    Besides the fact that they are not coding experts (and are using asp/microcrap) I think it's their advertising implementation that is crippling their boards. I bet they were trying to implement new ad formats again.

  • Bernoulli's Credit Crunch Thoughts

    First:   The FED extended the borrowing time to 28 days.  I have mentioned, prior to them actually having done so, that I felt that was key to economic recovery.   Second they extended the discount window to allow investment banks direct access ( at least for the next six months ) this is a much bigger deal than many realize as the investment bankers are no longer dependent on a depository bank to act as a conduit between the discount window and themselves.  ( next paragraph)

    investment banks ( LEH, GS, BSC, MER, etc. )  borrow from the discount window directly.

    1.   Liquidity for investment bankers  is no longer an issue, ( at least for the next six months ); I hope the FED makes this policy equal to the existing depository banks rules ( the six month thing is a trial period, as long as everything works out, my guess is, they will.

    2.   Number 1 above effect is to a.) remove selling pressure off the CDOs and the ABCP which has been flooding the market with excessive supply thus driving down the prices associated with those assets.   In other words the investment bankers were willing to sell those assets for almost anything in order to achieve liquidity.  That should not be a problem in the future as the FED is willing to accept any and all of those assets ( including subprime ) as collateral for a 28 day loan.

    3.  #2 above also removes pressure for existing funds as the investment banks no longer need to go to the money markets for funds.

    Yeah, I mean ultimately what we are trying to determine is (approximately) when aapl turns. What you do at that point can vary widely.
