WatchmanOntheWall (OP) User ID: 722655 United States 08/28/2009 08:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | US banks lose $5.4b in Q2 WASHINGTON - THE US banking industry lost a collective US$3.7 billion (S$5.36 billion) in the second quarter amid heavy writedowns and provisions for bad loans, the government's insurance agency said on Thursday. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which insures bank and thrift deposits, said the sector swung to a loss compared with a profit of 4.8 billion dollars in the same period of 2008. 'While challenges remain, evidence is building that the US economy is starting to grow again,' said FDIC chair Sheila Bair. 'Banking industry performance is - as always - a lagging indicator. The banking industry, too, can look forward to better times ahead. But, for now, the difficult and necessary process of recognising loan losses and cleaning up balance sheets continues to be reflected in the industry's bottom line.' The FDIC's quarterly survey showed provisions for loan losses totaled US$66.9 billion, an increase of US$16.5 billion or 32.8 per cent over the second quarter of 2008. Losses stemming from writedowns of asset-backed commercial paper totaled US$3.6 billion, compared to writeoff of US$366 million a year earlier. At the end of June, there were 416 insured institutions on the FDIC 'problem list,' up from 305 on March 31 and the largest since 1994. Total reserves of the FDIC's insurance fund stood at US$42 billion at the end of the quarter. Funds set aside for its contingent loss reserve rose to US$32 billion as of June 30, reflecting higher actual and anticipated losses from failed institutions. Bair said the agency still had US$22 billion of cash and US Treasury securities available as of June 30, as well as the ability to borrow up to US$500 billion from the Treasury. 'A decline in the fund balance does not diminish our ability to protect insured depositors,' she noted. -- AFP [link to www.straitstimes.com] And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.

Obama's Spending Spree, Budget Numbers "Have All Gone Mad," Analyst Says Posted Aug 27, 2009 09:00am EDT by Heesun Wee in Investing, Products and Trends, Recession, Autos, Housing Related: ^DJI, ^GSPC, WMT, TGT, ROST When retail expert and all-around economy watcher Howard Davidowitz appeared on Tech Ticker in February declaring the worst was yet to come for the U.S. economy and that Americans' standard of living has changed permanently, our comment boards lit up. But surely with the latest rally off the March lows, bearish Davidowitz is more bullish, right? Not a chance. Look at your financial history books. Two of the biggest rallies of more than 40 percent occurred during the Great Depression, says Davidowitz of Davidowitz & Associates,a retail consulting and investment banking firm. "People were sucked in and ultimately were destroyed," he says. It's a warning to today's investors, who are hoping to extend the rally. Don't get Davidowitz started on the economy or fundamentals. "Barack Obama's numbers have all gone mad," Davidowitz says. The Obama administration recently announced the U.S. budget deficit will be $9 trillion during the next decade; $2 trillion higher than the original forecast. And, the proposed price tag for health-care reform? "Minimum $3 trillion," Davidowitz says. "One trillion? Are you kidding?" Stimulus binges? Roller coaster equity performance over years? Stubborn consumers holding out for sales as deflationary pressures loom over the recovery? Sounds like the U.S. economy is turning Japanese, Davidowitz says. Stock markets are manipulated!!!

WatchmanOntheWall (OP) User ID: 722655 United States 08/28/2009 12:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | FDIC bank insurance fund shrinking; concern grows as failures continue The fund stands at $10.4 billion, its lowest point since 1993. Some speculate that the agency will have to tap its line of credit or, worse, seek taxpayer money to cover expected future losses. By Jim Puzzanghera and E. Scott Reckard August 28, 2009 Reporting from Orange County and Washington - Today is Failure Friday, the grim point each week when federal regulators typically seize the latest round of most-troubled banks. Expect more bad news in the Fridays to come, even though the economy shows signs of improving. U.S. banks lost a combined $3.7 billion in the second quarter, and the 81 failures this year have reduced the federal fund that insures deposits to its lowest level since 1993, when the fiasco in the savings and loan industry was drawing to a close. Some analysts speculate that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. will have to tap its $500-billion line of credit or, worse, seek taxpayer money to cover expected future losses. Regardless of where the agency gets the rescue money, its chairwoman sought Thursday to reassure Americans that their deposits were in no danger. "The FDIC was created specifically for times such as these," Sheila C. Bair said. "Our resources are strong. Your insured deposits are safe." But that doesn't mean your bank is safe. The FDIC has opened a facility in Irvine where more than 400 employees, most of them newly hired, plan to work for three to five years closing banks in the western United States and disposing of their bad assets. The offices are in a 15-story tower that had sat empty since developer Irvine Co. completed it last year as part of the Irvine Spectrum complex. Bair warned of many more failures as banks move beyond the housing collapse to deal with problems caused by troubles in the commercial real estate market and the continued effect of high unemployment. That will keep regulators busy Friday evenings, a time they prefer for taking down failed institutions so they have the weekend to usher in new management and get branches ready to reopen Mondays. "Loans are going bad because people are losing their jobs or their businesses are closing down, or people aren't traveling and staying in hotels," Bair said. "Banks typically are a lagging indicator, so even as the economy rebounds, you'll probably still see a continuing increase in bank failures." James Chessen, chief economist for the American Bankers Assn., said that banks "are neither at the beginning nor the end of the problems presented by a difficult economy. They are in the middle, and significant challenges still remain." He stressed that 96% of banks were deemed "well capitalized" by regulators. But the FDIC has estimated that bank failures now through 2013 could cost its insurance fund about $65 billion. Many of those failures will come from banks the FDIC has identified as "problem institutions." That figure continues to swell -- to 416 in the second quarter from 305 in the first. It is the largest number of banks in danger of failing since 1994. Those problem institutions, which the FDIC does not publicly identify for fear depositors would rush to take out their money, had a total of $300 billion in assets. The amount of expected losses is troubling because the insurance fund, which covers accounts up to $250,000, has been depleted badly by earlier bank failures. The fund's balance plunged 20% in the second quarter to $10.4 billion. That was its lowest level since 1993 and came before 36 more banks collapsed this summer. At the end of June last year, the fund had $45.2 billion. To avoid tapping into its line of credit at the U.S. Treasury, the FDIC this year raised the assessments it charges banks to furnish the insurance backstop. Banks pay about $12 billion a year in premiums, and the increased assessments added nearly $6 billion in the second quarter. Bair said the fund was in better shape than it appeared. The FDIC has set aside an additional $32 billion to cover losses at banks expected to fail over the next year, she said. For example, the failure of Colonial Bank in Montgomery, Ala., this month was estimated to cost the FDIC $2.8 billion, but the loss was anticipated as part of money set aside for future failures and did not reduce the fund's level. Not all banks on the problem list fail. And when they do, they still have assets the FDIC can sell to cover some of the insured deposits. The 45 banks that failed through June 30 this year had a total of $35.9 billion in assets but are estimated to cost the insurance fund $10.5 billion. The agency now has $43.2 billion in assets from failed institutions that it is trying to sell. to continue reading pg.2 click on link: [link to www.latimes.com] And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ.
