Larry Summers back in the news:

Flashback:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/06/business/06summers.html?_r=1&ref=lawrence_h_summers

Excerpt: While at Shaw, Mr. Summers also peered into the inner workings of the $2 trillion hedge fund industry, which the Obama administration is now relying on to buy billions of dollars of worrisome assets from the nation’s beleaguered banks.

You know, now that I just took another Tavakoli truncheon in the grill, allow me a questionl: who's the highest up who still tells the truth? My 1 pick is Whalen, 2 Tavakoli 3 Meredith (no brainstemmer) 4 anyone else who plays for keeps.

--Is Barry R. Zenyatta in disguise?

Just wonderin' where readers would put their chips in a actual game.

Shit, I forgot to add this for baseball fans, especially ones who like Moneyball. Try this. Take SLG and multiply by OBP. The conventional stat on this (OPS) is fucking useless and a disgrace.

What pops out of SLG*OBP is called runs produced per plate appearance. You have to make the usual engineering bag of crap assumptions (eg, 362/363 = 1) but it's good.

Let's call it RPA. I'd like to hear from those who feel OPS is more useful.

Shit, it's... what day is it?

Listed hedge funds, private equity firms, and closed-end distressed asset funds may provide investors with some exposure to these assets

http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/aug2008/pi20080815_254149.htm

excerpt: In that same roundtable from American Securitization, Ed Gainor, partner at law firm McKee Nelson, remarked "Hopefully, this type of investing will clear out a lot of these bad assets and contribute to jump-starting the market again and providing funding for people who should have home loans."

A little about Mckee and Nelson.

Listed hedge funds, private equity firms, and closed-end distressed asset funds may provide investors with some exposure to these assets

http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/aug2008/pi20080815_254149.htm

Excerpt:

While it may be some time before distressed asset investors feel comfortable making bets on mortgage assets, over the longer term the activity is likely to be positive for the overall mortgage market, in our view. In that same roundtable from American Securitization, Ed Gainor, partner at law firm McKee Nelson, remarked "Hopefully, this type of investing will clear out a lot of these bad assets and contribute to jump-starting the market again and providing funding for people who should have home loans."

Note Mckee Nelson in above article and here is more info on them.

http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2008/02/01/small-law-firms-big-role-in-bundling-mortgages/

Excerpt:

In recent years, as subprime lending proliferated, a small law firm played a big role on Wall Street.

The young firm, McKee Nelson, helped investment banks and mortgage lenders bundle home loans into securities – lots of them. Since 2000, McKee has been involved in almost 3,300 deals totaling $2.7 trillion, according to Asset Backed Alert, an industry newsletter.

Now moving ahead to Larry Summers.
