Editor&#8217;s Note:  This is good news to read.   Hopefully this becomes a regular occurrence in the commercial real estate and finance space.  It will be good to see capital from investors to come back to this shunned part of the market.  More news to come.

Editor&#8217;s Note: The markets are on high tension mode right now.  We have a 16.6% drop from last month.  With the Greece bailout and possible Spain and Portugal, investors are seriously considering default as options these government might take to fix these distressed financial positions.   In this WSJ article, it mentioned a Spanish bank [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s Note: This is an important statistic to watch, if the U.S. economy is really seeing recovery, we should see steady increases in the commercial paper market.  That would show that businesses are needing more short-term funding for operation like increasing production and payroll and that would show up in increases of issuance of [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s Note:  After reading the tone of this press release, it comes to my attention that this bankruptcy might of been part of the plan so they could reorganize the debt and later down the line become profitable because the debt was at a much more manageable level.  It would be hard to believe with the [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s Note:  This is promising data showing investor&#8217;s appetite for corporate debt and signs that companies are preparing for a recovery.   Job numbers can out today and surprised the analysts by raising the unemployment rate to 9.8%.  Interesting that the market is still down by about 50% to $1.08 trillion from the peak at [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s Note:  It looks like they are setting the minimum amount to start the extra reglatory filings at any hedge funds with atleast $30 million dollars of assets.  We will need to monitor this closely to see what types of effects it will have on the hedge fund industry.  I do like the required [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s Note:  This is a positive move for the financial markets as a whole.  The more we get these failed banks out of the system or into new ownership, the more trust will return to our financial system.  The last thing we need in America is &#8220;Zombie Banks&#8221; or a &#8220;Lost Decade&#8221; like they [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s Note:  It is true that with this form of corporate debt insurance, bondholders do actually have less of a reason to not want to restructure a corporation&#8217;s debt and might actually like to see them fail so they can recoup losses from the counter-party that took this risk from them.   
Personally,  I am [...]]]></description>

Editor&#8217;s Note: There is no doubt the &#8220;Bond Vigilantes&#8221; are back.  At the time of this writing, the 10-year note was at an astonishing 3.71% yield.  If you look at the chart of the yield curve on the U.S. Treasury website, you will notice it is steepening at an accelerating rate.  Just today it has [...]]]></description>
