SoftBank and Soft Banks

The meteoric rise of technology sector equities has a lot to do with market manipulation by SoftBank and other players. Last week we saw a partial correction. ZeroHedge broke the story and did a follow-up.

Soft Banks are a problem too. The bill for the Fed's manipulation will come due.

Possibility of Negative U.S. Interest Rates

On September 11, 2019, President Trump tweeted:

"The Federal Reserve should get our interest rates down to ZERO, or less, and we should then start to refinance our debt. INTEREST COST COULD BE BROUGHT WAY DOWN, while at the same time substantially lengthening the term. We have the great currency, power, and balance sheet.....

....The USA should always be paying the the lowest rate. No Inflation! It is only the naïveté of Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve that doesn’t allow us to do what other countries are already doing. A once in a lifetime opportunity that we are missing because of 'Boneheads.'”


Lead Article in the Journal of Structured Finance

My article, “More Than One Million Reasons to Lie About Structured Finance,” is the lead article in the current Spring 2019 issue of The Journal of Structured Finance.
 
You may recall that the last time I wrote an article for JSF. It was for the Winter 2006 issue. It was also the lead article and was titled “The Elusive Income of Synthetic CDOs.” For many, it was a very long winter.
 
My finance classic, Structured Finance and Collateralized Debt Obligations was released by John Wiley & Sons in September 2008. It is an ongoing reference for lawyers, Congress, and students interested in both control fraud and legitimate instruments, applications, and hedging. It has just been re-released as a print replica eBook available only via Amazon for selected reading devices and as a trade paperback.
 
It’s funny to read the reviews of the first edition, mostly snark from “professionals.” The same people sang a different tune when the financial crisis hit and my analysis proved sound.
