So you are proving your point by showing they have too many employees for their sales?

Blazin, I was just about to come in here and do my normal takedown of this drivel by posting their profit margin to go along with the meaningless revenue numbers....but these motherfuckers are averaging 20 cents on every dollar of revenue and cannot justify more headcount or safety precautions? I know a ton of other industries that would kill for those kinds of margins.

If you buy a 1.5% interest rate 10 year bond at 70c on the dollar, it’s the equivalent of buying a 10 year with around 5.3% interest rate. Obviously how long each bond has left and what not will effect this math some. Not what I’d invest in, but there’s plenty of reasons that places would buy them at an appropriate haircut I think.

Just about everything is a good buy at the right discount. I wonder what their MBS rates look like.

There are rumors the WH might try to declare that a single mid-sized bank closing (which happens more often than people think) is a "systemic threat" to the entire US financial system and use this emergency provision to backstop all the deposits. It would take a 2/3rds vote of the Fed board, Yellen, and someone else to try to pull it off. And of course, its still subject to a court action.

I feel like announcing that the entire financial system is at risk of collapsing is probably not the sort of messaging you want here. This is obvious not good, but with proper management I feel like we could get through this with minimal pain.

The government is in the business of selling fear. Without it, you have no use for them.

Don’t forget that their primary business is stealing money though.

2 hours to announce a deal before futures open. What happens if no deal?
Click to expand...
Futures are less of a concern in my opinion since markets are still closed. Asia opens in about 3.5 hours. Ideally they have something positive to announce before Asia opens.

Monday is going to be a Slaughter at Open, Worldwide.
If this is the catalyst, let the system be exposed to these institutions' failures.
All I need is market to MOASS my AMC & GME - I Believe.

Despite the complete collapse of the global banking system, including several dozen companies not being sure if they might have to delay paying some suppliers till Thursday instead of Monday to make payroll, the futures are green.

What is a boner bar? Is it a bar I can rest my boner on or is it a bar that serves boners?
