Lehman and Goldman Sachs Borrow $$ from the Fed after hours
For What It's Worth User ID: 394988 United States 03/18/2008 08:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Lehman and Goldman Sachs Borrow $$ from the Fed after hours So Lehman Brothers (LEH) and Goldman Sachs (GS) announced great earnings this morning that helped drive the market to the moon today. Then had to borrow money from the Fed discount window after hours. WTF kind of game is being played? The few long positions I still hold will be sold into this “rally”. [LEH 46.49 14.74 (+46.43%) ], which reported better-than-expected earnings on Tuesday but has faced persistent rumors of a Bear Stearns-type liquidity crisis, plans to borrow from the Fed through the discount window. Lehman followed up on Callan's announcement by borrowing from the window within minutes of her appearance. At 5 p.m. New York time, Lehman borrowed $2 billion, sources said. Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs Group IncGS 175.59 24.57 +16.27% NYSE also used the discount window late Tuesday, sources said, but it wasn't clear how much money the investment bank asked for. Here is the discussion on the subject. A hard link to the CNBC announcement is about half way down. [link to www.tickerforum.org]

Stop using federal reserve dollars. They are poison.

There is no extra $700-800Billion just laying around the Gov for a rainy day. I know they are trading Treasury notes for poorly collateralized mortgage paper. But are they boosting the treasuries from Social Security or are they floating bonds? And if bonds, who the hell is buying them? Basically, where is the Gov accounting for this expenditure?

Market hysteria will soon turn to deep depression. The PPT, Fed, Treasury Ponzi scheme will collapse, today, tomorrow, next week, it's homeward bound.

Then all the dollars we own are immediately devalued. We need to elect Ron Paul to the Presidency . He will abolish the Federal Reserve, and return our currency to an asset-backed currency , like America had before 1913.Then we can be prosperous again, without these "moneychangers" bleeding us dry.

For What It's Worth User ID: 395453 United States 03/19/2008 08:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: Lehman and Goldman Sachs Borrow $$ from the Fed after hours Wilber Ross was on CNBC this morning and said they are borrowing the funds for an arbitrage play. So they are either lying about needing the money or they are arbitraging US tax dollars for a profit instead of using the cash to provide liquidity to the system. Anyone else but me have a fundamental problem with this? “Reality is all a figment of Wall Streets imagination. The rest of us don't count.”
