FelixSalmon.com (Free subscription) | 18 hours ago

Last Friday, Jason Kelly put up a very funny blog entry about his launch of a pair of fictional 100x levered ETFs , with the ticker symbols SOAR and SINK: Kelly Capital will reset and relaunch the funds at the beginning of each trading day. The company is in talks with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) about the possibility of relaunching the funds after lunch should they go bust in the morning...

The AIG Bailout Is Still A Mystery Shrouded In Lies

Market Pipeline (Free subscription) | yesterday

Posted on the Business Insider by John Carney: Will we ever know why AIG was bailed out and why its credit default swap counterparties were made whole? When AIG first began to ask for a bridge loan from the Federal Reserve, the public was told that AIG wanted additional "liquidity" to avoid a ratings downgrade. This implied that AIG's problem was relatively modest, related only to a temporary...

Save, America -- By: Andrew Stuttaford

The Corner (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009

Leaving aside that whole paradox-of-thrift thing (and that's a big "leaving aside" at the moment), I don't think that there can be much doubt that this is a country that needs to reinvent a savings culture -- and fairly quickly. In an entertaining piece over at the Business Insider , John Carney and Joe Wiesenthal list some of the ways that government is discouraging people from doing just...

Giants losing at the Pro Bowl polls

The Blue Screen (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009

The Giants sent seven players to the Pro Bowl last season. But it doesn’t seem likely they’ll be able to duplicate that feat this year. In fact, in the first round of fan voting released today by the NFL, only one Giants player leads in the balloting at his position — punter Jeff Feagles. Worse, in the 19 separate position categories, only eight Giants players appear in the top five....

There's A Possibility Corzine Will Maybe Take Over At Bank Of America (Though Not If Dick Bové Has Anything To Say About It)

DealBreaker (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009

John Carney reports he's hearing that Jon Corzine's staff is "already prepping to take over at Bank of America." This strikes us as slightly premature on the staff's part, as, Carney goes on to say, "there haven't been any formal talks" between JSC and the Bank of America board. (Also: why would Papa Bear's employees, as in his employees while Governor, assume they'd be going with...

The Dilemma's Innovator

DMI Blog (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009

Friday's New York Times op-ed page contains a necessary, albeit anachronistic, criticism of the tax credit for first-time homebuyers, a "proposal" supported by Senator Chris Dodd. John Carney of ClusterStock and The BusinessInsider argues against extending and expanding the credit. Evidently, he didn't realize that Congress has already done just that: President Obama signed a bill into law...
