    a comment from bloomberg today “That expression neatly sums up the sense that massive deficit
    spending by governments is the only way to avoid a depression, but
    what irony, to apply more of the same “medicine” that Greenscam
    already administered to create the current mess. Quality corporate
    bonds are the flavour of the month (three months after we
    recommended them!). The Madoff scandal is hitting New York as a
    financial centre and hedge funds in general.”

    I think they will have to throw far more liquidity than they can imagine in order to control the OAS on mortgage collateral. It’s a huge market.
