Suppose you have injected capital, then injected some more, and you are back where you started less than two months later.

Guess which one we are talking about.

Is it like poker? Can you just bluff?

What will Geithner do? How will Franks look at it?

Can you profit from the situation? How? What are the risks/rewards/timing?

Maybe adding capital is the wrong solution....


Maybe a forced split is required. Split it down until it is not too big to fail. Then it will either get bought, or fail.


Or maybe take capital out!


Works for automakers, too.

Split it up into individual product lines. The good ones survive, the bad ones fail. The chips fall where they may.

I think the TARP funds should have been used to pay off all first mortgages - that would free up an average of what, a grand a household per month at least - I would go shopping - might even buy some Prana.
