they are talking about. After all, M&A only...
