An expert from Barclays advises and predicts. How much did they lose in subprime again?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -
Maybe he's right. Wouldn't that be nice?

If he's right it's very bad news. The assumption then would be that the current financial model ( excessive lending, living off credit) is sustainable and that no great consequences accrue from such behaviour.
Plus house prices haven't fallen by nearly enough ...
However as I mentioned in a thread a few days ago, I have a feeling he may be right, but for all the wrong reasons - never in history has so much money been thrown at a downturn. This is not a natural business/consumer driven recovery.
So it will just lead to further problems down the line.Last edited by sasguru; 26 March 2009, 09:48.Hard Brexit now!

It would be bad news in so much as, if we get away with it this time, we are only saving it up to be worse further down the line.
More likely we are just into the "Bull Trap" phase of the bubble cycle.

Good analogyThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

They don't know how big the bill is going to be, but they know it is going to be big and are dreading the moment it lands on the doormat because they are not sure that they are going to be able to pay it.Comment
