Goldman: $460 Billion More in Credit Losses

Wall Street banks, brokerages, and hedge funds may report $460 billion in credit losses from the collapse of the subprime mortgage market, or almost four times the amount already disclosed, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Profits will continue to wane, other analysts said.

“There is light at the end of the tunnel, but it is still rather dim,” Goldman analysts including New York-based Andrew Tilton said in a note to investors yesterday. They estimated that residential mortgage losses will account for half the total and commercial mortgages for as much as 20 percent.

Opening Bell: 3.26.08

Hoarding by banks stokes fear over crisis (FT)
This has been a key issue for a long time, but we have to imagine the implosion of Bear Stearns has only made this more acute. By all metrics, banks continue to be stingy over their cash. They won’t lend it out, not even to other banks. Borrowing costs continue to rise, even after central bankers make moves to lower interest rates. Eventually, you’d think that they’d be able to make the spread big enough, to make it worthwhile… but when you’re fearful that the money will never come home, a few basis points doesn’t pay back the peace of mind you get from being solvent.

Goodbye Moto

Instead of one big sucky company, we’ll now have two!

Motorola said Wednesday that it would split itself into two publicly traded companies as it struggles to boost its stock price and faces pressure from activist investor Carl C. Icahn.

Motorola said in a statement that it would separate its flagging cellphone unit from its broadband and mobility operations, which encompasses the servicing of wireless networks and the building of television set-top boxes. Motorola shareholders would receive stock in both companies.
