Just seen this on the BBC news website. More fuel to the fire it seems.

It appears, in CCCs case, that the measures recently brought in by the worlds central banks, to stabilise martgage backed securities has had the opposite effect.

Seems it isn't just a concern anymore, but a reality.

CCC Expects their assets to be seized. That is some disturbing news, to a certain degree.

However, I see a small light at the end of this tunnel, one of them being that small businesses in the service sector may have ample opportunity to gear their sales forces to sell ancillary services that may outweigh the need for others.

A prime example may be in the Health Care or Hospice field. Instead of having visiting nurses or full-time care, perhaps a company that sells Telemedicine or Independent Living facilities "monitoring", for lack of a better term, might have their shot at selling versus the exorbitant cost of a visiting nurse. If marketed properly, they could certainly prove their mettle simply on cost alone. ($45.00 a month versus $3000 per month visiting care).

Carlyle Capital is only a small part of Carlyle Group, which is one of the largest private equity investment firms in the world. What I don't understand is why Carlyle Group only came up with $150M to try to bail them out. Does that mean the entire Carlyle Group can't raise more than $150M (scary thought) and are just going to stand back and watch one of their units collapse?

Or are they just waiting for the taxpayers to bail them out as usual?

They have money indeed, and they are backed by the Arabs, that is a fact but they want to get rid of their link to the mess in the markets and they are holding to their money.

Not, they are no collapsing they are just getting rid of the hedge fund before it collapse and they lose some money.

Thanks for the link, we know who the Carlyle groups hold hands with and at the same time we know the power behind their firm.

Whole bunch of crocks, but this is America the land of the free and corrupted Capitalism.

Im not an expert on tax laws, or financial terms, but there in Aust, if you have 2x Businesses, and one runs at a loss... you can claim the loss as a tax break.

Now isnt Bush snr a Carlyle executive?

With the coming economic crisis, maybe it was beneficial to 'sacrifice' one of the lambs EARLY, to ensure minimum loss is felt when the big bang happens.

thus, a minor offshoot of carlyl will not be saved.

Yes if I am no mistaken the Arabs didn't wanted to invest more money into that venture so I guess that is why the firm is just getting rid of the troublesome hedge fund.

Nice find Paul. I think Robert Preston may be on to something. Carlyle's counterparties include distressed banks like Citi & Deutsche. It would only make sense for these troubled lenders to force margin calls/defaults...and swap the valueless MBS collateral for US government securities under Bernanke's new TSLFA. A no-brain-er really.

When the Fed starts accepting delinquent parking citations as collateral...let me know...I have a glove-box full of 'em
