Arguably showing that if right now the market is willing to rationally pay $30 for a security, even with the free put option that the government's willing to give, at most a rational investor who was willing to pay $30 is now maybe willing to pay $40 to $50.발음듣기
대기중
And that still won't meet the hurdle that the banks need in order to clear these assets off their books.발음듣기
대기중
Because, we've done it in a bunch of videos even when I did the videos on the first bailout, the TARP plan, that if they sell them for less than $60, that's the number you hear in a lot of the popular press, that the banks will essentially be insolvent.발음듣기
대기중
Now, there's the other scenario where, let's say we do see a bunch of trades where they are going for $60, $70, $80.발음듣기
대기중
And based on some of the arguments I've given in the previous video, I'd say well, the only rational person willing to pay $60-plus would be the banks themselves by creating some type of off balance sheet investor.발음듣기
대기중
Well, you can give a non-recourse loan to a hedge fund that you just created and that hedge fund then invests in them.발음듣기
대기중
And to somehow have an audit trail, almost every hedge fund in the world has some relationship with one of these major banks.발음듣기
대기중
So it would be almost impossible to disassociate the private investors from the major banks that are trying to offload these assets.발음듣기
대기중
But in this video I like to give Geithner and maybe even the plan a bit of a break, and give some credence to one of the arguments that they make.발음듣기
대기중
Right now, because of all of these assets going sour all at once, you have all of these forced sellers, right?발음듣기
대기중
And right now since all of the natural buyers are distressed, all of these banks are forcing to sell, all the hedge funds who used to own these things, they're all going bust.발음듣기
대기중
So the actual demand for these securities, the actual pool of money going after is very small.발음듣기
대기중
This is the reason why people are only willing to pay $30, because you have this illiquidity.발음듣기
대기중
That's the argument that we've heard time and time again about how $30 isn't the real price.발음듣기
대기중
That anyone who actually looked at what's in these, what have unfortunately been called toxic securities, probably because that's what they are.발음듣기
대기중
But anyone who looks at one of these securities and really looks inside of them will realize that these are worth way more than $30.발음듣기
대기중
That there will be some defaults but maybe they're really only worth $80 or $70 or $0.70 on the dollar.발음듣기
대기중
My argument, if is really the case, what the government should do instead of giving free put options to hedge funds to essentially subsidize the assets from banks.발음듣기
대기중
Or, even worse, allowing the banks to do kind of that scheme that I talk about in the second video where they can buy things from themselves and offload things on the taxpayer.발음듣기
대기중
What the government should do is really increase the transparency on these securities so that this pool of buyers becomes larger.발음듣기
대기중
Right now these securities, these are either collateralized debt obligations or mortgage backed securities.발음듣기
대기중
It's essentially a bunch of professional investors, most of whom have blown up in this credit debacle.발음듣기
대기중
What you do is you take the toxic assets, stick them in a company - this is some corporation - so then the toxic assets go there.발음듣기
대기중
The banks still have the assets on their balance sheet, but instead of having the assets directly they have the shares in this company.발음듣기
대기중
And the whole reason I'm doing this is and you can then take this company and float it on a traditional exchange.발음듣기
대기중
So just by doing that, that significantly increases the pool of investors who could invest in it, right?발음듣기
대기중
Right now the only people who could invest in it are people who are essentially bond investors.발음듣기
대기중
But the second problem, this is frankly the bigger problem with these assets, is that there's no transparency.발음듣기
대기중
The problem that happened over this last real estate boom is, not only did they give loans to people that they shouldn't have given loans to, but they sliced and diced them.발음듣기
대기중
They'll take a bunch of mortgages, they'll take millions of mortgages, put them in a corporate structure.발음듣기
대기중
Where this tranche gets paid off first, this tranche gets paid off second, and this tranche gets paid off last.발음듣기
대기중
The problem with these things is that the way that they sold them is that they went to Moody's or S&P and they said, hey, Moody's, give us a rating on these securities right here.발음듣기
대기중
And Moody's would say oh that's a AAA - and, well they wouldn't call that AAA, but they would say that's a B security.발음듣기
대기중
And everyone now knows that the only reason why Moody's gave the rubber stamp on it is because the same people who were structuring these things and making all the money off of these things were the same people who were paying Moody's.발음듣기
대기중
So the government, not only should it create these corporations so that you could essentially buy these assets without being a bond trader, you can just buy them on any exchange, what the government should do is hire a big team.발음듣기
대기중
And we're talking about billions or trillions of dollars here, so to hire a team that essentially puts up a website and lets us know what's in each of these securities.발음듣기
대기중
So what we can do is we can go to a website, type in ABCD, and it'll tell me exactly what is in that toxic security.발음듣기
대기중
I know a lot of people who are professional investors who are in a position, if they wanted to, to pull the trigger and even buy them in their current form.발음듣기
대기중
To some degree it's even hard to tell where a lot of the assets are sitting, in which of the tranches.발음듣기
대기중
They should have a map of the United States and they should say this security is for houses that are in upstate New York and in Florida, and its 30% upstate New York and X% Florida.발음듣기
대기중
But the crux of the issue here is that instead of having some opaque 800-page document that only a few people have access to and once they decide to parse through that thing they have to go to their local bond trader and invest in it that way,발음듣기
대기중
and then make it completely transparent what's in that toxic security so that anybody watching this video can say, you know what, I think this thing is actually worth $0.40 on the dollar, not $0.30 on the dollar.발음듣기
대기중
And then the government wouldn't be able to make this argument, and the banks wouldn't be able to make this argument that somehow that these are distressed sales.발음듣기
대기중
Because you would have a lot of people with real information, with real access to actually trading them, being able to price these securities.발음듣기
대기중
And then when you're forced to do a mark to market - First of all since each of these shares in this security will be trading on the New York Stock Exchange, you'll much more volume of the transactions.발음듣기
대기중
And then the mark to market that you'll be forced to do on these, essentially shares now, but it's the same thing right?발음듣기
대기중
But the mark to market on those will be much more accurate because you'll have much more volume.발음듣기
대기중
And then frankly if it turns out that these things really are worth $30, then we can let the banks fail and move on with our lives.발음듣기
