GM stock shares still receiving bids with bankruptcy prep

April 7, 2009

gm in "intense" bankruptcy prep: source | www.reuters.com

Our Private Equity firm has experienced tremendous (during the recent trailing 12 months) equity stripping (by market conditions and government interventions), and has left us wondering why would General Motors  (GM), a bankruptcy candidate still receive bids? Twenty-Seven (27) millions shares trading as of 3:15 pm eastern. On the other hand Ford (F) shares have rallied (Ninety-Eight (98) million shares trading today) during the recent months and makes more sense for share accumulation, since they rejected TARP funds and have been executing a recovery plan for several years.

The risk of heavy outflows versus reality of transparancy

March 19, 2009

Swiss warn lifting secrecy ‘will take time’ | www.ft.com

Most of the financial community has demanded transparency within publicly traded corporate organizations - which seems appropriate if the public is to risk capital and buy stock of these equities. Now it seems the next directive is following the actual capital and making the global banking repositories provide transparency as well. Switzerland had succumbed to pressure on easing bank secrecy, but the full automatic exchange of tax information, as demanded by countries such as Germany, remained out of the question for Switzerland.

Beyond Credit Enhancement: The Value of Risk Management

March 9, 2009

Buffett Warns Insured Muni Bonds Could Be Next Shoe to Drop | www.tradingmarkets.com

The Bond Buyer headline: A default is a default, is a default, is a default. For bond issues most vulnerable to fiscal stresses, monoline insurers "write themselves into the indenture," with surveillance rights, reporting requirements and -- most imprtantly -- covenants and remedies more akin to an (old fashioned) bank loan than a bond issue. Especially with their portfolios of insured risks under stress, the monolines will aggressively exercise those rights as proxy for bondholders, so insured bondholders should be, generally, better protected. If, in his haste to cash in on the market opportunity in muni bond insurance, Buffett missed this basic element of the business, then BHAC's loss experience could be much worse than predicted.
