QUOTE: "FNMA the next LTCM Blow Up"

...anyone see Kudlow & Cramer last evening ?

They tried, I mean they rrrrrrreeeeeaaaallllllly tried to make their show last night a bigger Pep Rally than the Wellstone Memorial-Democratic Convention...

These guys are chasing shadows behind corners looking for reasons to pump this market up...and we are to believe that the market is telling us that all the Economic, Earnings, Cap Ex spending, Consumer Sentiment,Employment and Manufacturing stats are irrelevant because the market is always right and is predicting that turn-around.... BUT ! we need a .50 bp Fed Cut here in Japanese Nikkei Deja-Vu to Zero Range just in case the market is wrong (vbg) ?

...but, that wasn't the pearl gleaned from their show last evening. It was the quote from their new guest who wouldn't play right... who wouldn't keep the Pom-Pom's waving and who dared say, quote/unquote:

"That FNMA was the next LTCM blow up"

- whodathunkit ?

FNMA uses unprecedented debt/leverage to keep this explosive growth rate Mortgage Backed Balloon afloat. The unfortunate thing is that due to this volatility in rates & bonds (not to mention ramping deliquencies, defaults and rampant Soprano-esque FRAUD); the assumptions made/derivatives placed are fracturing.

But why should THEY worry - when it's OUR money that will be used to bail Fannie out...

Tic-Toc `

Rogue Wave Event Catalysts in every direction... it's not a question of when, or if... that's a given; the real question will be whether we get a dominno chain reaction of multiple Event driven implosions of unprecedented measure.
