- This story at the New York Times points out that the government is already realizing profits on the investments it made to prop up the struggling banks as the bailout fever gripped the nation. It is interesting to note that if the private investors had bought these banks when the government was doling out the taxpayer’s money, they would have made profits 3 times as much as the government made due to the fact that the government ended up overpaying for these assets.
- Bloomberg reports that Cerebrus is now trying to raise funds as the investors withdraw their assets. Cereberus ended up writing off their investment in Chrysler and had to take a large dilution when GMAC chose to be ‘helped’ by the government. Apparently, there are enough investor money waiting to get into a Cereberus fund.
