An insider talks about Wall Street's big gamble

clipper's remarks: understanding the depth of the credit bubble deflation situation

when I sit down with Eisman, the very first thing he wants to explain is the importance of the mezzanine C.D.O

“You have to understand this,” he says. “This was the engine of doom.” Then he draws a picture of several towers of debt. The first tower is made of the original subprime loans that had been piled together.

At the top of this tower is the AAA tranche, just below it the AA tranche, and so on down to the riskiest, the BBB tranche

But Wall Street had used these BBB tranches—the worst of the worst—to build yet another tower of bonds: a “particularly egregious” C.D.O

The reason they did this was that the rating agencies, presented with the pile of bonds backed by dubious loans, would pronounce most of them AAA. These bonds could then be sold to investors—pension funds, insurance companies—who were allowed to invest only in highly rated securities

“I cannot fucking believe this is allowed—I must have said that a thousand times

Grassroots campaign to stop the bailout

There should be no stock option grants or pay raises and there should be pay caps until every dime of taxpayer money is paid back.

Over 190 top economists in the country have slammed this bailout on grounds of fairness, ambiguity, and long term effects.

It is a disgrace that no professional economist was consulted by Congress or invited to present his/her views at the Congressional hearings on the Treasury rescue plan.

Doing nothing is far better than wasting $350-700 billion in a Wall Street Bailout Boondoggle that puts an already stressed taxpayer in further jeopardy.

Be a part of history!

A grass roots campaign like this has never killed a major bill. You can help do it.
Flood them with calls, emails, and faxes.
Just Do It!
