At this point in time I don't see inflation or increases in taxes on ordinary income as major concerns. Anyone calling for either of those to happen are basing their points on pure speculation.<br /><br />GNEGNEhttp://goodnewseconomist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227919517269937208.post-13630179724239925702009-05-10T20:05:00.000-06:002009-05-10T20:05:00.000-06:00Are you concerned that high inflation (due to stim...Are you concerned that high inflation (due to stimulus) and increases in taxes on ordinary income and capital gains in 2010 will push us back into recession as we come out of this one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227919517269937208.post-36988263612064798172009-05-10T19:18:00.000-06:002009-05-10T19:18:00.000-06:00@Anonymous,

For those folks I asked the question. "Do you really understand the difference in sizes between residential real estate and commercial? Which do you believe is larger?" Residential... several of the top 19 banks have a greater degree of commercial exposure, but the reality is that as the residential market has begun to originate new prime mortgages on the banks books, those banks are "earning their way out" of any bad loans that continue on their books. And the buffers now put in place by the stress tests will assist in preventing any negative outcomes put forth by those spreading the FUD. For the most part, this "crisis" is behind us.<br /><br />GNEGNEhttp://goodnewseconomist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227919517269937208.post-80514354745250119942009-05-10T18:38:00.000-06:002009-05-10T18:38:00.000-06:00How are the banks going to deal with all of those ...How are the banks going to deal with all of those bad commercial real estate loans that are coming due in the next several months?
