Bank of America to sell China bank stake for $8.3 billion
Quote:
I smell liquidity problems in the Chinese construction sector, otherwise they wouldn't have make such a decision - combined with the fact that Warren Buffett actually bought out some of their shares, I wonder if he is actually the one who directed this particular operation, or that the bank executives took his advice of doing so......

What's surprising is that Temasek is bidding for the BofA stake after having just sold HK$9.4 billion (US$1.2 billion) of CCB stock on July 5. Temasek is acting more short term than usual; it couldn't resist the substantial discount being offered by BofA. Quote:
The real worry is over the state of local-government finances, which Moody's claims to be understated by as much as US$540 billion. Beijing says there is no need to panic ("Total debt held by the central and local authorities is less than 50 per cent of the nation’s gross domestic product, 'far lower' than the debt levels seen in European countries."). Others beg to differ. I don't know who to believe any more. |

Sometimes even if you like the administration, it takes freaking forever to get a serious internal problem fixed. Even if it is getting people killed --

Interest rates are bound to rise (though maturity is nowhere in sight) for that one. CCB probably won't have much earnings IMO, but something tells me that them peeps working in there are not watching the potential black-coloured red markings on the Chinese balance sheets. Quote:

Seriously, Republicans? "Cut off poor peoples' welfare or we're not going to help hurricane victims?" Seriously? How can anyone take these buffoons seriously anymore? How can anyone possibly believe that they have anyone's best interests at heart other than their own?

It doesn't say that anywhere in the article. Please don't read into things like that, it give a poor impression.
it says they may have to cut something from somewhere to have enough money for immediate aid. I does not say were and it also says the request to cut things will likely be ignored.
