Analysis: U.S. rating still at risk despite reduced threats from DC
Reply
the emerging signs of lawmakers working together are not likely to be enough to head off more downgrades of U.S. government debt, which is used as a benchmark for borrowing costs and considered the safest of safe havens. … “The negotiations for the medium-term deficit and debt trajectory are the most important things in our ratings,” said Steven Hess, lead U.S. sovereign credit analyst at Moody’s Investors Service.
“We’re looking for a convincing downward trajectory in the debt ratios and we don’t think that that’s yet there.”

Judge Approves BP Criminal Settlement
Reply
HOUSTON — A federal judge in New Orleans on Tuesday approved an agreement between BP and the Justice Department for the company to plead guilty to manslaughter and pay $4 billion in criminal penalties for the 2010 oil well blowout and spill in the Gulf of Mexico that left 11 workers dead.
Under the settlement, reached last November, BP pleaded guilty to 14 criminal charges. Its payment of $4 billion will resolve all criminal charges related to the Macondo well blowout and destruction of the Deepwater Horizon rig, which spilled millions of barrels of oil and fouled hundreds of miles of shore along the gulf coast.
Several dozen people submitted letters to Judge Sarah S. Vance, of Federal District Court in New Orleans, requesting that she reject the plea agreement. Some wanted additional financial compensation, while others requested stronger punishment for BP supervisors or a more powerful apology.
“If I had my wish,” wrote Ashley Manuel, daughter of Keith Blair Manuel, one of the 11 rig workers who died, “it would be that the three representatives from BP who sat in my grandparents’ living room and lied to my face about the accident would sit in jail and feel the same pain and loss I feel.”
Arguing in favor of the agreement, the British-based company filed an apology with the court
Had the judge not accepted the agreement, the company would have faced a long and expensive trial, potentially resulting in tougher penalties.

here's the real rub...Gun Control.
The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to acquire 7,000 5.56x45mm NATO “personal defense weapons” (PDW) — also known as “assault weapons” when owned by civilians. The solicitation, originally posted on June 7, 2012, comes to light as the Obama administration is calling for a ban on semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines.
Citing a General Service Administration (GSA) request for proposal (RFP), Steve McGough of RadioViceOnline.com reports that DHS is asking for the 7,000 “select-fire” firearms because they are “suitable for personal defense use in close quarters.” The term select-fire means the weapon can be both semi-automatic and automatic. Civilians are prohibited from obtaining these kinds of weapons.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is also making the rounds:
Legislation introduced Thursday by U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) seeks to limit the type of assault weapons available to the public — unless, of course, you’re a lawmaker.
“The bill introduced today is the product of more than a year of work, with input from across the country,” Feinstein said in a press release. “Getting this bill signed into law will be an uphill battle, and I recognize that — but it’s a battle worth waging. We must balance the desire of a few to own military-style assault weapons with the growing threat to lives across America.”
The proposed legislation would limit the distribution of 150 types of military-style semiautomatic weapons, while also limiting semiautomatic pistols with detachable magazines and those with telescoping or other military-like capabilities. However, there are exemptions to the ban.
Law enforcement officials and those retired from the profession would not be held to the legislation. Government officials, defined as “people elected or appointed to administer a government,” are also exempt.

Nominee for ‘Sheriff’ Has Worn Banks’ Hat
Reply
“You don’t want to mess with Mary Jo.”
That’s what President Obama said about his pick to run the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mary Jo White. The nomination of Ms. White, a former prosecutor who took on the terrorists behind the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 and the Mafia boss John Gotti, was meant to signal that the S.E.C. would be getting tough on Wall Street. CBS called her “Wall Street’s new sheriff.” The Wall Street Journal said she would be “putting a tougher face on an agency still tainted by embarrassing enforcement missteps in the run-up to the financial crisis.” The New York Times said her appointment represented a “renewed resolve to hold Wall Street accountable.”
Hold on.
While Ms. White is a decorated prosecutor, she has spent the last decade vigorously defending — and billing by the hour — Wall Street’s biggest banks, as a rainmaking partner at the white-shoe law firm Debevoise & Plimpton. The average partner at the firm was paid $2.1 million a year, according to American Lawyer; but she was no average partner, very likely being paid at least double that. Her husband, John W. White, is a corporate partner at Cravath, Swaine & Moore. He counts JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse and UBS as clients. The average partner at Cravath makes $3.1 million. He, too, was a former official at the S.E.C.
They are well documented: she was JPMorgan Chase’s go-to lawyer for many of the cases brought against it relating to the financial crisis. She was arm-in-arm with Kenneth D. Lewis, Bank of America’s former chief executive, keeping him out of trouble when the New York attorney general accused Mr. Lewis of defrauding investors
This is what she had to say about Mr. Lewis, in a court filing submitted on his behalf: “Some have looked to assign blame for every aspect of the financial crisis, even where there is no evidence of misconduct. This case is a product of that dynamic and does not withstand either legal or factual scrutiny.”
And then, of course, there was John Mack. She worked for the board of Morgan Stanley during a now well-publicized 2005 investigation into insider trading that ended soon after she made a phone call to the S.E.C. Using her connections at the top of the agency, she dialed up Linda Thomsen, then the commission’s head of enforcement, to find out whether Mr. Mack, who was being considered for Morgan Stanley’s chief executive position, was being implicated. He ultimately wasn’t.
All of Ms. White’s previous engagements create not only an “optics” problem, but a practical, on-the-job problem. She will most likely need to recuse herself from just about anything related to her previous work.
“I will not for a period of two years from the date of my appointment participate in any particular matter involving specific parties that is directly and substantially related to my former employer or former clients, including regulations and contracts,” is the language in an ethics pledge that she will have to agree to follow.

