JayB Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Explain how this is possible.... "Carlyle Group Shores Up Listed Fund Holding Mortgage Loans LONDON (AP) -- Washington-based private-equity firm Carlyle Group has been forced to lend money to Carlyle Capital Corp. Ltd., a highly leveraged fund listed in Amsterdam that invests in residential mortgage-backed securities, to meet margin calls. In a statement Tuesday, Carlyle Capital said Carlyle Group has extended a $100 million one-year loan to help it fund itself, and that it has already tapped the loan for $10 million." These people manipulate the levers of the global power structure by merely blinking at them, we are all mere pawns in their mighty chessboard etc - it hardly needs to be said - cetera. Something as humble as levered mortgage-based securities could puncture the facade of omnipotence and invincibility, a bunch of working stiff's that got carried away after watching one too Carlton Sheets infomercials have inflicted a flesh wound on the *Carlyle Group* with their little defaulting I/O, neg-am, payment option 2/28s that they took out to purchase income properties yielding rents that cover less than half of the post-reset payments? I...think...not Perhaps this but a small part of their vaunted "false-flag" strategy - feigning a small measure of weakness before once again employing "sovereign" governments to enrich them by doing their bidding. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj001f Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I was once offered a job at a company owned by a principal of Carlyle. It was his company, not Carlyle's (~$50 million in sales or some such). He bought it because "He likes telescopes". Hobby companies, my new definition of rich.
