Kyle Bass founded hedge fund after Wall Street stint
Gambled against sub-prime mortgage bond market
He has now started to bet against European countries
Set to increase money by 650 times from Greece bet

Investor Kyle Bass has already made millions from the credit crunch and he is set to increase his money by almost 650 times from a Greek default.

He founded hedge fund Hayman Capital in Dallas, Texas, in 2006 in his late 30s after saving $10million from selling bonds for Wall Street firms.
He made millions gambling against the sub-prime mortgage bond market - and now he’s betting on the collapse of whole countries in Europe.

He believes Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy and Spain are the countries least likely to be able to pay off their debts.
He bought Greek default insurance for 11 basis points - meaning insuring $1m of bonds would cost $1,100 dollars a year.

A Greek default would make it pay down its debt by around 70 per cent, meaning every $1,100 bet would net him an astonishing $700,000, Mr Bass said.

Mr Bass, who lives in a 40,000 sq ft house, has also bought 20 million nickels for $1million. He said the metal inside each coin is worth 6.8 cents.
‘It may not be the end of the world,’ Mr Bass added. ‘But a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money. Our goal is not to be one of them.

The Delhi Games fiasco has exposed to the world the inherent dangers of doing business in the subcontinent; a message those already stung say must not go unheeded in the Gillard government's upcoming white paper on "Australia in the Asian Century".

The four highest-ranking officials from last year's Games, including chairman Suresh Kalmadi, and at least six local government officers and private company executives are in jail on corruption charges.

Six Australian contractors to the Games are fighting to recover a combined $22 million in unpaid debts. Some are also battling breach-of-contract allegations from a revisionist organising committee trying to claw back money already paid. The total debt owed to 20 contractors is more than $85m.

BRICS leaders ultimately pointed to the G20 as the proper organization to carry out such an action.

European Govts Bail Out Dexia Bank
October 2, 2008
By Kalyani Mookherji for TheBusinessEdition Edit Desk
Dexia will receive 6.4 billion euros or $9.2 billion from the governments of France, Belgium and Luxembourg in order to avoid a financial collapse. This will make Dexia the second Belgian bank within a week to get a government and shareholder bail out following the crisis in banking sector which has now spread from the US to European markets.

Dexia is a French-Belgian lender which mainly provided loans to local governments in Europe. But the recent market meltdown in US left it with huge losses and on Monday, Dexia closed almost 30% lower on the stock market. This led to emergency negotiations between the bank and a consortium of European government officials. The CEO of Dexia, Alex Miller resigned immediately after the closing of talks and clarified that asking for state help was the only viable option left with Dexia to help it stay afloat.

The tri-government bail out of Dexia comes only two days after another Belgian-Dutch bank Fortis was pulled back from the brink by a rescue package of 11.2 billion euros or $16.4 billion by the governments of Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. The near-collapse of so many finance firms in Europe is being seen as the direct consequence of the US market meltdown in which several major investment banks of Wall Street either went bankrupt or required external help to survive.

Aust homes set for 50% crash - forecaster
Reply   
The next global recession will make the GFC look like a picnic, with property prices to fall by almost half across Australia.

He says the crash in Australian property prices will be similar to what was seen in California, where values have dropped by about 40 per cent since the crisis began.

"Your whole country is like California," Mr Dent says.

In Sydney, the average house price is over nine times the average income, which is clearly unsustainable, Mr Dent argues.

this continues, it could lead to banks easing their lending standards, as was the case in the US before their property market crashed in 2008.

"I call it `the frog in water'," he says.

That backed up figures from RP Data and Rismark that showed home prices fell for a seventh consecutive month in July, and by 2.9 per cent in the 12 months to that month.
