Cramer Freaks Out

Bernanke, Trichet Urged by Markets to Do Rates U-Turn

``Bernanke is in a little bit better position to make independent decisions without too much pressure from other parts of the government,'' says Scott Pardee, former head of foreign- exchange operations at the New York Fed and now a professor at Middlebury College in Vermont. ``It isn't one of these things where everyone in the world is calling on the Fed to lower interest rates.''

Charles Goodhart, who sat on the Bank of England's panel between 1997 and 2000, says that's what happened after central banks in Europe and the U.S. cut rates in response to the 1998 currency crisis, only to see inflation accelerate and asset bubbles inflate during the next two years.

``Central banks reduced rates and very quickly wished they hadn't,'' he says. ``The rate decision had to be reversed quite sharply to deal with the major upturn that we saw from 1998 to 2000.''

Beware the fragile relationship between prime brokers and hedge funds

As Richard Bookstaber wrote in his recent book, "A Demon of Our Own Design": "Trying to control the risk ends up creating the liquidity crisis."

Cramer's Sage Rage?
by Brady Willett

The first problem with Cramer's rant is that his sentiments go against comments he penned in 'The Lie That Will Kill Hedge Funds'. In this commentary Cramer calmly discussed how mortgages are packaged into bonds, purchased by arbitrate managers using leverage and, in recent months, how these loans/hedge funds have started to blowup. The following quote will suffice:

"You will hear a lot of chatter about "the resetting of risk premium" right now. And it is true. But what's really going on is lying prices. These strategies didn't take into account the risk of default. The agencies didn't take it into account. The packagers didn't. The homebuilders that relied on it didn't...

``They obviously heard us, they acted,'' he said on the air. ``This is the beginning of the run to 14,500.''

Antingen gillar man Cramer eller så avskyr man honom, han har gjort sina pengar i allafall och comeback. Karln var ju pamplonabull mars 2000 och ganska länge under the techbust. Fed sänkte discountrate vilket hjälper mortg. men den gör ingenting för credit. Marknaden har iallafall fått bevis att FED bail them out in turmoil precis som under Greenspan. Antagligen kommer flera gnälla om att det inte räcker och i takt med det klättrar marknaden under några dagar. Även om de sannolikt kommer kräva en rejäl sänkning av FEDFundratei ett senare skede. Tightningcycle pågår ju fortfarande fram till första kv 2008(av 5,25 % har ju 0,5% inte arbetat sig in ännu).

Han kör en great show men hans mad money stockpicks have underpreformed the market over the past two years.

#7 Cramer är en clown, strunt i honom.

Men att FED visar på att man bailar ut marknaden tycker jag är fel. Detta handlar om att FED (+ andra centralbanker) står ut för likviditeten i intrabanks-marknaden, som onödigt för en irationell stöt i samband med denna credit run. Det handlar om att solventa aktörer inte skall åka på nöte pga att andra gjort bort sig.

Straffa dem som straffas bör o de lider nog som de gör, lägre discount eller ej.
