In The Wall Street Journal today, Greg Ip writes: (subscription required) Since the credit crisis began last August, the Fed has expanded the volume and types of loans it is willing to make to banks and securities dealers — loans that are backed by a wide variety of collateral from subprime mortgages to student loans.

Morgan’s Cost for Bear Stearns Rescue Rises to $9 Billion May 15th, 2008 by Ryan Bakhtiari The union between Bear Stearns and J.P. Morgan recently got a little pricier. J.P. Morgan may end up spending $9 billion to fix the bad assets and losses on Bear Stearn’s balance sheet and cover the cost of litigation and layoffs resulting from the takeover. That total rose $3 billion from J.P. Morgan’s first prediction, though in the end it could vary up or down by as much as $1 billion.

There may be an intermediary deal where another bank purchases the failing bank for pennies on the dollar (see JP Morgan Chase’s bail-out of Bear Stearns), but there will not be a full bankruptcy.

In a matter of hours, British government bond prices plummeted. Rothschild, who had advance information, then swiftly bought up the entire market in government bonds, acquiring a dominant holding in England’s debt for pennies on the pound.

The New York-based bank may cut 4,000 jobs as it integrates its purchase of Bear Stearns (BSC) and slims its cost structure with the economy slowing, Bloomberg reports. The report, citing a person familiar with the situation, says half the job cuts may involve Bear Stearns staffers taking positions now filled by JPMorgan employees.
