The car companies did the same thing, but not with share buybacks. The car companies spent their billions on employee buyouts of $70,000 – $120,000 each.

Investors in India already worry on the newses on the collapse of major US financial firms, Merrill and AIG (American International Group Inc.) put them to utter panic on lose of there money invested through DSP Merrill Lynch Mutual funds and Tata-AIG. Still most of them doesn’t have any idea about the future of there investments. Here is the exact story on how these collapses impact Indian investors.
To cool the mind of all Indian investors invested through DSP Merrill Lynch and AIG, “Your investments are very safe”.
Banking circles says the Lehman-Merrill Lynch effect will be minimal for the banking sector in India.
DSP Merrill Lynch investors are no need to worry because, DSP Merrill Lynch has very little to do with Merrill Lynch because, they have sold there share to BalckRock’s, an another eminent financial firm, US arm by January 2008. It clearly saying that the money invested in the DSP Merrill Lynch has no link with Merrill Lynch’s global company.

The Merrill people will make out like bandits-just heard that financial planners with Merrill will be looking at a 300-400k bonus in November to stay on with Merrill/Bof A to keep the investors. Really… a bonus that big when everyone else is losing their shirts. I bet the investors that employ the financial planners would love to know that their planner is taking a huge bonus while their portfolios are in the tank!!! Apparently the robbery on Wall Street continues

Good stuff Mark, you obviously have an excellent understanding in this area. My question is this; when these companies are ramping up their balance sheets with loads of debts from consumers that we can reasonably assume are not going to make good on these debts, shouldn’t it be time to take your equity position out of said company as well? I would be hard pressed to think that a good deal of people didn’t expect this little house of cards to come down at some point. There are tons of excellent financial institutions that one could own that have taken on far less of a debt load in relation to the US housing boom, I would think that they would make far wiser investments. But I suppose hindsight is 20/20.

Keep up the good work sir!

Mark,

Financial education has gone from something that was a good to have
to a pressing need. I think our high school curricula ought to have
at least a year of financial education and planning. Main street
folks have no idea of what they are getting into with investment firms,
mutual funds, insurances, and all that. Plus, no one has a clue
to how to manage their money in their limited time frame, and what to
expect from it… Many are getting fleeced by their own greed and
opportunists…
Some people I know took a second mortgage in their home to put money
into risky mutual funds, or even investment advice from Lehman. Are they
greedy people? Maybe. But for sure, our government has said that “we
have to make our own money”, so I am not sure how morally wrong these
people were… On the other hand they were stupid, because they were
not aware at the delicate complexities of the financial markets.

James Dimon(CEO JPMORGAN) and Richard Fuld(Lehman CEO) both sit on the board of the Federal Reserve. If this is not a conflict of interest I do not know what is. http://www.webofdebt.com/articles/lehman_brothers.php
Rumor has it that JPM was actually running insolvent so they purchased assets of Bears at a bargain price. This situation reminds me of how Putin nationalizes businesses in Russia and has made over 54 Billion. Pray for electronic money.

This video sums it all up.
