米国黒人社会への利益還元という意味もあったかもしれないサブプライムローン

ところで、TVで報道されるサブプライムローンの現場レポートなんだが、昨日も画面に貧乏人が並んで気勢をあげていたんだが、ほぼ90パーセントが黒人だった。アッケラカンのカーというのを思い出すんだが、コレは、金権体臭プンプンの政治家、というよりも政治屋に近い印象だった渡辺美智雄元外相が「アメリカの黒人は破産してもアッケラカンのカーだ」の差別発言で内外から非難を浴びたという件なんだが、正式には「日本人は真面目に借金を返すが、アメリカには黒人やヒスパニックなんかがいて、破産しても明日から金返さなくても良いアッケラカのカーだ」と発言しているわけだ。このミッチー親父は、渡辺喜美という議員のオヤジだな。あの時、ミッチーを非難したヤツぁ、出てきて土下座しろ、と言いたくなるような今日この頃なんだが、実際、アメリカの黒ん坊のアッケラカのカーで日本までもが巻き込まれて騒動になっているわけで、何十年たってもアメリカのバカはどこまでもバカなので、百年待ってもバカは利口にはならないわけです。

多分このサブプライム問題渦中のメリルリンチの親分だった方がどのような方だったかはご存じ無いようですね。（ｗ

サブプライム問題のメリルを辞任したStanley O'Neal氏

CEO casualty of Merrill Lynch's losses
O'Neal's tactics to streamline firm caused bitterness

NEW YORK — The journey of Stanley O'Neal from a farm in Alabama to the top of the food chain on Wall Street was an uncommon rise that culminated in an all-too-familiar fall.

The grandson of slaves, the child of farmers and a former assembly line worker at an auto plant, O'Neal forged an unlikely path to Harvard Business School and then to some of the nation's largest companies before taking over as chief executive at Merrill Lynch in 2003.

Some who know him said his unusual ascent came to an abrupt halt because of the same mix of hubris, corporate infighting and an abysmal bottom-line performance that has done in more than one executive.

Even before Merrill announced a headline-making quarterly loss last month after writing down $7.9 billion in mortgage-related securities, O'Neal had been a controversial chief executive. He was a relentless cost-cutter who showed results but who outraged some old-timers by changing the company's internal culture.

O'Neal, 56, the first black American to take the helm of a major Wall Street firm, is the highest ranking casualty from the summer's credit market turmoil.

"It is a tragic Shakespearean story," said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a management professor at Yale University. "He really had spectacular results coming in. The guy's brilliant."

At the same time, Sonnenfeld said, "he didn't make friends, and he also apparently didn't listen to those who understood credit risk better than he did."

O'Neal had been under the gun since early last month when Merrill said it expected to take write-downs of $4.5 billion from mortgage-related securities, raising questions about the firm's risk-management practices. Later in the month, O'Neal acknowledged that the write-downs were closer to $7.9 billion, further damaging his credibility with Wall Street. The firm's loss was most severe among its peers and the largest in Merrill's 93-year history.

Then it became public that O'Neal had approached Wachovia about a merger. According to a New York Times report, O'Neal broke protocol by not seeking permission from his board to approach Wachovia.

"He's lost the confidence of the board," said Michael Kelly, managing partner of the Board Services Practice at CTPartners, an executive search firm.

In 2006, a year in which the firm reported a record annual profit, O'Neal received a pay package valued at $48 million. In 2005, he took home $38 million.

When he retired last week, O'Neal was able to walk away with $161.5 million in stock, options and retirement benefits, the company said Tuesday.

O'Neal joined Merrill in its investment banking division in 1986. He rose up the ranks, becoming president in 2001, chief executive in 2002, and adding the title of chairman in 2003. O'Neal took over leadership of the firm at a time when investors were dissatisfied with what they viewed as the firm's bloated structure.

He fired scores of senior executives, eliminated 24,000 jobs, froze pay and steadily pushed out competitors for executive power, including colleagues who had supported his rise up the corporate chain. It was one of the biggest clean-outs in corporate history, and bitter feelings remain.

O'Neal氏が周りの忠告を無視してサブプライムローン関連商品を推進した
理由が彼の経歴から垣間見えるわけです。
まあ彼としては地元に還元したかったんでしょう。
後イラクの前線に派遣されてる多くの兵士たちは黒人ですので、
まあその方面に金を流す必要もあったわけです。

で、メリルの損失先送りの件は憶測ですがメリルが損失額を
��０億ドルから８０億ドルに修正した時点で織り込まれてる
んではないかと・・・


まあメリル買収に動かれてる筋もおられるようですからね。（ｗ
