Charting Too Big To Fail

The recent addition of legacy loans to TALF caused CMBX spreads to turn on the nitrous and rip like all the commercial real estate concerns over the past 6 months have disappeared (especially in the top-most AAA tranche). Between financials, whose stocks have doubled on average, and CMBX (whose spreads have halved), there is, at this point, no doubt as to what lengths the administration is willing to go to funnel every single printed dollar into these otherwise doomed industries.

While there is still no indication that TALF v3.0 will work at all (the ongoing tweaks to TALF are nothing more than the government’s way to moderate the CRE collapse) and facilitate leveraged interest in AAA CMBX, the market has priced in a massive upside at this point, implying the up/downside from this point, absent a complete nationalization of all commercial real estate, is significantly unattractive.

Lastly, I present the MCDX spread chart, representing the index for risk of municipal default, which consists of both state and city constituents, which has also tightened since March as well as on the heels of Frank’s initiative to guarantee municipal debt issues. At this rate, there will i) either be no non-sovereign risk attendant to any asset class relatively soon, or ii) the administration’s plan of socializing every form of risk imaginable will blow up in some unprecedented and, as of yet, inconceivable manner.
