Struth! Someone want to translate it? It sounds like all the smart is getting out of US equities and into bonds.

Fundemental reasons to short Wall St...I like it!

Deals: How Low Can You Go?
In our M&A Roundup for the week ended Sept. 16, the $3.36 billion total is the weakest of the year so far.
By Roy Harris ==> www.CFO.com
September 18, 2007

After gradually slipping over the past two-and-a-half months, with occasional flurries of big-deal excitement, last week's quiet merger-and-acquisition market officially left the stratospheric first half behind. The 36 deals with a total value of $3.36 billion were a new low for the year.

Only one deal ”” BreitBurn Energy Partners LP's agreement to buy some assets from Quicksilver Resources Inc. ”” topped the billion-dollar mark in the week ended Sept. 16. And half the top 10 North American deals were valued at less than $300 million, according to data provided to CFO.com by mergermarket .

In the private equity realm, the top reported deal was Platinum Equity LLP's $500-million purchase of the auto-glass business of PPG Industries.

Year-to-date dealmaking remained stalled at $1.33 trillion.The value of deals at this time in 2006 was $1.04 trillion. Last week, the 52 deals reported amounted to a total value of $9.46 billion, up from $5.52 billion in the week ended Sept. 2, the year's previous weekly low.

BreitBurn Energy Partners LP to buy Michigan, Indiana, and Kentucky assets of Quicksilver Resources Inc. for $1.45 billion
Los Angeles-based BreitBurn, an oil and gas company, agreed to pay cash and stock for all the natural gas, oil, and midstream assets in the three states from Fort Worth, Texas-based Quicksilver Resources Inc. Terms call for BreitBurn will pay $750 million in cash, with the rest payable in 21.348 million BreitBurn’s shares, at $32.79 a share. BreitBurn reserved the right to increase the cash portion of the total consideration paid and reduce the number of common units issued at closing. The sale, expected to close in November, includes 5,400 producing wells and related gas-gathering and processing systems. Net production from the properties was about 75.4 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalents in the first half. The sale is in line with Quicksilver’s objectives of realizing value for mature assets. BreitBurn also executed a unit purchase agreement for a private placement of $450 million in equity securities, consisting of 16.67 million common units, with a group of 23 institutional investors. br> Seller financial advisor: JPMorgan

Goldman Economist: $2 Trillion Hit?

Tim Hanrahan | WSJ.com | November 16, 2007

Jan Hatzius, chief economist at [US]Goldman Sachs, made waves today with a note released last night that put possible credit losses from mortgage defaults at $2 trillion, due to leverage. Hatzius’s analysis have drawn attention before: back in March 2006, Hatzius said U.S. housing was overvalued by about 20%, based on historical relationships between monthly mortgage payments and median household incomes.

Here are highlights from Thursday’s note:
“Estimates of the likely credit losses on outstanding mortgages have grown sharply in recent months. A back-of-the-envelope calculation using past default experience in different home price environments now suggests losses of around $400 billion. … [O]ne sometimes hears that it is just equivalent to one bad day in the stock market. But this analogy is wrong.”

“f leveraged investors see $200 billion of the $400 billion aggregate credit loss, they might need to scale back their lending by $2 trillion. … This is a large shock. It corresponds to 7% of the total debt owed by US nonfinancial sectors (households, nonfinancial companies, and government).”

“Our conclusion is that the likely mortgage credit losses pose a significantly bigger macroeconomic risk than generally recognized.€
 
Re: USA: Where was the money invested

CDOs and SIVs would be a good guess .......

but ........ we can be sure it wasn't in Sudan , US sanctions have been in place there for yonks , their market has seen over 10% growth over the latest year ........

What is not in the news is that the Sudanese Central bank will only deal in Euros from Jan 1st and has advised all commercial banks to do so as well .

They've got oil and gas , so they are more than likely on the invasion , I mean takeover list for starters . This slap will be sure to get up the US admins nose and will land them a label , something like the axis of weasels .


Good buddies with China too , who imports the majority of the oil extracted , close to two thirds I believe , with the rest going to Asian areas etc. , they don't need the US consumer .

Whatever we may drag out of it , we can summise that this culture is growing and it would have to shed some new light on the Euro once again , so we can expect a brawl in the Euro ring .
