The DDR deal, the first CMBS deal after nearly eighteen months, was ten times oversubscribed. The following two deals also saw good demand even though they did not allow for TALF financing.

I have never heard so much whining and crying and complaining about a market drop as I have the past few weeks.

Linus Wilson submits:

Bloomberg reports that the imperial bailout CEO is back. It is insulting that John Thain will be given the reins of another public company. Especially a company, CIT Group, that handed taxpayers the largest loss of the bank bailouts save American International Group (AIG).

John Thain used his crony capitalism connections with the Secretary of Treasury Hank Paulson to pass of his bankrupt company on Bank of America's (BAC) shareholders. In 1999, John Thain led a coup at Goldman Sachs that elevated Hank Paulson to Goldman Sachs CEO and pushed his mentor John Corzine onto the voters of New Jersey and out of the top job at Goldman Sachs. In 2008, Thain sold a bankrupt company with $27.6 billion in losses, Merrill Lynch, to Bank of America.
