State Dem. convention is Saturday, 10 May, in Salt Lake City.
Sorry for going off thread, but this is a bombshell.
Some may remember how a few days ago I mentioned that were banks to accurately assess the value of their mortgage assets, which are selling at 15 to 60 cents on the dollar now, they would almost all be bankrupt, as would be many pension funds, and I showed an article where many "cash" bank accounts in Canada for one, have been frozen. Now, some people holding “cash” accounts in Switzerland are being told they can withdraw, but their account is being marked down up to 20%, for starters. It is total corruption, total fraud.
And today, the Bush SEC issued a rule to banks telling them they can now legally lie.

And Here
“Level 3” assets are those assets that are so impaired nobody wants them, so there is not a market for them, so the bank can’t come up with a price they think is “fair", because the market price is only 15 cents on the dollar. So the banks have been simply ignoring the market price of their assets. Will the bankers soon be arrested for this fraud? Heck no! The SEC just issued this rule so banks can lie legally! Mission Accomplished!
“Only when actual market prices, or relevant observable inputs, are not available is it appropriate for you to use unobservable inputs which reflect your assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Current market conditions may require you to use valuation models that require significant unobservable inputs for some of your assets and liabilities.”
Many banks have more “Level 3” assets than their entire book value! Now, guess who gets to decide whether to use “unobservable inputs” to price the banks assets? The banks, of course! Their assets can be priced based on “your assumptions.” If no one wants to buy your subprime mortgages, just carry them on your book at full value! Problem solved! The banks are in the clear now since they can price their assets however they want.
When you're bankrupt, just lie, and go on as usual! Whew, that was a close call!
Got food?
March 28 – Financial Times (Roel Landingin): “Philippine fast-food chains are to begin offering half servings of rice in a move to help the government ease demand for the staple and avert a possible shortage with global rice inventories sitting at 25-year lows. Jollibee Foods, the country’s biggest restaurant chain… said its operations managers were planning how to implement the plan… McDonald’s is also considering serving half portions in more than 250 stores.
March 27 – The Wall Street Journal (Lauren Etter and Scott Patterson): “A fault line is emerging in the U.S. farm economy, as rising grain prices and the credit crunch combine to squeeze grain elevators, a crucial business link between farmers and markets. Grain elevators that collect grains from farmers and sell them up the food chain have seen their costs of doing business balloon as prices of corn, wheat, soybeans and other grains have soared to record levels. At the same time, lenders chastened by the subprime mortgage crisis have grown increasingly reluctant to extend money to tide the elevators over. Some elevators already have gone out of business… If many more elevators fold, there could be a cascading financial impact on banks and financial institutions that manage futures accounts for elevators. ‘We could have an explosive problem on our hands,’ says Diana Klemme, vice president at Grain Service Corp…”
Come on over to the Democratic convention. We don't bite. We don't even make ya sign your soul away to be with us. Like the republicans do.
We just want your good ideas.
However if your a racists. Go to hell! Sadly most of them are elected Republicans.
Ahem. Come on, Rudi, where else would the Utah Democratic State Convention be held but the Cal Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City.
Are you sure the Republican state convention is at Utah Valley State College ? Didn't BYU-Lite recently become Utah Valley State University? Typical of Republicans to be behind the times on Utah news....
Of course, if Truth in Advertising rules applied to convention sites, you guys would have to hold yours at the HQ of the Utah Realtors Association....
I understand Chris Kyler will be presiding with Bryan Kohler and Michael Ostermiller making introductory speeches on behalf of Huntsman, Valentine, Curtis, Bramble, Neiderhauser, Killpack and crew. Froerer will be a doorstop if all his family member delegates prop him up again.
All expenses paid by the Utah Realtor's Association of course.