dc CB... now that Breuer resigned a poke in the eye... just for you:
(MarketWatch) - Two senators - a Democrat and a Republican - on Tuesday questioned the Department of Justice about whether the powerful status of large Wall Street financial institutions makes it difficult to prosecute wrongdoing and impose appropriate penalties. "Wall Street megabanks aren't just too big to fail, they're increasingly too big to jail," said Sen. Sherrod Brown, democrat of Ohio, in a statement. Brown and Sen. Chuck Grassley, republican of Iowa, sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder arguing that many settlements between large banks and the federal government involve penalties that are "disproportionately low." They also said that the nature of the settlements has raised concerns that big banks "enjoy a favored status in statute and in enforcement policy." Grassley said there has been little willingness to charge individuals involved in the financial crisis criminally. He added that the public deserves an explanation for how the Justice Department arrives at these decisions.

WASHINGTON — U.S. consumer confidence plunged in January to its lowest level in more than a year, reflecting higher Social Security taxes that left Americans with less take-home pay.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index dropped 8.1 points in January from December to a reading of 58.6, the lowest since November 2011.
The index has declined for three straight months since hitting a nearly five-year high of 73.1 in October 2012. It's still above the post-recession low of 40.9 reached in October 2011.

Media Firms Probed on Data Release
Reply
The federal investigation examined whether news organizations used high-speed transmission systems to give some investors access to economic data a fraction of a second before the official release time, according to officials familiar with the probe.
Investigators recently decided not to file any criminal charges, said people familiar with the matter. Investigators had launched the probe after spotting trading patterns suggesting some traders received data slightly before the release time; the investigators decided against filing charges because they couldn't link the pattern to specific actions by media companies, people familiar with the probe said.
A key issue, one of the people said, was whether the government could prove in court that a time advantage for a trader of a sliver of a second—as little as a few thousandths—was enough to conduct profitable trades on confidential information

stress-test ‘global shock’
Reply
The six largest US banks had their trading positions compared to a “global market shock” as part of the latest round of government-mandated stress tests.The tests included a doubling of German sovereign debt spreads and a 56 per cent drop in the price of benchmark oil.
The US Federal Reserve’s annual exam calls for banks to test their balance sheets to ensure they would be adequately capitalised to withstand a “severely adverse” economic scenario. For Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the stress tests included a one-off instantaneous shock to their trading positions and counterparty exposures that mimic market movements last seen during the height of the financial crisis in the second half of 2008.
On Monday, the Fed made public for the first time the assumptions the six banks had to use when stress-testing their portfolios. They included a 42 per cent slide in Brazil’s main equity index and a fall in the price of triple A-rated corporate bonds from advanced economies equivalent to spreads widening by 168 basis points. Spreads on credit default swaps of double A-rated large financial groups based in core eurozone countries doubled, according to the Fed’s guidelines. Spreads on A-rated bonds of core eurozone banks tripled. The banks’ sovereign debt holdings were similarly hit, with spreads on US Treasuries widening by more than 160 per cent while spreads on UK gilts quadrupled. In all, the Fed gave the six banks some 30,000 risk factors against which to stress-test their trading portfolios. The assumptions are similar to last year’s, with slight variations in specific eurozone assets. How banks fare on the stress tests will determine how much capital they will be allowed to return to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends. Bank analysts including Glenn Schorr of Nomura expect most of the 19 financial groups subject to the “comprehensive capital analysis and review” to request regulators’ permission to increase their stock buybacks and dividends. Most are expected to pass, partly because of the improving US economy and the banks’ strengthened balance sheets. Analysts at Portales Partners predicted that large regional US banks will return 62 per cent of net income to shareholders, according to a Monday note to clients. JPMorgan Chase will return 72 per cent of net income to shareholders, or a total of nearly $14bn, the analysts estimated, while Citigroup and Bank of America will return just a fraction of that.The banks submitted their data to the Fed this month. The results will be publicly announced in March.

U.S. Plans Base for Surveillance Drones in Northwest Africa
Reply
WASHINGTON — The United States military command in Africa is preparing plans to establish a drone base in northwest Africa to increase unarmed surveillance missions on the local affiliate of Al Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups that American and other Western officials say pose a growing menace to the region.
For now, officials say they envision flying only unarmed surveillance drones from the base, though they have not ruled out conducting missile strikes at some point if the threat worsens.
If the base is approved, the most likely location for it would be in Niger, a largely desert nation on the eastern border of Mali, where French and Malian troops are now battling Qaeda-backed fighters who control the northern part of that country. The American military’s Africa Command is also discussing options for the base with other countries in the region, including Burkina Faso, officials said.
The immediate impetus for a drone base in the region is to provide surveillance assistance to the French-led operation in Mali. “This is directly related to the Mali mission, but it could also give Africom a more enduring presence for I.S.R.,” one American military official said Sunday, referring to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

~87.70 is my preferred target, unless a sudden panic-exit of the shorts overloaded bandwagon happens(a dip).
