“As we know, there are known knowns;
there are things we know we know. We
also know that there are known unknowns;
that is to say there are some things we do
not know. But there also unknown
unknowns – which are the things we don’t
know we don’t know.”
“Nothing made any sense and neither did everything else.”
Joseph Heller, Catch 22.
Concerns about the Bailout

Rush to Judgment…
Who? How? When? Where? and What?
Americans assume this will “avert recession”
Precedent setting “commitment”
Unintended consequences (taxes, local banks)
Asset values still unknown
Government raises the debt ceiling to $11.3T
Accountability for “Congress”? (Fox in hen house)
Economic Stabilization Act
•
•
•
•
Restore stability to America’s financial system
Restore lending by financial institutions
Avoid outright panic
Avoid massive foreclosures and avert a steeper
recession/depression.
• Could end up a net plus for the “taxpayer”
• Regulation on future predatory lending practices

Summary

Global view: “North America” is in trouble; Europe’s
growth is slowing. Japan is as well. Other global
economies (BRIC) are showing signs of weakening and
expected to follow this downward slope in 2009.

Prolonged cyclical event, projected to extend 2010

Caution against linear projections. Maintain a strong cash
position. Avoid large capital expenditures that do not
translate into market share gains.

Another word for Recession…
