200 BLN $ WRITE DOWNS LOOM -- JP MORGAN

Unread postby roccman » Mon 05 Nov 2007, 20:58:54

Total losses stemming from writing down the value of mortgage-linked securities could be as high as $200 billion, with financial institutions sitting on at least $60 billion in losses that have not yet been disclosed, JPMorgan said Monday...

Only 500 TRILLION left write down.

Cheers

Well, look at the positive side. With today's electronic economy and online banking, we won't have to wait as long for the central banks to inflate the money supply to patch over the write downs.

No lag for changing the currency printing presses over from $20 bills to $100 bills to $1,000 bills, etc. Just get used to adding more zeroes onto any financial transaction.

We'll all be millionaires soon. :P
