seems everyone thinks the bill sucks, and the majority of Americans want reform (similar to health care), so why can't we get some simple common-sense shit passed? As for the article, in theory it makes sense that balance sheets should/do reflect reality (the financial position of the firm at any point in time), but I guess I have some concerns about mark-to-market and how some assets should be accounted for. That said, off balance sheet transactions like the Repo shit should in my opinion be put on the BS, and I think E&Y is in deep shit for what happened at Lehman. -
majorsparkI think many people will have trouble just getting past the name Dodd on the bill. Many believe Dodd should be behind bars in a Federal prison. This is like the fox proposeing reform to the rules governing the hen house. Dodd has little credibility.
