...There's little hope that the type of shares the government is buying in banks as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) will plug the hole in the banking system's bucket. Paul Miller, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets who has written a number of reports on the capital issues of banks, says the only way to solve the problem is for the government to stop buying preferred shares and start taking direct ownership stakes. Of course, the issue with that approach is that the problem at the banks is so large, Uncle...
...Miller looked at eight of the largest financial firms in the U.S. and determined that on average, if just 3.4% of their loans go unpaid, their shareholders will be wiped out. The good news is that these firms are so large that 3% of their loan portfolio is a really big number: some $400 billion. The timing of when the loans go bad matters too. If, say, 5% of a bank's loans go bad over 10 years, the bank will survive. It can cover the loan losses with the earnings it gets from all its paying customers. But given...
...lead changes, the Quakers (5-10, 1-0 Ivy) took the lead in the final two minutes and held on to it to give the Crimson (9-7, 1-2 Ivy) its second-straight home Ivy loss. Harvard got 14 points and six boards from junior forward Doug Miller and 13 from junior guard Jeremy Lin, but the team was killed by abysmal free throw shooting, hitting just 7-of-16 attempts, including missing the front ends of four one-and-one chances.

...Shooting one-and-one again, the freshman missed the front end, but the ball bounced into the corner near the Penn bench and Eggleston beat Miller to it and called time. Sophomore guard Tyler Bernardini caught the inbounds pass but was gang-corralled and forced to use his team’s last timeout with 22 seconds left...
