JPMorgan Says It Was Tricked Into Keeping Lehman's `Goat Poo' Collateral
"Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. tricked JPMorgan Chase & Co. into holding onto collateral that the bankrupt investment firm internally described as “goat poo.”
JPMorgan was stuck with Lehman’s worst securities backing $25 billion of loans as Lehman was sold to Barclays Plc in September 2008, JPMorgan said in a court filing yesterday. Lehman described the collateral as “toxic crap” and “goat poo” to be scattered “in other people’s backyards,” JPMorgan said."

Odd Behavior from 'Best Performing' Hedge Fund Manager 2010?
STAMFORD -- Former trader Jeffrey Kong claims his old boss Don Brownstein, founder of hedge fund Structured Portfolio Management, sometimes adopted the managerial style of movie land gangster complete with baseball bat.
Brownstein's $2 billion Stamford-based SPM LLC. is locked in a legal battle with Kong, each seeking to "recover" millions of dollars from the other claiming breach of contract. The two had worked together for 10 years until Kong resigned in May of 2010 and then took a job with a rival fund. And this week, Kong asked the court to stop SPM from distributing, profits, bonuses and equity distributions. Kong's counterclaim in the fight also became public, revealing some of his allegations against his former boss, a highly regarded former philosophy professor.
"Brownstein's management style was, at times questionable," Kong said in a court filing. "For example, as in the famous scene from the movie "The Untouchables," Brownstein would often walk around the crowded conference room table while slapping the palm of his hand with a baseball bat, stopping behind me while stating, `I'll kill you if you leave. The only way you can leave this firm is in a body bag.'"

China Payment System Closed - Will WTO Do Anything?
"A U.S. case is pending asking the World Trade Organization to look into trade barriers that discriminate against U.S. credit and debit card companies that want to participate in China's electronic payments market. On Friday, U.S. trade officials requested that the WTO establish a dispute settlement panel to handle the case after consultation with the organization failed to resolve the dispute.
"Opening up China's market, as China committed to do over four years ago, would create American jobs for the U.S. suppliers of electronic payment services, and a more efficient payment card system in China would be beneficial for both merchants and consumers," U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said in a statement Friday."

Goldman Sachs Former Chief Whitehead Says NYSE Deal ‘An Insult’
"John C. Whitehead isn’t celebrating the 219-year-old New York Stock Exchange’s plan to be acquired by Germany’s 18-year-old Deutsche Boerse AG.
“I think it’s a terrible idea and I hope it can be stopped,” Whitehead, the 88-year-old former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs Group Inc., said in an interview yesterday. “It would be an insult to New York City, and New York State, and indeed to all America.”
The erstwhile U.S. deputy secretary of state, NYSE director and Lower Manhattan Development Corp. chairman said his experience gives him the credibility to speak out against the potential takeover."

Is Twitter’s Valuation a Sign of the Next Bubble?
"OK. Here’s a new one: Mass text messaging company Twitter is currently claiming a valuation of $8-$10 billion. Sure, the white hot Web 2.0 company has barely made any money (~45 million in 2010) and may become another Friendster. But there’s tons of cash sloshing around Silicon Valley and the herd is starting to feel the first pangs of fear they will miss out on investing in “the next big thing.”
That means fundamental business valuations are on the way out the door. In the place of sane rational analysis, you should expect to see hype, emotions, and ego. That’s a simple way of saying investors are more willing to slap an extra hundred or two hundred basis points onto M&A multiples.
Here are the first few snowballs in what’s starting to look like an inevitable deal avalanche:
Groupon: The mass coupon site sent shockwaves through the business world after rejecting a $6 billion offer from Google (NASDAQ:GOOG). The company clearly thinks it’s worth more and there’s still a window of opportunity to wait for a more insane valuation. Now that’s a clear sign there ain’t no economic depression.
Demand Media DMD: The world’s largest industrial content farming operation popped over 30% at their IPO ~2 weeks ago."

Facebook Insider Sales PROVES this is a BUBBLE
"Facebook Employee Sale Would Value It at $60 Billion, WSJ Says"
At these prices employees are just unloading the shares when they are sky high so the suckers buy them at this prices, nothing guarantees how facebook will get profitable in the next 5 years to justify this type of valuation. Myspace had its peak peak of 75.9 million users in December 2008 - and it is worth next to nothing now so News Corp can not even sell it....
"Facebook Inc. may allow employees to sell as much as $1 billion of shares in an offering that would place the company’s value at $60 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on its All Things Digital blog, citing unidentified people close to the situation.
The social-networking company wants to give employees a chance to sell shares because an initial public offering isn’t likely for at least a year, All Things Digital said."
