With analysts like S&P putting out such blatant nonsense like my previous blog, you know the system is getting desperate to keep this ship from sinking. Uncle Ben is trying to inject capital in banks at over inflated prices??? We doesn't he give us free capital under similar terms? [more]

First, let me start out by saying that this is the same analyst that hosed S&P readers on SPF as it now trades at $1.00. I have to tell you, prior to me starting to analyze SPF, I never really read an S&P report.....after analyzing SPF in detail for a couple years, it became clear to me that no analyst could put out crap like this and maintain the interest of investors at the same time.

Businessman and philanthropist Ezri Namvar was once a pillar of the local Iranian Jewish community, a trusted friend to whom many in the community loaned freely and without fear.
Now Namvar and his investment company, Namco Capital Group, Inc., are accused of losing as much as $400 million loaned to him.
For the last three months, lawsuits have been filed and extensive negotiations have been taking place to resolve the hundreds of millions of dollars in disputes between Namvar's creditors and the Brentwood Iranian Jewish businessman. On Dec. 22, two dozen creditors filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against Namvar and Namco.
The petition follows 17 lawsuits filed against Namvar, Namco, entities owned by Namvar and other Namvar family members alleging breach of contract and contractual fraud in a case that attorneys estimate involves 300 to 400 creditors, the majority of whom are Iranian Jews. [more]
