Davis Polk quite faulty analysis of the Brown-Vitter Bill

Davis Polk when analyzing the Brown-Vitter Bill evidences that they, like most discussants of the issue, have not yet understood the very dangerous implications for the banking system which results from risk-weighing bank assets so as to determine their specific capital requirements for banks. With respect to this they write the following: “ The Brown-Vitter leverage ratio is too blunt an instrument for prudential financial regulation because it is not capable of distinguishing between risky and non-risky assets, and could result in two banks with vastly different risk profiles holding exactly the same amount of capital. By making a leverage ratio the centerpiece of its capital framework, the Brown-Vitter Bill represents a deliberate departure from the risk-based capital framework, notwithstanding the fact that the risk-based approach has been endorsed and adopted by all major economies around the world. Let me explain a couple of real street life fact to these lawyers who have so clearly been captured by some desk illusions. If they then need more they can always go to my blog or call me. The perceived risks which are considered for setting the risk-weights are already cleared for by the banks on the assets side of the balance sheet, by means of interest rates (risk-premiums) amount of exposure and other terms. So therefore, forcing the banks to clear for the same perceived risks on the other side of the balance sheet, in th ...

Bill Simmons Ranks Anthony Davis as 16th Most Valuable NBA Player

ESPN personality/Grantland founder/quasi-NBA roundtable host Bill Simmons has been releasing his “NBA Trade Value List” over the past couple weeks and one familiar Wildcat found his way into the Top 20. The list ranks the top 50 NBA players based on their value in a trade; it is somewhat complicated, but the premise of it is that any player who is ranked below you is a player that no GM would consider trading you away for, i.e. no one would trade #49 Jimmy Butler for #21 Tony Paker. Simmons released Part 3 this weekend, and to no one’s surprise LeBron James and Kevin Durant were #1 and #2, respectively. What is surprising, at least to me, is that Anthony Davis was #16 on the list. Here is what Simmons had to say: Even though a few unlucky injuries cost the Brow a Rookie of the Year award, I’m focusing on a 19-game stretch he played this spring: 31.6 MPG, 16.1 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 1.7 BPG and 53.3% FG until … whoops, he got hurt again. (Stay on the damned court, Brow!) I love his Very Poor Man’s McHale/Duncan low-post potential, and I love the roster flexibility that Davis provides: Once his outside shooting improves (and it will), he could be your small-ball 5 (like Chris Bosh in Miami) or your big-ball 4 (like Ibaka in OKC). You could win a title someday with the Brow as your second-best player. New Orleans was lucky that David Stern owned the Hornets and gave himself the no. 1 overall pick to get him. Simmons mentions the inju ...

CISPA Bill Passes House but Faces Senate Ambivalence and White House Veto Threat by Remy Davis and Darin Klemchuk

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) has passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 288-127, securing 92 Democratic votes, compared with just 42 for a similar Bill last year. This comes in the wake of a recent cyberattack by North Korea that disabled tens of thousands of computers and servers of South Korean banks and broadcasters, as well as a hack on the Associated Press Twitter feed, alleging two explosions at the White House and resulting in the stock market temporarily plunging The legislation, supported by virtually every arm of industry, aims to allow businesses to counter the threat of hacking that is becoming increasingly sophisticated from China, Russia, and Eastern Europe. The Bill allows the federal government and businesses to share technical data without regard to anti-trust or classification laws. Privacy and civil liberties groups oppose the Bill, however, because it grants such companies that share information legal immunity if hacked so long as they act in good faith to protect their networks. There is also no requirement that personal or credit information be redacted prior to records being shared with the government. Business groups, however, say that the privacy concerns are overblown, and the industry has an overriding interest in maintaining trust with its customers, and thus safeguarding their private information. The Bill must now pass the Senate before going to the President; t ...

Senate passes Davis' pipeline bill

The state Senate unanimously passed legislation by Sen. Wendy Davis that would permit the construction of saltwater pipelines along public right-of-way to transport hydraulic fracturing fluid in the Barnett Shale. Davis, a Fort Worth Democrat, said the construction of the piplines would reduce the need for saltwater transportation by trucks that damage roadways and create noise and congestion in Tarrant County neighborhoods. "The use of these large trucks cause heightened emissions as well as noise pollution and increased traffic," Davis said. "Furthermore the trips cost the state and local governments millions of dollars in road repair and maintenance." SB514 would allow saltwater pipeline operators to install and operate pipelines "through, under, along or across" public roadways, Davis said, the same rights of way that she said are available to the utility industry. Davis said she worked with local governments, oil companies, environmental groups and pipeline companies in writing the Bill. The measure, she said, would take saltwater transportation "off the road," enabling state and local governments to save money in road repair and maintenance. Senators voted 31-0 to send the Bill to the Senate -- Dave Montgomery -- ...
