Sovereign Funds Run And Hide (C)(JPM)(BSC)(MER)(LEH)(WM)
Published:
Just a few months ago, sovereign funds could not get enough stock and debt in financial firms like Citigroup (NYSE: C) and Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER).
When the time came to bail-out Bear Stearns (NYSE: BSC) or put money up to finance a buy-out deal for the brokerage by JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), the sovereigns were out of sight.
Several other financial companies may need capital quickly. At the top of that list is Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH). Washington Mutual (NYSE: WM) may need assistance, too.
It no longer matters if sovereign funds have a political agenda for their investments. They have left the building. The Fed is, in effect, alone. It political agenda is to save the economy starting with Wall St.
