THE NEW YORK TIMES: JP Morgan Pays 2 a Share for Bear Stearns


By ANDREW ROSS SORKIN Published: March 17, 2008 In a shocking deal reached on Sunday to save Bear Stearns, JPMorgan Chase agreed to pay a mere 2 a share to buy all of Bear ?? less than one-tenth the firm??s market price on Friday. As part of the watershed deal, JPMorgan and the Federal Reserve will guarantee the huge trading obligations of the troubled firm, which was driven to the brink of bankruptcy by what amounted to a run on the bank. Reflecting Bear??s dire straits, JPMorgan agreed to p

U.S. Economy


To loosen up the markets where liquidity is a problem, particularly following the collapse of Bear Stearns stock, the U.S. Federal Reserve has earmarked 400 billion in funds which it will use to do things like guarantee otherwise dubious investments, such as sub-prime related loans. It seems unlikely to acquire much of material value in exchange, beyond some hearty gratitude from a few major campaign contributors who would otherwise be facing the consequences of their reckless investment decis

THE FINTAG NEWSLETTER 17 March 2008


FINTAG COMMENT The rooster is roosting. Events are happening quickly. Having raised our concerns about Bear Stearns since last August, we were treated once more to "its all fine" and as predicted "we are screwed" within the space of 4 days. It took Citi 10 weeks to admit it had lied. This is the problem. Nobody knows how bad it really is. I am scared and so should you be. Although Bear have been the butt of many an unfunny joke, I never thought this would happen. I recall joking with lawyers a

Oh, they didn't like that...


Dollar index through the floor at 70.872, ??96.45, the Euro buys 1.59. These are monstrous moves. J.P. Morgan is "buying" Bear Stearns for 2/share, down from 30 at Friday's close, or from 57! on Thursday. They're basically buying it for the cost of the Bear Stearns headquarters building. The Fed also cut the overnight rate by a quarter percent, expanded its lending pool again, and has guaranteed J.P.Morgan against losses via 30 billion in "financing" of Bear Stearns's "less liquid assets.

Just Let Bear Stearns Die


Friday morning Jim Cayne got to his office at Bear Stearns, flipped the switch and the lights did not come on. Despite all the assurances from the chief over the last two weeks, one of the world's largest investment banks was out of money. Cayne started scrambling, calling around the corner to JP Morgan, and got Ben Bernanke on the phone. As all this was going down, and the stock market tumbled, the Decider was a few blocks away at the Economic Club doing some chipper cheerleading, warnin

The economy is in great shape... Well, it must be, the "Decider" said so!


I never cease to be amazed at the incredible arrogance of the under-taxed and over pampered rich here in the US. On Friday Bear Sterns almost went down the shitter. It lost nearly 6 billion in less than five minutes. It was saved - temporarily in my opinion - my a massive input of money from JP Morgan and the Federal Reserve... Which means it's MY FUCKING MONEY! What I don't get is why can't we just let the bastards fail? I'll tell you why... While all this shit was hitting the fan, the New Yo

Fed Shoveling Our Money To Thieving Banks


And you thought it was bad on Friday when the Fed gave Bear Stearns 200,000,000 of our money. Today -- a Sunday! -- they gave J.P. Morgan 30 billion, yes, 30,000,000,000 of our money to subsidize a deal to take over Bear Stearns. Public money for a private buyout. To protect the shareholders. You know the Bushies's aren't going to go back and, I don't know, bankrupt the morons who drove the company into bankruptcy.

To say we live in interesting times is an understatement. Yet another national bank -- this time the Federal Reserve Bank of New York -- comes to the rescue of the 5th largest investment bank in the United States, Bear Sterns. To be exact, funds are being loaned to JPMorgan Chase who will then lend this undisclosed sum of money to Bear Stearns to help the company stay in business. However, should the company default or worse yet go out of business, all the risk rest solely with the Fed. Basical

Why Didn't the Feds Just Buy Bear Stearns?


Okay, so the Bear Stearns deal is done. JP Morgan puts up 270 or maybe 236 million in stock--a price which Yves Smith notes is about one quarter the value of Bear's headquarters building link. The Feds go on the hook for 30 billion as a "special lending facility," heh heh, i.e., a ???non-recourse facility to manage up to 30B +/- of illiquid assets, largely mortgage-related??? link.

Bear Stearns Actually Was Given Away


All these stories about the purchase price of Bear Stearns??it's being bought, supposedly, for 2 a share, for a total cost of 270 million??are wrong in a fundamental way, I think.

Bear Stearns on last legs?


Well, let's put it this way: When you're in the banking business and most everybody has lost confidence in both the quality of your assets and your ability to maintain adequate liquidity, it's not exactly a good situation. Bear Stearns has been in precarious shape for many months now - you might recall that two of its hedge funds came apart because of subprime-related exposure - but concern turned into crisis in just the past 24 hours. It's always hard to trace the origins of these things, espe
