MBIA AMBAC Shares Tell the Future
2008-03-19 01:44:00 ...these two stocks fell 93 percent on average, in a matter of months?.The past few weeks have provided plenty of fireworks and sideshows on Wall Street, culminating yesterday with the news that the Fed served as the lender of last resort to Bear Stearns by financing JPMorgan Chase's purchase of the crippled securities firm. The Fed followed up today, March 18, by dropping its benchmark interest rate 3/4 of a percentage point to 2.25 percent. And the Dow shot up 420 points. But while these fireworks were going off, the sideshow of bond insurers, Ambac and MBIA, kept playing on. Bob Prechter sees an important story in the shape of the price charts of these two companies. In his latest Elliott Wave Theorist, he discusses how the action of their stocks offers a broad hint of what may come for many stocks as inflation gives way to a steep and rapid deflation.

I can't stress how important the failure of MBIA and Ambac will be. You'll
2008-01-18 22:44:00 Think about it this way. Most of you have insurance - for health, your car, your possessions or your home. Assume something bad happened and you needed your insurance company to pay up, and when you went to them for your settlement, they wouldn't answer the phone, and you were on your own. Welcome to Ambac and MBIA. They insured the debt of the cities of the United States. And now they're going belly up, and the cities will have a tough time funding new projects and issuing new debt. And $700 billion of insured debt is now walking across the grand canyon without a net. And now a whole new round of "mark-to-market" will need to happen at the financial institutions that are already on the brink of failure. I just heard Cramer on MSNBC say that when these two fail, "they won't be able to open the market" and a 2,000 point drop in the Dow was likely. Wow.The whole leveraged house of cards is collapsing HP'ers, piece by piece. Believe it or not, we're still just getting star...

Shares of Ambac Drop as Buffet Starts Up Bond Insurer
2007-12-29 14:52:00 Shares of Ambac dropped by more then 13% Friday, after news hit that Berkshire Hathaway announced plans to insure bonds. This comes at a time when current bond insurers are under scrutiny over concerns that they do not have enough reserve capital to cover all the potential losses related to bonds with relation to subprime mortgages.
Jim Cramer says if bond insurers MBIA and Ambac aren't bailed out, the bank
2007-12-24 01:48:00 So yes, they'll get bailed out, even if that means wiping out their shareholders. That will stop the banks from having to mark to market their CDO cancer for another few weeks or months.But eventually, as sure as night turns into day, some of the banks will have a come-to-jesus moment (auditors anyone? SEC anyone? Sarbanes Oxley anyone?), and they will fail or be taken over for a song. And the most toxic of the toxic lenders - Countrywide, IndyMac, WaMu and First Fed - will be amongst the first. (I'm short WaMu and should be short a lot more of these houses of mortgage fraud).Here's Cramer's highlights. Love him or hate him, he knows what's going on out there, and he's using his platform to try to influence the bail-out-players now (like he did with his Fed rant). Bottom line - watch for the Saudis, Kuwaitis and hell any old Arab with coin to come riding in on a pale horse to bail out these turds. ABK, MBI Need -- and Will Find -- CapitalSo let's go find some bailout mo...

Cetatea - Pambac, derbiul Seriei I
2007-11-02 15:10:00 Liga a III-a Judecând prin prisma locului ocupat de Pambac în clasament, partida de astăzi de pe Areni poate fi catalogată drept cel mai dificil examen al Cetăţii din acest sezon. „Pare a fi un meci mai important, pentru că întâlnim formaţia de pe poziţia secundă. Acest lucru însă nu reprezintă o presiune suplimentară pentru noi. Am mare încredere că jucătorii se vor mobiliza la maximum şi vor trece şi de acest hop. Despre băcăuani ştiu că alcătuiesc o echipă masivă şi experimentată, care încearcă să speculeze în special fazele fixe. Chiar şi aşa însă, nu cred că sunt în stare să ne pună probleme deosebite”, a declarat plin de optimism antrenorul principal al FC Cetatea, Marian Pană. Cei mai cunoscuţi fotbalişti de la Pambac sunt uriaşul portar Ursachi, al cărui tată a apărat în trecut şi buturile CSM-ului, dar şi Bolfă şi Petcu, jucători care au evoluat ani mulţi în primul eşalon pentru FCM Bacău sau FC Naţional.

AMBAC, FGIC, May Need More Capital If Subprime Losses Worsen
2007-09-25 21:03:00 From BloombergSept. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Bond insurers, including those owned by AMBAC Financial Group Inc. and FGIC Corp., may need to raise capital to maintain their top credit ratings if losses worsen on subprime mortgage securities, Moody's Investors Service said.Under what Moody's called its most stressful scenario, losses on securities backed by subprime mortgages could reach 14 percent, causing AMBAC, FGIC, Security Capital Assurance Ltd. and CIFG Assurance North America Inc. to fall short of the capital needed to keep their Aaa ratings. The most likely source of losses would be from guarantees on collateralized debt obligations, which may be backed by subprime mortgage securities. The stress test is higher than Moody's expected loss rate of 10 percent under which the guarantors experience no material losses.``Because ratings are so important to the industry's value proposition, the rating agency believes that a highly rated financial-guarantor with a strong ongoing franchis...

Sambacana - VI Sambacana | Praca da Savassi (1979)
2007-03-08 18:31:01 Gentleman, what a nice work I had right now with Trix, a Loronixer from Minas Gerais, my favorite state in Brazil, first place is Rio de Janeiro, of course. We worked together exchanging more than 50 emails to decide for this post. I have to admit that Trix put some passion on top of it. This record is all about Minas Gerais and Belo Horizonte. Anyway, thanks Trix for supporting this crazy and painful process, I'm sure Loronixers will have a lot to tell about this LP.This is Sambacana - VI Sambacana | Praca da Savassi (1979), no label. Trix said this LP is a very limited release made commercially available only in Minas Gerais. Sambacana is lead by Pacifico Mascarenhas, which is a group that you already know at Loronix with some previous releases. Loronix Find It is the right place look for earlier Sambacana releases at Loronix. Well. It's late down here, Trix has disappeared with the additional info and he will probably give us tomorrow some inside information about this session....
