MFA has emerged as an excellent conference over the last decade due to more than one person - even if Hengjie is pretty great! Credit to Jon Garfinkel, Gordon Phillips, Prabhala, and all the others before them who have devoted so much time to the organization.

Several people at the MFA talking about how good this conference has gotten. I hear this is Hengjie Ai’s doing. Is that right?

1/8 It's official. The US gvt in analysis of the costs and benefits of any new regulation will now use long-run discount rates as low as 1.1%. All proposed regulation the Administration says has high costs today but high benefits in the future just got a BIG, unjusified boost.

Has the FDIC ever sold a failed bank in an LBO? JPM buys ~$60B in equity value (~$180B assets, ~$120B liabilities) using $10B cash and $50B loan from FDIC.

Structure keeps "new FRC" leverage similar to other banks. Plus no doubt the terms of the new debt are better than the FRC corporate debt and preferred stock that JPM isn't assuming.

Re bank accounting and unrealized losses: 1. As many have noted, banks are sitting on big unrealized losses on loans and securities. They don’t appear on the balance sheet because loans and securities are held at book value and not marked to market. How worried should we be?

Deploying lots of leverage is more palatable when combined with with slow or no mark-to-market. Private Equity is one example. Banks are another example. SVB was running a $ 117 bn. bond portfolio, and only marking $26 bn. of it to market, with only $15 bn in capital.
