This is rather amusing. Note the Industry: Sovereign!

I note the nature of bid…”friendly”! Does this mean we actually wanted to buy this failed business model?

wish that were my bank account. i’ve always wanted to buy belize.
barry, since you’ve run a couple of these bloomberg screens recently, two comments. i like the fact that your screen grab is not a thumbnail, as zerohedge runs them (and a lot of them!). but these screens require some annotation, which zerohedge consistently fails to provide: screen shot with comment: “wow, look at that spike!” (“ok, tyler, what’s so remarkable about that spike? lots of other spikes in there” etc.). not all of us have a trading desk and a fed window, and these screens are both instructive and arcane.
really, is there anything more here than the usa is categorized as sovereign and tarp is categorized as friendly?

What’s so amusing about it? It would be amusing if the industry read: Bailout

How in the hell does this fit into “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Sad times for a diminished republic.

The US is TBTF. God will come to the rescue, preferably in the form of a large ARC which will take onboard all the Bankers in the world two by two and float them to the Middle East somewhere. Anywhere.
