400mrds?, 500mrds? ou bien 1.000mrds?...('Un de plus ou un de moins, c'est quoi la différence...tant que c'est le 'con'-'tribu'-'able?' qui paye...?'-Edition)

400 milliards de dollars: c'est l'évaluation des pertes liées à la crise du crédit hypothécaire à risque ("subprime"), faite lundi 11 février par le président de l'Eurogroupe, Jean-Claude Juncker, à partir de chiffres du Fonds monétaire international (FMI).

Also, the size of the financial losses are staggering and growing by the day: financial institutions have so far recognized about $50 billion of losses but a variety of analysts estimate that total losses in sub-prime alone could add up to $300 to $400 billion; add to those the losses in near prime and prime mortgages; the losses on credit cards and auto loans whose default rates are rising; the losses on commercial real estate that experienced a boom and bubble similar to residential real estate; the losses that will be suffered by banks on lending to corporate firms and in LBO deals. It will all add up to a staggering figure closer to $1,000 billion of losses.

And guess what now? New reliable estimates suggest that using these market prices – rather than level 3 model gimmicks - will lead to losses of another $100 billion on top of hundreds of billions of subprime losses. And some market participants are already talking – quite realistically – about total losses from this credit disaster in the $500 billion range.

'Le comble de l'ironie' par Timothy Oxton...('Aie'-Edition)

Saigon revisited in Baghdad embassy?
By Timothy Oxton

Sir, Philip McBride Johnson ("Locals will raze US Baghdad embassy", Letters, May 22) comments on several features of the Vatican-sized new US embassy in Baghdad.

I understand from earlier news reports that the embassy compound has to be huge to enable large numbers of helicopters to take off simultaneously, when the time comes to evacuate it.

Never let it be said that US military planners have learnt nothing from the Vietnam war.
