Not sure why this stock is rallying in the midst of AIG bonus headlines. If anything, the current administration is displaying plenty of dislike for financial sinkholes such as AIG. How is FRE not in the same boat? What USED to make sense, the gov't taking a < 50% equity position in a company no longer seems to make sense. Even tho the gov't effectively saved AIG, AIG mgt seems to continue to do as it likes. So if FRE gets in trouble in the future, why should the administration look to save it this time? While it might like to continue to pay-off foreign counterparty banks with ...

Fannie, Freddie to Buy $40 Billion a Month of Troubled Assets
By Dawn Kopecki Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Federal regulators directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to start purchasing $40 billion a month of underperforming mortgage bonds as the Bush administration expands its options to buy troubled financial assets and resuscitate the U.S. economy, according to three people briefed about the plan. <> Fannie and Freddie began notifying bond traders last week that each company needs to buy $20 billion a month in mostly subprime, Alt-A and non-performin...

More on Unemployment Duration – Analyst Blog
|
|
|
While I touched on unemployment duration at the end of my last blog, this is a very important subject and deserves a bit more elaboration. Quite simply being out of work for three or four weeks is a very different experience with very different economic implications than being out of work for six months to a year or more. The focus on the total number of unemployed obscures that reality. The thing that makes this recession so much different than the ones that have gone before it is how long people are staying out of work once they become unemployed. Yeah if you get laid off for a few weeks,...

Weak Employment Report – Analyst Blog
|
|
|
The October employment report came in weaker than expected as the country lost 190,000 jobs, rather than the 175,000 expectation. It was, however, an improvement over the 219,000 lost in September, but worse than the 154,000 jobs lost in August. Both the September and August job losses were revised sharply lower. As of last month it was thought that we lost 263,000 jobs in September and 201,000 in August. So in that context, missing expectations for October by 15,000 does not seem that bad. Of course, it is bad if you happen to be one of those losing your job. Based on the establishment sur...

Health Care REIT FFO Plummets – Analyst Blog
|
|
|
Health Care REIT Inc. (HCN), a real estate investment trust (REIT) that operates senior housing and health care real estate, has reported dismal third quarter 2009 results with FFO (fund from operations) of 53 cents per share compared to 85 cents in the year-earlier quarter.
