A couple of excerpts from the Coxe call:
"The maneuvers which were announced were very creative. This special Treasury auction as a means of deflecting attention from banks who have to borrow at the discount window and giving longer term payouts as a result by bidding anonymously at an auction. And the fact that these other central banks are involved reflects something else, which was fascinating to me, was that one of the big squeezes that was going on in Europe, in the ECB zone and in London was a shortage of Dollars to roll over dollar assets. And that was one of the props to the Dollar oddly enough. When we were interested that the Dollar wasn’t going down as much as we had expected in response to all the bad news about the US economy and the US financial system, but, everybody…and Arthur Gray made this point in the call a couple of weeks ago – that everybody was short the Dollar but when they needed to roll over some of their positions, oddly enough the poor beleagured greenback got a sqeeze.
So it illustrates that although you can get some idea of longer term trends, a short squeeze can cause problems in the very short term. Does this mean the Dollar’s about to start a new bull market? Absolutely not. But it indicates that players out there who are levered by definition, ten, twenty, thirty to one, can get themselves into temporary squeezes, against the long-term trend."
and...
"Overall then, the financial crisis does not seem to have been resolved by these activities. And one thing that's noteworthy is that despite all of the activities that the central bankers have done, the monetary base in the US has not been growing. In other words what's been done has been repos and other special short term events which don't actually add to the monetary base. And ultimately if the monetary base doesn't grow that's a constraint on inflation which would indicate that Ben Bernanke is still using mechanisms where he's not doing what predecessors did like Miller and Burns who expanded the monetary base dramatically and added to inflation and got it all the way up to 13%. How long he will be able to use these, in effect off balance sheet mechanisms, to prevent a credit implosion is not clear. I think we should all shed a tear for Ben Bernanke. I still believe that he's a great upgrade on his predecessor but he may be running out of stratagems other than printing money.
Meanwhile as for gold we still think it's a terrific asset class in this environment. So we'll reiterate that the commodity groups that you can still feel great about, notwithstanding everything we've told you, are the agriculturals, the precious metals, then the oils.

How Goldman Won Big On Mortgage Meltdown
A Team's Bearish Bets
Netted Firm Billions;
A Nudge From the CFO
By Kate Kelly
December 14, 2007; Page A1
The subprime-mortgage crisis has been a financial catastrophe for much of Wall Street. At Goldman Sachs Group Inc., thanks to a tiny group of traders, it has generated one of the biggest windfalls the securities industry has seen in years.
The group's big bet that securities backed by risky home loans would fall in value generated nearly $4 billion of profits during the year ended Nov. 30, according to people familiar with the firm's finances. Those gains erased $1.5 billion to $2 billion of mortgage-related losses elsewhere in the firm. On Tuesday, despite a terrible November and some of the worst market conditions in decades, analysts expect Goldman to report record net annual income of more than $11 billion.
Goldman's trading home run was blasted from an obscure corner of the firm's mortgage department -- the structured-products trading group, which now numbers about 16 traders. Two of them, Michael Swenson, 40 years old, and Josh Birnbaum, 35, pushed Goldman to wager that the subprime market was heading for trouble. Their boss, mortgage-department head Dan Sparks, 40, backed them up during heated debates about how much money the firm should risk. This year, the three men are expected to be paid between $5 million and $15 million apiece, people familiar with the matter say. More:

WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. Receives Order to Supply Solar Powered Mobile MaxPure(TM) Units to Provide Clean Drinking Water and Electricity to Iraqi Farmers
Monday December 10, 3:01 am ET
Morrell Foundation Orders 12 of the WorldWater Portable Units for $900,000 To Donate to the U.S. Military for Distribution to Families in the Euphrates Valley--Each Unit Can Supply 30,000 Gallons Daily of Purified or Irrigation Water Plus Electrical Power for Lights, Motors and Tools
U.S. Army to Pick Up Systems at WorldWater Headquarters December 15 For Immediate Air Delivery to Baghdad--U.S. Marines Will Distribute to Sites Along Euphrates River
EWING, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. (WWAT), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today announced that the company will ship 12 of its Mobile MaxPure™ solar water and power-supply units for use by farmers and families in the Euphrates Valley of Iraq. The systems have been purchased for $900,000 and are being donated by the Morrell Foundation, an international charitable foundation that provides clean water to people in need. The portable Mobile MaxPure™ systems can each supply 30,000 gallons per day of clean drinking water or irrigation, plus electric power for Iraqi farmers and their families along the Euphrates River.

At the request of the U.S. Marines at Camp Fallujah, WorldWater and Morrell will supply the systems to the Military for assistance to the farmers. Mobile MaxPure™ is a stand-alone, sturdy and robust 7-foot cube that opens with the press of a button, unfolding a solar array which can deliver 3.2 kilowatts of electrical power and, with the Company’s patented AquaMax™ controls, can pump and purify up to 30,000 gallons of water daily. The unit can also desalinate brackish or sea water. It will operate from sunshine alone or in combination with a power grid. Mobile MaxPure™ is also equipped with a back-up generator and a battery bank for 24-hour use. Delivery of the Morrell donation of the 12 WorldWater units to the U.S. Military for Iraqi placement was organized and managed by Millennium KI, LLC, a military supply contractor for civil action and humanitarian products and works.
The units are scheduled for pick-up and delivery from WorldWater Headquarters in Ewing, NJ by the U.S. Army on December 15 for immediate air shipment to Baghdad and Marine distribution into the Euphrates Valley.
“The Iraqi farmers do not have reliable power from the electric grid to operate their irrigation pumps or treat their water for drinking,” said Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman & CEO of WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. “When we received an e-mail from the Marines at Camp Fallujah requesting water purification units, we moved immediately. Morrell and Millennium responded equally. I understand families are drinking directly from the river, which of course is seriously polluted. Within 30 minutes of Max’s arrival on site, the people will be able to drink purified water from the river and able to start irrigating crops.”
Paul Jeffries, CFO of the Morrell Foundation said, “Dedicated to providing hope and assistance to people across the world, we are so pleased to work with WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp. and the U.S. Military to provide this equipment, which we believe will be essential in helping to improve the quality of life to residents along the Euphrates River, as well as enabling them to provide basic needs for themselves. Passionate about humanity and helping others, this is an excellent example of the wide variety of programs that Morrell offers to assist people around the world that have been affected by natural disasters, armed conflict or poverty.”
