SAC LOOKS ON THE BRIGHT SIDE The $616 million fine against SAC Capital Advisors that was announced on Friday by the Securities and Exchange Commission would be enough to cripple some hedge funds. But SAC saw the positive in the penalty, which settles two insider-trading lawsuits brought by the government, DealBook's Peter Lattman writes. The $15 billion hedge fund said in a statement that the settlements were "a substantial step toward resolving all outstanding regulatory matters."
Some investors also cheered the development, as it removed the fund's exposure to litigation against two former employees. The Blackstone Group, whose $550 million investment makes it SAC's largest outside client, views the settlements favorably, Mr. Lattman reports. But it's still too early to say what Blackstone will decide to do come the mid-May deadline to ask for its money back, a person familiar with Blackstone's thinking said. Rival hedge fund managers and securities lawyers criticized the settlements of $602 million and $14 million as too weak, even though the S.E.C. called the larger penalty the biggest settlement ever of an insider trading case. "While $616 million would normally be a massive penalty, for Cohen this is basically a drop in the bucket," said Bradley D. Simon, a criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor in New York. "There is also no debarment or admission of wrongdoing."
DIMON'S CLOUT IS QUESTIONED The Senate hearing on Friday over JPMorgan Chase's huge trading loss shines an uncomfortable spotlight on Jamie Dimon, the bank's influential chief executive. Though Mr. Dimon wasn't present while his top lieutenants were being grilled, the hearing and the Senate panel's report could create fresh challenges for an executive long considered an expert manager of risk, Ben Protess and Jessica Silver-Greenberg report in DealBook.
Some investors and even members of the bank's board are becoming frustrated with Mr. Dimon's "off-putting arrogance," as one shareholder put it. Mr. Dimon isn't likely to face a serious threat to his power. Still, two board members are concerned about the repercussions of Mr. Dimon's comments last April that dismissed the disastrous trades as a "tempest in a teapot," people briefed on the board's thinking said. "The concern is that those statements - made months after Mr. Dimon learned the trades had breached the firm's internal alarm system hundreds of times, according to the Senate report - could put the bank in a precarious situation with regulators investigating the trades," DealBook writes. "And government officials who would speak only anonymously say that Mr. Dimon, faulted in the Senate report for strong-arming regulators, is also losing sway with some authorities in Washington."
STOCKS FALL ON CYPRUS BAILOUT Shares of big banks fell on Monday after the announcement this weekend that bank depositors in Cyprus would be forced to share the cost of a European bailout. HSBC fell more than 2 percent in Hong Kong trading, and Standard Chartered was down about 2 percent in trading in London.
The scene in Cyprus was chaotic. "The euro fell sharply against major currencies ahead of the action, as investors around the world absorbed the implications of Europe's move," The New York Time's Liz Alderman and Landon Thomas Jr. reported. European Union leaders are proposing a 6.75 percent tax on deposits of up to 100,000 euros to help pay for the bailout. Nicos Anastasiades, the Cypriot president, who said he was trying to persuade the leaders to modify those demands, described in apocalyptic detail what might happen if Cyprus did not approve the rescue: a "complete collapse of the banking sector," major losses for businesses and depositors and a possible exit for Cyprus from the euro zone.

A BLANKFEIN WEDDING Lloyd C. Blankfein, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs, has gained a daughter-in-law. Mr. Blankfein's son, Alexander, 27, was married on Saturday at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, in an outdoor ceremony beneath a chuppah and a canopy of trees. The bride, Cristina Mercedes Ros, 26, is a founder of Circle of Women, a group in Cambridge, Mass., that promotes women's education. The couple met at Harvard, where they are both pursuing M.B.A. degrees, according to an item in The New York Times. Rabbi Judy Kempler officiated the ceremony. The groom is to become a consultant at Bain & Company in September, according to The Times.
Among the guests at the wedding was Joshua Kushner, founder of the venture capital firm Thrive Capital. Mr. Kushner, son of the real estate developer Charles Kushner and brother of Jared Kushner, owner of The New York Observer, was Mr. Blankfein's roommate when they were undergraduates at Harvard.

