Saw Korea's trade surplus thinning. Are they net exporters or something? If so, that kinda hammering is permissble.

Indonesia's Trade surplus down to 1.36B from 3.33B and ripped through a forecasted 1.8B Sad Western consumer spend appears to be in the tank. So I beg to ask...why is Brent above 100 dollars??

This CDO biz is the largest ponzi ever...


@hisah it would be unfair to label the whole CDO biz as a ponzi. Yes RMBS was the main driver for the 2008 global financial crisis. But remember there are also CLOs which are an important financial instrument used by markets. If the CLO market were done away with the financial markets would be in disarray as there would be no markets for issuers to obtain financing in the markets.

I work as a trustee and can tell you that we are still closing CLOs/CDO albeit with more restrictions and with investment managers been required to invest more in the equity/subordinated notes.

BTW....Your posts are very insightful. Continue the wazua spirit.
My two cents......

How do you differentiate the hens from the foxes in the CDO market? The greed by global banks messed everything up that the whole thing become a financial blackhole. This is why we have gone nowhere since 2008. This CDO biz should be dismantled, those who will shutdown let them shutdown. Reset the system and the strong ones will pick up. As far as am concerned if I can't tell the hens from the foxes, then the thing is a fraud.
