Goldman may be showing the same cut-throat ruthlessness<\/a> in its personnel policy as it shows in its customer relations:<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said the U.S. fraud case against the firm hinges on the actions of the employee it placed on paid leave this week.<\/p>\n

Fabrice Tourre, the 31-year-old Goldman Sachs executive director who was accused of misleading investors about a mortgage-linked investment in 2007, will also be de-registered from the Financial Services Authority, a spokeswoman at the firm in London said yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all going to be a factual dispute about what he remembers and what the other folks remember on the other side,\u201d Greg Palm, Goldman Sachs\u2019s co-general counsel, said in a call with reporters yesterday, without naming Tourre. \u201cIf we had evidence that someone here was trying to mislead someone, that\u2019s not something we\u2019d condone at all and we\u2019d be the first one to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n

By characterizing the case as a dispute involving a single employee, Goldman Sachs may be taking its first steps to publically distance itself from Tourre in the case, some lawyers said. That could reduce bad publicity and ultimately make it easier for the company to settle the case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Very surprising, if true. Regulatory announcements and responses are generally well-orchestrated, with all parties concerned knowing what’s going to happen by the time an issue becomes public; but after two days of honourable conduct by management, it loos like Tourre’s being thrown to the wolves.<\/p>\n

There are rumours that Tourre has agreed to testify<\/a> to a US Senate panel; there is no word on whether anybody from, you know, the Selection Agent will be asked any questions like, f’rinstance: why did you agree to buy this stuff?<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Rabobank has sued Merrill<\/a> regarding similar allegations, which seems to me to be an admission that Rabobank is completely incapable of evaluating a potential investment.<\/p>\n

Paulson has addressed investor concerns<\/a> regarding the issue. In 2007, Paulson wasn’t seen as a member of the Savvy Investor Club (I presume they didn’t have enough employees from the right schools) and the Smart Money was more than happy to bet against them:<\/p>\n

Mr. Paulson sent a letter to investors Tuesday night saying that in 2007 his firm wasn’t seen as an experienced mortgage investor, and that “many of the most sophisticated investors in the world” were “more than willing to bet against us.”
…<\/b>
On the conference call, Mr. Paulson calmly explained the trade with Goldman, which involved a “short” bet on mortgage bonds. He said that the very nature of the transaction required both a “long” and “short” investor, suggesting that investors knew that a bearish investor had bet against the deal.<\/p>\n

Mr. Paulson suggested to clients that the large investors who purchased the Goldman deal and others relied on rating firms, and didn’t do enough of their homework, investors say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those of you who don’t understand the whole Goldman \/ ACA \/ Paulson \/ Rabobank \/ Merrill \/ regulators \/ government thing, here’s a helpful graphic illustrating the financial world in mid-2007:<\/p>\n

The spread on Greek bonds<\/a> hit an all-time high:<\/p>\n

The yield on the Greek 10-year bond surpassed 8 percent today, the highest in more than a decade and more than twice the comparable German rate. The spread, or difference between the security and bunds, Europe\u2019s benchmark government securities, climbed to an all-time high of 521 basis points.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is all happening as US debt issuance is cresting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The U.S. Treasury may sell an unprecedented $128 billion in notes next week as expectations increase that the amount of securities auctioned by the government is peaking with the economy strengthening.<\/p>\n

The U.S. will sell $44 billion in two-year notes, $42 billion in five-year securities, $32 billion in debt maturing in seven years and $10 billion in five-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, according to the average estimate of nine primary dealers in a Bloomberg News survey. The $118 billion in nominal debt matches a record. The U.S. will announce the amounts tomorrow for the auctions conducted over four days beginning April 26. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good interview on the Queers Against Israeli Apartheid thing<\/a> that was mentioned yesterday<\/a>; at best – at absolute best – this is a cat-fight between competing visions of the Pride Parade, in which city bureaucrats have been stupid enough to become involved. It’s strictly an internal matter for Pride. In fact, the Pride parade ceased to have much to do with Gay Pride years ago – nowadays it’s a celebration of sex, the kinkier the better. Ah, to be twenty again! Not that this little news-stream has much to do with finance, of course, but I reserve the right to go off on tangents occasionally whenever I find something particularly annoying.<\/p>\n

It was a very rough day for the Canadian preferred share market, with PerpetualDiscounts losing 60bp and FixedResets down 83bp (!) bringing the median weighted average yield on the latter index up to 4.38%, a level not seen since the beginning of July, 2009. Volume was exceptionally high and the Volume Highlights table is split equally between FixedResets and PerpetualDiscounts.<\/p>\n

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 6.26%, equivalent to 8.76% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.4x. Long Corporates<\/a> now yield about 5.7% (maybe just a little more?) so the Pre-Tax Interest-Equivalent Spread (also called the Seniority Spread) is now about 305bp, up substantially from the 295bp reported April 14<\/a> and pushing the high of 310bp reported April 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