NICOSIA, Cyprus — Europe’s surprising decision early
Saturday to force bank depositors in Cyprus to share in the cost of the latest
euro zone bailout set off increasing outrage and turmoil in Cyprus on Sunday
and fueled fears that the trouble will spread to countries like Spain and Italy.
Facing eroding support, the new president, Nicos
Anastasiades, asked Parliament to postpone until Monday an emergency vote on a
measure to approve the bailout terms, amid doubt that it would pass. The euro
fell sharply against major currencies ahead of the action, as investors around
the world absorbed the implications of Europe’s move.
In an address to the nation, Mr. Anastasiades painted an
apocalyptic picture of what would happen if Cyprus did not approve the strict
terms: a “complete collapse of the banking sector”; major losses for depositors
and businesses; and a possible exit of Cyprus from the euro zone, the 17
countries that use the euro as their currency… http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/18/business/global/facing-bailout-tax-cypriots-rush-to-get-their-money-out-of-banks.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20130318&_r=0

Despite talk of reforms and budget cuts, Annapolis dabbles in excessive borrowing, noncompetitive projects and risky investments
March 11, 2013 | By George Liebmann
There is a sharp disconnect between the image and reality of the O'Malley administration's fiscal policies. The image features pension reforms, reduced structural deficits, a rainy day fund, and protection of programs. The reality includes deferred maintenance, transfer of costs to local governments, "Medicaid cuts" that shift costs to hospitals and the privately insured, revenue bond financing for core functions, failure to curb pensions and health benefits, raids on open space and Injured Workers' Insurance Fund revenues, over-reliance on gambling (both literally and within the state's pension funds), and set-asides for public employee and construction unions and politically engaged businesses and investment bankers — payoffs funded by kicking the can down the road.... http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-03-11/news/bs-ed-state-finances-20130311_1_pension-system-pension-fund-school-construction

President Obama: The sky is falling March 13, 2013 by Kevin E. Dayhoff
Almost two weeks have gone by since the so-called
“sequester” of the federal budget went into effect and all indications lead us
to believe that the Zombie Apocalypse has not happened. Nor has it otherwise
resulted in the end of the world as we know it.
Remember the sequester?
It was the key and critical provision of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which
took effect on March 1.
According to Dylan Matthews on March 1, 2013, in The Washington
Post:
“The 2013 sequester includes: $42.7 billion in defense
cuts (a 7.9 percent cut); $28.7 billion in domestic discretionary cuts (a 5.3
percent cut); $9.9 billion in Medicare cuts (a 2 percent cut); $4 billion in
other mandatory cuts (a 5.8 percent cut to nondefense programs, and a 7.8
percent cut to mandatory defense programs).”
According to a number of astute political observers,
including Chris Cillizza, also of The Washington Post, the
sequester may very well have been over-hyped by a president who is not used to
media scrutiny.
Mr. Cillizza wrote in “Did
President Obama cry wolf on the sequester,” “In the days leading up
to the March 1 sequester deadline, dire warnings about its impact were being
issued daily from President Obama. Lines at airports would be interminable.
First responders would be compromised. Things would be, in a word, bad.”
At my advanced age, I can easily recognize political
silliness when I see it.
According to Media Research Center’s Brent
Baker, who wrote in an article titled, “Krauthammer:
Obama on Charm Offensive Because ‘Media Could No Longer Cover for Him,’”
“Charles Krauthammer credited President Obama’s charm offensive toward
Republicans to his losing the news media which couldn’t any longer abide his
ridiculous sequester ‘cut’ exaggerations.
Mr. Baker is the vice president for Research and
Publications at the Media Research Center, a conservative media
watchdog organization and think tank.
President Obama’s strongest constituency, which, according
to Dr., Krauthammer, “is not the left, it’s the mainstream media, could no
longer cover for him without being entirely embarrassed,” Krauthammer observed
last Friday night on the Fox News Channel, “It had to expose the
one exaggeration after another on the sequester.”
Dr. Krauthammer went on to observe that … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5670
