1/13    Well whaddya know, TARP is working

        \_ it depends on what you mean by "working".  the trend lately has been
           away from using libor-ois or other inter-bank metrics as a measure
           of credit issues as it impacts real economies.
           \_ he means "working (for my personal benefit)", duh.

www.calculatedriskblog.com/2009/01/credit-crisis-indicators-ted-spread.htmlThis is far lower than the record (for this cycle) of 586 after Thanksgiving, but still way too high. This is the spread between high and low quality 30 day nonfinancial commercial paper. Right now quality 30 day nonfinancial paper is yielding close to zero. If the credit crisis eases, I'd expect a significant further decline in this spread - although this is good progress. "Fund of Funds Are a Cancer" Blogroll: I'm going to try to limit the sites on the blogrolls below going forward. Here are the critieria for inclusion: 1) be an active housing or economics analysis site. There should be more analysis than selling of a product or service. And the sites should be oriented towards housing or economics (as opposed to say stock trading or other topics) 2) Provide a link to my blog on the front page. If you'd like to have your site added, please send me an email with "Blogroll" in the subject. Please specify the site title and URL, and the topic (housing or economics). Please be patient - I only add sites once a month or so.
