I normally get great satisfaction from hunting stops of the muppets. Does not feel the same when it is one of the bastards on the receiving end.

You and I have been talking for months about swaps, and here we are...
And the timing just couldn't be more perfect:

"September 15, 2008 was the date of Lehman’s demise. "

And gator, notice that's Alan Grayson, progressive, and last election special Tea Party target. This is the kind of thing that is going to find the Chairman with few defenders or friends, other than the Keynesian shills and pundits.

where did the liquidity problem, come from? this is absurd.. who would have ever envisioned this?
who would of thunk?...
...I understand your anger and I must admit that you have been one of the few (the only one) that consistently have say it out loud (since I remember in FF) . Well there are so many things that they don't make rational sense in the world economy that its hard to pinpoint this as a unique case.

From a strictly rational and economics point view you are 100% right and I even dare to say that the markets should cut the crap with the US (and all other) too before is too late with the irrational deficits and macroeconomic mismanagements (e.g printing money beyond monetary policy justification) that can put the whole world back to medieval ages if they burst....

To be fair to Bernanke, he refers to the final quarter of 2007, at which point the crisis in interbank liquidity was firmly underway. Remember the ECB's huge liquidity injection at the start of August that year, due to frozen money markets? This gunshot, for many, signaled the start of the crisis.

It goes without saying that the causes predate this event...

its not a fair or unfair issue. its who knew what when. when stock markets were at their highest because your house doubled in price. it was bs... they just made your dollar worth less. just as it was bs for the 1.6 euro.. a slide of hand to fool sheep.

All the information, warning signals, were out there for all to see in August 2007, prior to the Q4 to which Bernanke refers: the freezing of money markets; ballooning TED spread; dysfunctional LIBOR; Northern Rock blowing up in the UK etc.... Actually, HSBC, in very public fashion, flagged up the problems with sub-prime mortgages in Feb 2007, which caused a sharp, albeit temporary, sell-off in equities.

The stock markets reached their highest, as you say, mainly due to the Fed embarking on a rate-cutting cycle in the fall of 2007. Investors foolishly believed this would solve the crisis (don't bet against the Fed and all that) and business-as-usual would resume...
