glad you boys made it back
"i think common divi requires payment of pfd divis. i do not know if the divi must be made current. i doubt it. i am no longer able to read prospectii, but i am pretty certain some schedule of pfd divi(the non-cume issue) must be met before any money can go to common. pfd divi is in the range of 2B a year, as i recall. 8% divi to fnmas and the like are going to bump the pfds right up there, and the commons will continue to suck wind. "
Since the preferreds are non-cum, will the dividends really be paid for the last 4 years? I don't think so.
not me, it's been over run by spammers, I don't have the time to tread through so much garbage to fine a good post or two.
look at the upswing, the market is liking it
I was only looking at lehnq
Jersey, just the same yahoo shows no volume, no change, what's with that?
with all this volume, is the price up?
went through where, I don't see it on etrade.
Short term capital gains, if you make $1, 20 cents goes to tax, long term capital gains, 15 cents goes to tax. Last I heard anyway, it could have changed.
Last I thought, under 1 year was 20%, over 1 year was 15%
take a look at fmckp, up 45c to 3.00
Stock exchange will open tomorrow. Gotta be bloody.
You think our preferreds are safer with Romney than with Obama?
Was sure glad to wake up this morning without the sound of wind.
Not on the water in Arlington, but a neighbor's tree fell to within 20 feet of where I was sitting inside my house. No power. Weekend house is waterfront not far from the bay, if I can get my truck out of the driveway, will go check out and see how it did. I don't feel bad at all considering what happened in other states.
The howling wind and rain just will not let up. It's supposed to go all night long. Old Arlington is filled with end-of-life jumbo oak trees, all with their leaves still on.
freaking nasty here. comes in waves, intense at times.
It's just weird that fmckj and fnmas are only 75 cents away from the 50s
I think we're going to see a huge market drop on Monday. This is a damaging expensive storm coming in
"What a trip it would be to see those Q's drop before the Archstone IPO and to once again trade on a major exchange. "
Do we have a date for the Archstone IPO?
"I think we are getting there"
I just don't want it to take another 4 fricking years.
That's bs. Obama can't get rid of Demarco.
"In the CT's sub note prospectus, it says that the sub note will be subrogated to other financial obligations until the sub notes principal and interest are paid in full. "
So what does all this fancy talk mean anyway?
"In the CT's sub note prospectus, it says that the sub note will be subrogated to other financial obligations until the sub notes principal and interest are paid in full. "
So what does all this fancy talk mean anyway?
yep. fmcct is leading the way up again.
"Also I don't think it was a coincidence that Archstone will have 49 million prefered shares for issue and that are 49 million CTs."
So then the question here is will the Archstone shares be valued at $25. Anything above $25 (or $33 if you want to roll past dividends into the share price) is extra gravy for us.
There's too many spammers on yahoo fnmas and fmckj.
"600,000 shs. FMCKI:
in the last couple of minutes."
That's not day traders.
LD, why is everyone so excited? I seem to have missed news.
Isn't this common stock they're talking about, and not preferreds or CTs?
I like this phrase in the article "And the time to start is now"
btw, fmccp is up 50 cents
Have we ever seen it go up this fast?
FMCCO up 25 cents already this morning.
"i can see boss scalia interpeting the 5 fifth,"nor
shall private property be taken for public use, without just
compensation.""
I hope this is what they keep in mind.
One of these days will find the last run up, then the outcome. Never know which run up it will be. Although, this one could be it.
" (Note: I do believe they will pay the remaining 19.6B before an IPO and paying CT holders in order to comply with bankruptcy code) and they will do this fairly quicky. "
You would think they would do this before Dec 31 to get the tax write-off this year.
"Can preferreds be considered as cancelled then?"
Looks like they will let us know on Epiq about mid March
" I dont think CTs were sent out anything. You might want to clear that with the other board members"
I only have CTs and did not receive anything.
Let's just see how much pressure Millstein can apply to congress. It's no nonsense and uses the word NOW. This is his approach: "Treasury should suspend the cash sweep so that Fannie and Freddie can retain those fees and build up capital" and further he says to convert sr preferreds to common and sell so that tax payers get their money back.
Taint, I'll take any move upward I can get.
