"I'm hesitant to say because of unknown variables," like how much money you and yours will donate.

Having experience some of the Donation Kids at Brown, I can tell you they will accept a person with a 2.0 IQ, let alone a 2.0 GPA.

Well, if they revoked Daiwa Bank's license back in 1996 for hiding the truth about a rogue trader who cost the bank a piddling $1.1 billion, they remove the testicles of every senior UBS employee for costing the government an estimated $100 billion every year.

So, 244 oysters. Has his erection subsided yet?
Must have - Bess is getting cantankerous again.
My ovaries hurt.

Maybe they can dig up $100 million or so and buy the naming rights to some crappy-as stadium, and rename it "BankAtlantic WTF Mortgage Tsunami Arenafield".
Maybe they can buy the Mets stadium naming rights from Citi. They could sure use the cash.

Stupid Carney, you're going to be talking about the Great Depression and soup kitchen lines, and no invite for me? WTF?

The tragedy of that first sentence only begins with its status as "run-on". The full impact can be classified as grammatical homicide. ;)

Shops like Cheyne cracked the mark-to-market dam on these things. I don't think anybody has a choice but to follow suit and sell them at 10-20 or so.
Expect a flood of these CDOs to be marked down to pennies by other shops soon.
How many more equity sales can ML squeeze out before they run out of marks who are willing to buy?

Canada needs a business channel? I figured all they needed was some government bureaucrat updating everyone on the latest achievements towards completion of the Five Year Plan, mixed in with 1950's black&white Romanian cartoons, ahem, I mean "animation".
I wish I was paid in loonies.

The GSEs' mission creep from the "affordable housing mandate" to "the whole freaking mortgage market" has to be reversed, if not outright eliminated.
I'm sick of all this ownership society bullshit. If you need to borrow at double-digit rates to own a house, you should be a FUCKING RENTER, not a GSE-subsidized mortgage welfare recipient sucking on my tax dollars.
Anything that reverses all the anti-free-market propping up of markets, banks and credit bubbles is welcome, even if it is inadvertently enabled by retarded legislators pandering to their constituents.
